Switch Out The Bad Ingredients

Image
There is so much unnecessary sugar in items such as condiments for example, as well as other not so good for you things. People that struggle with health issues and people who are interested in what types of ingredients are in their favorite condiments are shocked when they actually read the labels! Here is a great quick guide on label reading: (see picture below) I find that once I started doing it, it became like second nature. I pick up an item in the store and the first thing I do is read the label. The companies have gotten the message of late, that people are not going to buy things that they think are "bad" for them or the ingredients do not coinside with their specific desired dietary needs, so they have been slowly illiminating them. Now those with a lactose intollerance or allergy for example, can find alternatives. This is great for everyone. I have personally been ketogenic for the longest time and I have been able to maintain my weight and my tummy feels well

Mamma And My Fragrant Kitchen

Image
Who knew I'd be making soup in Spring? Well it's May 1st and it's still chilly out,the temps near me a high of 48 degrees and it's cloudy, overcast and feels more like Fall than late Spring. So when I'm feeling blase' I hit the kitchen. I figured I had enough pantry items on-hand to make my family a simple chicken noodle soup. I'll share my pictures and mini recipe here, but before I do as an aside...I kept thinking about my mother; her heavenly birthday just passed us by and since then she's been in my thoughts, and she left me with the fragrant food memories. Here's a photo of my mom in the late 1960's (I think). She loved flowers and I inturn also love them. (Again, with the fragrance) I love looking out at my window and seeing this beauty everyday. But anyway back to soup and mom leaving a legacy of creativity in the kitchen. The oven and the stove boiling over all the time with the homemade goodness. I remember when we used to cook whole

Spring Is Near ,Homemade Pizza and Grateful Quiet Time

Image
I put my cushions on my patio chairs after we had a string of temperatures above our normal temps. of course I became Spring feverish! I know you did too. I even heard a motorcycle in the background and knew the warmth of Spring was near! I really did enjoy this cup of tea outside and it was 70 degrees, But the great Midwest and Mother nature has other ideas. While all the while my little bulbs are starting to burst all over. Spring Flowers! When the flowers begin filling in, it's just a gorgeous show. This winter however, we have found diggings, bulbs pulled out and mulch strewn about! We have found we have many furry friends like the voracious vole,the sneaky squirrels, and the big bellied bunnies who all have had a meal or two in our fine outdoor restaurant. Anyway, this Fall I have to replant the majority of my Tulips, the Tulips must be the preferred feast. So now that it's back in the 20's and the 30's, I've ditched the outdoor grill for making and baking in

Peace For Ukraine

Image
I thought it was important to share this. I know that in the last two weeks, you may have asked yourself this question. What can I do? For this posting today I put these nice sized (16 x 20") posters in my window. This was at the very least I could do, so in the next subsequent days I will be working with one of my blogging reps. to post more information and places to donate to Ukraine and to help with donations. I'm hoping that maybe you've asked what can I do as well. I'll provide a list of places so that if you do desire to donate you can, or if you just want to pass the post along to a friend you can do that too. Sunflowers have become synonomous with Ukraine and with peace. This acrylic painting above I did this past August when I was feeling especially creative, I hope you love it as much as I do and I thought it was perfect for this post. Have a superior day and look for my upcoming posts on places to donate. Let's all pray and share the message of hope
