Getting your “ducks in a row” with the 4Leaf Program…
That's my granddaughter, Violet, demonstrating her mastery of the concept yesterday in Georgia.
As the 4Leaf Program attracts more people, we’re getting frequent requests for help with recipes, meal planning and more. Almost everyone seems to love the simple 4Leaf concept and are looking for ways to “get their ducks in a row” in terms of leveraging the awesome power of this simple formula.
See photo of Violet getting “her ducks in a row.” There’s another photo of her at the end of this blog today.
Recipes. Good news to report with regards to recipes. All of our previously published recipes are now available online in a printer-friendly pdf format. For your convenience, I have provided links to Lisa’s first twelve recipes; just click below and you’re ready to print.

More good news about recipes
No, we don’t have a 4Leaf app yet with recipes, but we have the next best thing. I just purchased Dr. McDougall’s Mobile Cookbook yesterday. With almost one thousand recipes at your fingertips—and several handy search functions, you should never again be without a tasty and nutritious recipe for your next healthy gathering.
Click on the icon above to learn more.
A friend told me that she uses it as the grocery store to pull up recipes that include ingredients that are about to spoil in her refrigerator. For example, Susan has some broccoli that’s about to go bad, so she pulls out her McDougall app and searches for recipes that contain “broccoli.” She scrolls the list until something catches her eye. Then she can quickly see what other ingredients she might need to purchase if she wishes to make that recipe for dinner tonight.
The price of the app is $4.99 and it is getting some great reviews. And to my knowledge, it’s the only such recipe app that is completely loaded with lots of healthy 3Leaf and 4Leaf options. Click here to take a look at the iTunes store. Right now, I think it’s only available for the iPhone.
The 4Leaf Survey Update
Take the 4Leaf Survey now
This survey will enable you to determine approximately where you stand on our 4Leaf scale of eating. After a week of testing, we’ve now added a self-scoring feature on this useful tool. As this tool develops further, we plan to include it on a 4Leaf app for smartphones.
But until we have that app, you can access a one-page pdf version of the survey form (with 12 questions and an ultra-simple self-scoring system). Also included below are links to the pdf one-pagers of our 4Leaf refrigerator chart AND our 4Leaf Top Ten Lists for Success.

Thanks for the recipes. It might help to list the number of servings for each recipe. Recipes 1, 2, 4 and 5 print well but the others have some text that is shaded and harder to read.
Thanks again for all your efforts.
