Re(visions) #121 Celebrating Change

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

So we have realized that change is needed and we go forward with the
change.  We have created that support team around us to hold us
accountable, share wins, etc.
We keep our deep and meaningful “whys” in front of us and we are
affirming ourselves.
We avoid temptation by tapping into all this again and again until
it becomes second nature.
We see the change is good and we feel great about acheiving it. Can
you guess the next step?  I have
said before, do you remember?

Celebrate it!  Congratulate yourself! Tell people about it!  Buy
yourself
some flowers or go out with your loved ones and enjoy an evening
out.
Whatever works for you.  Just acknowledge yourself and your
accomplishment.

It feels great.  You gotta try it sometime. :)

Gluten allergies are on the rise.  Exact reasons are not wideley
known but many holistic practitioners feel that it is due to our
environment, how products containing gluten are grown, processed
and put into items we don’t even know about.

I found a recipe for some brownies that I want to share.  I haven’t
tried it but have tried similar recipes.

Let me know how it goes. :)

Re(visions) #119 Temptation & Change

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Opportunity tends to knock once, then it’s gone…temptation,
however, likes to stand there and lean on the damn doorbell! via
Status Shuffle on Facebook

We are all tempted right?  Human nature can bow to temptation.
Escpecially when we are trying to make a change like I have been
writing about in my previous Re(visions).  We want to make the
change and we know it’s the right choice but somehow that doorbell
keeps ringing reminding us that is was easier the old way.  Somehow
we have to find away to ignore that doorbell ringing in our ear.

I am going to reiterate this as I think it is important.  Use the
support team we have around us. Affirm ourselves, be in
present-tense positivness - I have succeeded.  Keep your deep and
meaningful “why’s” in front of you. Don’t forget them. 

Keep focused!

The opportunity for change is knocking.  Answer the door.
Sincerely,
Jeanette Johnston

Quick Breakfast Tips
 
Eat fruit first - fruit digests quickly and contains important
enzymes that help kick start your digestion for the day - follow it
up with some whole grain cereal (ideally, one made with assorted
grains you bought at the health food store, since commercial
cereals usually are highly processed and contain loads of sugar!)
and top with some yogurt. 

When you boil eggs, make extra so you have some easily accessible.
Have with whole grain toast and organic jam. - Quick tip - soft
boiled eggs are easier on your digestive system than hard boiled.
 
A multi-grain bagel w/ cream cheese - or soy or rice cheese - (The
PC Blue Menu bagels are smaller so you’re not eating an oversized
serving) - try topping the bagel with natural peanut butter or
other healthy nut butters such as almond or cashew.

baking with no fat - banana muffins

Monday, October 5th, 2009

I wanted to try and elimnate fat in this muffin recipe to see if we can get away with it.  So I read a couple of recipes and used my standard and made some substitutions.

Intead of putting in the oil (I use olive oil normally) I put in an equal amout of peach puree.  I figured it would supply moisture and the egg was still there to hold everything together.

I doubled the recipe which I find tends to make it harder to get a nice rise out of muffins cause you have to stire more but I did it anyway.  The muffins came out of the pan nicely! Whew!  First step to good muffins.

Taste test - while they are still warm I do a taste test - good flavour, very moist

texture - nicely squishy from the moisture - perhaps a little rubbery - is this because of not containing?

Next day- really nice flavour - I think I can taste the peach.  Still nicely moist.  Still slightly rubbery but perhaps a little better after sitting.  Maybe I’ve tried too many and can’t tell anymore…:)

So, no fat muffins are possible.  What a great way to supplement your nutrition with homemade, fat-free muffins!

Recipe - I took the Banana Nut Muffin recipe from the Joy of Cooking (my cooking bible) and left out the nuts for my kids’ lunches and substituted equal parts puree (I used peach but you can use apple or pear).  That’s it!  Seeds would be a great addition or chopped dates.  Yum!
