Mom-ism Monday
Yep, it's Monday again! Here's a quick chuckle to brighten your day. Mom-ism #2 because some things are worth writing down...
My Mom, that's her over there, has two granddaughters (my kids). I remember her saying this to them before they could even understand what it meant. I understood it! I pulled it out of the old brain vault and used it today with my granddaughter. She was crying uncontrollably. I was losing my patience. She didn't understand it but the words got her attention and I got a brief moment of sanity.
The cute saying shoots straight just like my Mom...point blank! She's hardcore but no one loves us more.
Reminiscing,
Tammy

Healthy and Yummy Breakfast Smoothie
I am not a medical doctor. I am in no way suggesting this tonic will relieve any diseases or help in any way medically. |
I love this quick, healthy and yummy breakfast smoothie. My kids like it too!
I know, I know! You were excited about WINE being in the smoothie. Wine would be a healthy ingredient to add. Wine is packed full of heart-healthy antioxidants and reservatrol according to The Mayo Clinic. I serve the smoothie in a wine glass because it's extra pretty and inviting to drink!
Click for the printable recipe:
2 Heaping TBSPs Rice Protein Powder (burns fat)
1 TBSP Borage Oil (an inflammation reducing fatty acid)
2 scoops Nature's Sunshine Ultimate Greenzone (provides 1/2 your greens for the day)
1/2 cup frozen sweet dark red cherries (antioxidant)FYI I created this smoothie as a result of taking Nature's Sunshine Ultimate Greenzone. I just can't seem to eat as many veggies as I should per day. Tammy's Healthy Tonic is a delicious way to make sure you're eating your veggies, burning some fat and reducing your arthritis pain.
Bottoms up,
Tammy

Gluten-Free Chicken Alfredo
My husband LOVES alfredo sauce! I hate milk.
He has gluten sensitivity and lactose intolerance. I want to keep him feeling well which means he's less cranky (know what I mean?). He requested this favorite of his. I delivered! I used the ingredients pictured right down there to make this deliciousness gluten free and allmmoossttt (I'm stretching it) lactose free. I can vouch for him. I'm pretty sure he didn't experience any discomfort because I didn't hear nor smell any. :)
Is this the best Chicken Alfredo one has ever eaten? Probably not. Is it a very viable substitute of a favorite dish for a gluten and lactose sensitive individual? ABSOLUTELY! My husband enjoyed it or at least he said he did! Try it out and leave me a comment with your review.

How to turn Gossip into Good!
|
Do you remember the last time someone wanted to hear your juicy
conversation and anxiously yelled "Tell me, tell me!"? Did you tell
them? If you did, you are not alone. A Social Issues Research Center
reported that gossip accounts for 55% of male conversations and 67% of
women's conversations, a much smaller gap between the two sexes than
originally thought.
The truth is not gossip, right? That is correct. Gossip is malicious talk of unconfirmed or false origin. Proverbs 15:1-3 reads "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good."
What about spreading good news that is true? Mark 16:15 instructs us to "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." One line my pastor said this past Sunday stuck in my head. He said "We should pass on the good news!" Immediately, the ugly face of gossip jumped into my mind. God quickly replaced my thought with his revelation. Telling the good news about the truth of Jesus Christ makes one a "GOD"-siper, not a gossiper! Psssttt, pass it on!
Feel free to leave me a comment with your thoughts.
Preach it ya'll,
Tammy
