    3-Minute Sinless Chocolate Almond Candy

    February 15, 2019

    How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth. (Psalm 119:103) Does including the word sinless in the title of this candy make you less interested in this recipe or more interested?  Do we somehow associate really decadent chocolate candy with naughtiness? After writing this full post yesterday, I went on Facebook LIVE this morning to demonstrate the quick and easy process for making this candy.  It really does take only three minutes to stir everything together.  Surprisingly quick! Please excuse the brief camera debacle at the beginning.  It’s been a long time since the last time I made a FB LIVE video.  But, it…

    Easy and Healthy How-To For LEMON CHICKEN & VEG Dinner

    February 9, 2019

    For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. (Psalm 107:9) This recipe is one of my quick weeknight go-to’s.  You’ll love the taste of eating out in a nice restaurant without ever leaving home.  It just occurred to me that this recipe is perfect as a special Valentine dinner without the hassle of fighting the crowds to get into a restaurant.  As a bonus, it doesn’t take all that long to prepare! The original recipe is for chicken with asparagus, which is usually the way I make it.  This time, though, I had fresh Brussels sprouts in the refrigerator calling out to me.  On a whim,…

    How to Make Broccoli Stem Soup with Kale Garnish

    February 2, 2019

    “Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred.” (Proverbs 15:17) When you buy fresh broccoli at the grocer, do you cut off and cook the florets and then throw away the stems?  I always have.  It seemed like such a waste, but I didn’t know what else to do with the stalks.  I didn’t realize broccoli stems can be so tasty – and extremely healthy for restoring our temple!  Read on ahead to find out why and how. Does this soup look dairy free to you?  I have to say, it definitely is smooth and creamy.  And, it absolutely IS  dairy-free.  There’s something about…

    Healthful Baked Zucchini Ziti

    So whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31) There is more to this pasta dish than meets the eye.  This zucchini ziti is not meatless.  You can choose ground beef or turkey – or even ground deer.  The American diet is overloaded with sugars and simple carbs and, worst of all, it’s lacking in ample quantities of veggies.  We are the most healthy when we eat foods close to the way God created them, adding in more vegetables to our meals whenever possible.    Zucchini is the health star of this dish!

    In my last post (How Anything But Optimal Health Limits Us In All Seasons), I kept thinking, “With so many healthy additions to my meals these days, where do I begin?”  God gave us His perfect food to keep us healthy.  He designed our bodies with a restorative ability gleaned from the nourishing foods we eat.  The problem is that man changed the food, insinuating that fresh fruits and vegetables are plain, boring, not tasty, and not good enough. The truth of if it is that we get very little nourishment from the popular foods of today.  It takes a targeted effort to include foods that pack a nutrient punch…

    Are you ready for Christmas?  I am this year, but that wasn’t the case last Christmas.  Our daughter decorated the entire house for Christmas last December, which was wonderful!  But things were hard.  Different.  Everything was a struggle. Large sections of lights on our thirteen-year-old artificial tree were lifeless.  Working lights had to be strung.  I said to forget it and not fool with it – to not have a tree at all.  It was beyond me.  With years of decking our halls when often no family members took part, I was ready to join the ranks of the others and do the same.  Details didn’t matter anymore.  December days…

My cousin shared a recipe with me that her niece had sent to her by phone image.  (What does that mean?  Is she my second cousin?  Third?  Once removed?  Twice?  Who keeps up with that stuff?) My cousin promptly sent the picture to me, and I printed the recipe from my phone.  (Gotta love technology!)  It had no notation of the source, and many changes were written in the margins.  It’s one of the most versatile chicken chili recipes I’ve…

Block, Deflect, and Replace  There you have it.  That’s it in a nutshell.  I’m sad to say I didn’t give the process the credit it deserved in my previous posts because it’s so simple.  After putting an end to my harmful thought patterns, I looked back on the process with these questions: Is that really all it took? Just a simple block and redirect of…

This recipe comes with a WARNING.  It’s not only addictive for me but for others, as well.  I made this recipe yesterday morning and split it with my mom (her first time).  She delayed lunch beyond her normal time because she wasn’t hungry as early as usual.  Last night, Mom said she had craved another latte all day.  So, beware.  😉 We’ll get to the recipe,…

    I’ve avoided this discussion for long enough.  This is a tough one!  For me, at least, it’s tough to come clean with all the damage I allowed through negative self-talk.  This may not be a problem for you (and I hope it isn’t), but if you struggle with negative self-talk, today’s post is for you. For years, I’ve been sensitive to correction from others.  Correction is supposed to help us, right? Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid. (Proverbs 12:1) I now know the reason (nerves damaged in the brain by Multiple Sclerosis), but there are times when I’ll be thinking one thing and something completely…

God gave me a love for laughter.  How about you?  As I wrote my last post about our recent motorcycle trip, I laughed about what I must look like to other people.  (Here’s the trendsetter  part, y’all.)

    It sounds strange, I know.  But, I don’t feel  sick!  I don’t even think I look sick (possible denial on my part).  Whether you’re in a season of wellness or illness, it’s possible to feel amazing!  God guides me and has proven it to me. How Can I Feel So Good While Fighting Cancer?   Step 1:  Feed Your Body It’s true what they say:  You are what you eat.  When you eat healthy foods, you give your body what it needs to function properly.  Eating healthfully gives your body strength…you have energy…your hair shines…your skin glows.  What could be better than that?
