Stop Waiting for Happiness Are you constantly waiting for happiness to show up? I spent the majority of my life waiting which ended up dealing with constant anxiety and even depression. Here is what helps me every day to experience more happiness, less stress, less anxiety and way less depression. We have two mindsets we can focus on daily: simply stated negative thoughts and positive thoughts. According to Shirzad Chamine, author of Positive Intelligence, they are also labeled as the Saboteurs and the Sage perspective.

Benefits of Food Rotation When exploring the benefits of food rotation, let's review the number one reason why which is to reduce chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is a prolonged and persistent inflammatory response in the body. It can be caused by a variety of factors such as poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, smoking, stress, and certain medical conditions. When inflammation becomes chronic, it can contribute to the development of serious health problems, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. The term "silent killer" is used because chronic inflammation can progress silently within the body for years, damaging tissues and organs…

Your Body Temple or Garage Is your body a temple or garage? Stop what you’re doing and ask yourself, “Am I treating my body like a temple? Or am I treating my body like a garage?” Maybe the answer will make you feel really good. Or maybe you won’t be happy with your answer. Either way, both are important eye-openers. Day-to-day life is busy for most of us. We spend so much time inside our own minds that we can forget, we have an entire body we’re attached to. God gave us one body that we’re tasked to love. God wants us to be happy and healthy. Are…

Black bean lentil tacos are a high-fiber meatless alternative to traditional tacos. They are also more economical and quicker to prepare than meat tacos. I wanted to share my favorite brand of gluten-free wraps. They are Siete brand and found in the refrigerated section of your healthier grocery store. They also have chickpea and almond flour versions. Or instead of using gluten-free wraps, I love this on a bed of greens, organic of course. It can always be served over organic rice or quinoa as a taco bowl. Speaking of, like always, use organic ingredients to lower your toxic load. Being primarily dairy-free is important to me as…

I found a classic milk-based recipe and converted it to non dairy tomato soup. Tomato soup evolves such strong positive emotions from my childhood. Nothing says home more than grilled cheese and tomato soup. I'm pretty sure I lived on it growing up. Hmm, maybe that's why I'm gluten and dairy intolerant?! However, we did throw in a few grilled peanut butter sandwiches along the way. Do you have a favorite food or foods that bring back positive memories of home? Not only did I convert to dairy-free but also gluten and oil-free. You never know when you healthily a recipe if it will convert as well. I…

Cauliflower Egg Salad Potato Salad is a staple in the South. At one cookout, there could be 4-5 different potato salads! I don't know that there is an occasion where potato salad wouldn't be accepted. According to my Digestive Health Test results, my body doesn't digest potatoes well. Which is a bummer because I love potato salad as much as the next person. So, I created the best of both worlds! Potato-less Potato Salad! Yep, you heard that right. We're going to use that vegetable that can replace almost anything, cauliflower. Check out this Cauliflower Egg Salad recipe! Ingredients 1 head of cauliflower (steamed or boiled) 3 boiled…

Avocado cilantro dressing can be used with crackers, salads, or as a raw vegetable dip. Plus you can use it on a wrap or sandwich instead of mayonnaise. The recipe as is will be thick but you can thin it by adding more water. The key as we know is finding that perfect ripeness of the avocado. And when you do, it's magic. I love garlic so you can adjust accordingly if you want more. My husband doesn't love it as much as I so I compromise with 2 cloves! Avocados are not only delicious but an important source of healthy fat great for adults and babies! It helps…
