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!

 It's simple! Just take the "double broiler"...unless you have a real double broiler, than please disregard the quotation marks ;)

and melt, 200 grams of 70% cocoa dark chocolate

and place that as the bottom layer of your pan. Let chill in freezer for 30minutes - One Hour and after the 30 minutes or so, when the "white chocolate" is ready, place that on top.

SOOO Delicious!
