Zucchini - Tahini Hummus

(If on a mobile device, scroll to bottom of page & click "web version")

Hey Gorgeous!

I am writing this blog, currently from my phone, in a hotel in Mesa, Arizona.

I took a last minute business trip and was not able to film before I left, as I did before my trip to Colombia, or New York or any other travels.

However, before this trip, I commited to myself that I would stay clear of High Glycemic Foods, aka, foods that cause a raise in my blood sugar levels, such as crackers, candies, certain fruit, breads, potatoes, as my body was having an adverse reaction to the high glycemic foods. My kidneys and liver were in bad shape. Despite me living a general "healthy" lifestyle.

So basically no sugar and I am 14 days strong!

So with that being said, I have had to cook even more than usual. Which I am ecstatic about! I am learning so much and experimenting so much with the Foods and spices that are low glycemic, and are basically Straight Up Medicine Food. 

I'm elated to share all as I learn.

So needless to say, even while traveling you can maintain a healthy lifestyle. It just takes a little more effort. Which all good things come with a little effort :)

I'll make an effort to film a vid, while I am here. I am in the market for a new computer, cuz mine isn't doin so well. He's an old man, and about up for retirement and I didn't bring my filming materials but an iPhone should do just fine. :) haha I'll do my best.

As my favorite personal development mentor says "It's never a lack of resources only a lack of 

resource-fullness"

Ok now for this yumminess!!

How To Make a Frittata

(If on a mobile device, scroll to bottom of page & click "web version")

Hi Gorgeous! I have been on a food cleanse for the past 5 days. I am working on detoxing my body of caffeine and sugar! Woo! It's hard work for this caffeine and sugar fiend, like me!

Not that I eat a whole bunch of refined sugar, because I don't.

But come to find out, my body was having adverse effects even from things like Honey, Cashews, Bananas.

So, I am forced to do a reset and then slowly add in foods, to see what is triggering the allergies, which from mine understanding, is probably Sugar and high glucose foods.

Anyway, I will keep you posted on all that I learn, as well as on the new recipes, I have to create, because of it. Because, you see, lady, I LOVE food, I am such a foodie! I so much enjoy Favors and the whole experience of enjoying food with friends and family. 

I just really really enjoy it all.

So, even if my body isn't going to let me enjoy, regularly, foods that I enjoyed so much, I will make the necessary adjustments and make Yummy food with different ingredients.

I have already started experimenting and bought books, to help me get there.

In addition to some classes I will be taking soon.

So lucky for you. You will learn all that I do! While I continue to Optimal Health!

My health journey is for another entry!

As for now! I hope you enjoy this Veggie Rich Fritatta!

It's been a Pleasure to eat this all week, during the first stage of my food detox.

I hope you my enjoy it too, just as a YUMMY HEALTHY Breakfast Food - For The Whole Family To  Enjoy!

Easy Healthy Homemade Sloppy Joes

(If on a mobile device, scroll to bottom of page & click "web version")

Sometimes, we create things and they totally bomb. 

That was not the case with this Easy Healthy Sloppy Joe Recipe, but it is the case of the video that accompanies it! Not one of my best videos, but none the less, it will walk you through the cooking process :) 

Really! More than anything else, I super hope that you enjoy this recipe! 

I would also, like to Thank the lovely, Mellie May, for the Sloppy Joe request. 

Mellie also has a very inspiring YouTube Channel of her own!: https://www.youtube.com/user/MellieMay80

Ready For The Video!

Ingredients: 
1 tablespoon olive oil

1 1/4 pounds ground turkey meat

1 Tablespoon Honey

1 Tablespoon Coconut Sugar 

**I Use Honey & Coconut Sugar because they are low on the Glycemic Index, so they don't spike our blood sugar levels and more easily broken down and used as nutrients/ energy for our bodies!***

1/2 - 1 Tablespoon, McCormick brand steak seasoning or whatever Steak Seasoning you have in your cupboard 

1 onion, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped
(To Learn How To Naturally/ Effectively Clean Your Produce -Click Here)

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 cups tomato sauce

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1230 Calories for the whole batch of Sloppy Joe Meat and usually will make us  6-7 sandwiches

100 Grams of Protein per batch, so about 16 grams per serving.

What Bread Do I Use?!

My Husband is very traditional with his Sloppy Joe bread and as he will make sandwiches with the Ezekiel bread, he won't eat it with his sloppy joes, so below is a picture of his sandwich and my open face sandwich. I will admit, that his is more visually appealing, but mine is equally, if not more, tasty!

I Love Ezekiel Bread! 

It's made from sprouted grains, it's flour less and low on the Glycemic index and most importantly, I don't get tummy aches from eating it! It's all Real Ingredients! (which are the best ingredients! :)

"Easy Healthy Recipes" Summer Strawberry Treat

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: Ridiculously simple and takes no time at all, so I am giving this one a Zero out of 5.

PRICE: $2. 6 strawberries, a half a lemon and Unsweetened coconut

TIME: 3 minutes.

Coconut has a myriad of benefits! Just to name a couple: Coconut is excellent for the digestive system, because it's high in fiber. It's low in the glycemic index and speeds up the metabolism.

Lemons are some of my most favorite things!! They are good for EVERYTHING! Interanally and Externally.  Most especially alkalizing the body.They are basically in sum, the most effective natural cleaning agent, for the insides of your body, to your skin and even kitchen counter tops. I even used them during my "DIY Shellac Manicure Video". I Love Lemons!

Strawberries are just Delicious, Period. They also help burn stored fat. They are High in fiber and low in calories. Strawberries naturally promote eye health and they are filled with biotin, so they are great for our hair, skin and nails. Just to name a few benefits! 

Here is the other recipe, I wanted to share, but didn't have time to make.

They are like 100% natural strawberry gummy candies. yummy in my tummy! and for my tongue! haha
