Bon Appétit!

Maybe you're like me and are always searching for new foods to add to a very limited diet or maybe you just want to eat a bit healthier or try some new things. One food that is hard to find in not so tropical regions that makes my mouth water and has incredible health benefits is Mangosteen.



 Known as the queen of fruit it looks like something from the Jurassic period. It is one of the oldest fruits on earth. Thanks to technology you can now have this sweet delicious superfruit on the go!

  

If you recently had your gallbladder removed or frequently get kidney stones or just want to build some muscle and love the taste of cheese but are trying to slim down, Nutritional Yeast is a great addition to any diet. Use it as a parmesan substitute or just to add some flavor and some easy to digest amino acids. Free of candida this addition helps the digestion of even the most sensitive stomachs. 


Growing up I was addicted to Mr. Good Bars and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups but the development of a peanut allergy cut short those happy Halloween treats until I discovered a great substitute!


Made with sunflower butter that's filled with happy brain food (Omega 3s) these treats are better than the traditional chocolate peanut butter combo!


Gluten Free

A great thing about going gluten-free is rice noodles are less calories and cook in a third the time! Try out my favorite brands today!

     

Of course, if bread is what you are after, You are going to knead a great flour! Personally, I love to make cheesy bread or a garlic and herb bread and a hundred others. Getting a rice flour that is ground finely enough to avoid the gritty texture took some time but eventually I found Namaste.


Not only does Namaste offer finely ground brown rice flour but the brownie mix is divine! 


Wishing you health, wealth and deliciousness! Bon Appétit!

A Parent's Nightmare

It was supposed to be an ordinary day, but a feeling something was going to go horribly wrong kept me awake the night before. I waited six months, because the first time they mentioned the routine procedure and the risks I knew my daughter was going to end up dead, or brain damaged.  I thought I'd waited long enough. After six months I believed things would be ok.  I told myself to relax and stop being paranoid. I shouldn't have. The anesthesiologist with tears in his eyes told me, "I'm not going to lie, she's not doing good. This is the worst day of my career." He was thinking of his career while my little girl was fighting for her life!?  He felt bad so I said simply, "I know you tried your best," wondering if my happy sweet little girl would ever smile at me again. There was no point in making a scene. It wouldn't save her. It might kill her. I had to step back and breathe. I needed to focus on giving her all the love a

A Girl Can Dream, Right?

Preparing for the cruise, a whirlwind of excitement and anticipation courses through my veins. Amidst sapphire waves and ocean skies, I'm eager to meet with my teammates, especially one sexy beast I've been mentoring late at night, a little too often.  A single man secure enough in his masculinity to be sponsored by a woman he'd never met, it was more likely I'd win the lottery but it happened!  Men that secure, are  as rare as a million dollars popping out of thin air!  Finding one man who would just listen to my dream let alone believe in it and share it, up until him has been impossible... yeah I'm ready to go past first base and then some! As I finish packing, I can't help but indulge in a few tantalizing semi erotic fantasies. From our first conversation, strategizing his path to success, I was completely intoxicated by him. After months of working together, I'm still feeling an  undeniable connection that has nothing to do with business. His confidence

Dreaming of Death

I dreamed I died, my usable organs were donated, and the rest of me was fed to the birds. I requested before I died, those who received my organs would gather once a year to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I dreamed pieces of my flesh were sent out to wildlife sanctuaries around the world.  I dreamed each year, I could see my daughter with my eyes and she could feel my love surrounding her.  I dreamed I soared with eagles, dove into the sea with the ospreys, and traveled the world in ecstasy.  Gradually, I felt myself fading away into the darkness.  My daughter's birthday came again. I lived in her smile and warmth. Like a brilliant sun, she brought life back to the surface. My essence swirled around her, through her. She became my home. I lived in her joy, in her peace I rested. Trees grew from the soil marked with remnants of my flesh, I felt the sun on their leaves, and I felt the cool rich soil bathing their roots. I felt myself in rivers flowing free and wild, splashing
