Sunday Morning Crepes

July 17, 2016

Sunday morning crepesWent for a hike this morning and it was glorious outside!!  Wanted to take our youngest daughter out to breakfast and she said she would rather come home and save the money.  (how did I get so lucky??)

However, knowing how her mama cooks…these crepes are probably the reason why. Once you start cooking better foods, you will notice when eating out things do not have the same flavor they use to.  Your palate will change and that is good because the less toxic you are the more sensitive to flavors (real flavors, not just sugar & salt…the main seasoning used in most foods) you will become! read more

Coconut Whipping Cream

July 15, 2016

coconut whipping cream

This easy-to-make, must-have-staple will be used frequently when you commit yourself to a dairy-free lifestyle.  I seriously, do not miss real whipping cream any longer.  The benefits of Coconut Milk are numerous, the MCFA’s (medium chain fatty acids) are wonderous and do not increase inflammation in the body like dairy does!  I have a couple tricks up my sleeve that have made this process a little easier than when I started.  So, please whip it up and enjoy!! read more

Recipe Notes

The key to success in this recipe is all in the preparation.

I have tried almost all coconut milks out there and have found Trader Joe's Coconut Cream to be the best option with the best turn out and least waste.

Also, the longer you refrigderate...the better.  Many sites will say 24 hours, but really I find again that anything after 48 is best.  Also, if you are in a pinch and forgot to do this ahead of time, you can always throw in the freezer for 20-25 minutes.  Just want to make sure contents have thoroughly cooled (not froze) before whipping.

Lastly, this trick has been handed down to me by my mama.  Before you whip your cream, freeze a metal bowl for about 20-30 minutes.  This will ensure that your cream stays cool while you whip the crap out of it!

Eating Out.

It will happen.

You can’t avoid it forever.

Someone will ask you to go out to eat with them.  Friends wanting to get together.  Family wanting a fun night.  Something to celebrate.  Maybe you are just too lazy to cook.  In any case, read more

After,Before and After?

Me in the green

Me, today

[spacer height="260px"]

What's to come?!

 

So, before we begin. let me explain....

We have seen everyone's Before and After pics and had that surge of emotion that comes with seeing the dramatic transformation in someone else and think to ourselves, "I CAN DO THIS!!".  The motivation, however, tends to be more fleeting; especially when you are faced with your food nemesis and good old motivation takes a vacation and you are back to where you started.....

 

NOWHERE.

 

And maybe you did decide to bite the bullet and go for it with great success and achieve the pinnacle of health that you set out for yourself.  Congratulations!!  You worked hard, said no to food nemesis and got through the tough stuff.  Only to find yourself, so many months or years later back to where you started...or maybe...you are actually worse off than where you started.  This is the cycle so many of us know all too well.

 

This is where my story begins.  I am worse off than ever before.
