This basic rice is a good place to start. It is the basic side we have with meals daily. </h4>

In Taiwan - a greeting they use is "have you eaten (ni chi fan ma)?" Rice is such a integrated part of their culture, their word for food is literally "rice (fan)."<br />

Long time no see, eh? Well, that is because this year has been a year in a new location. An opportunity came to volunteer in Taiwan so I decided to take the journey half way across the world to share the gospel of Jesus with others. While here, I have learned so much. Relying on God's strength in each and every moment no matter how big or small the task at hand may be. Sometimes just going to the store and buying a bottle of water in another country can be a difficult and seemingly impossible task at first.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">My intentions are to share more recipes here as I learn more about cooking Taiwanese cuisine. Yes, it is much different than what most Americans would gravitate towards - but hey, at least give it a try! </span></div>

After settling in, learning some Chinese and eating a LOT of foods I'd never heard of before - I decided to take on the challenge to learn all I could about the culture and cuisine here. It is so different. So unlike anything I had experienced before in America. It was also very different than I expected. Even despite being in a place so strange from where I grew up, I have loved every moment of it and am proud to call it home for now. </div>

So, you're curious on how I cook yummy Italian gluten-free foods? </h3>
<div>
Read on, and get ready to make a meal... because this is going to make you hungry. </div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I was eating gluten-free I had one main obstacle... I missed Italian food. If you are like me, you like good pasta, cheese and marinara sauce. When you start a gluten-free diet it can be very confining, but instead of letting that box me in, I let it expand my "food vocabulary." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Okay, so I promised to talk all about what Italian dishes I came up with that are gluten-free, grain-free and super yummy. Did I mention that my entire family likes them? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Missed part 1? </span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1ObCpUY">See my 3 tips on substitute cooking here</a></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Here are some of the classics to try with a new twist. </span></h4>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lasagna:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"> For gluten-free AND grain-free lasagna ...try this out: </span><span style="font-size: large;">Take a large zucchini and run it through a mandolin slicer. Horizontally, you can make long slices of zucchini (or any other squash) and use that in place of noodles. You know what the good thing is? You don't have to pre-cook the "noodles." Just layer the long zucchini slices in place of the pasta and you have a great dinner coming up!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"> For another variation of gluten free lasagna, you can make a "tex-mex" version. <b>Yes, Mexican lasagna.</b> Start with corn tortillas. This time, the tortillas will be your "noodles." Layer enchilada sauce, taco meat, cheddar cheese and tortillas till your pan is full. Top with sauce and cheese and bake until cheese is melted and the lasagna is hot all the way through. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pasta:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: large;"> Rice pasta is a great way to feed a family or a crowd. It tastes pretty much like the real thing if you cook it correctly. Whenever you cook pasta, make sure to put salt in the water as it boils. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> A book that I highly recommend is "Pizza on the grill" by Karmel & Blumer. They show you how to make your own GF pizza crust that can go on the grill! Now there's no excuse to switch to GF now is there? </span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Last week I was chatting with a friend of mine that cooks and bakes gluten-free for her large family. I asked her what she would recommend to those just starting out with gluten-free living. She said... </span><span style="font-size: large;"> "The best thing you can do when starting out cooking gluten-free is to not OVERCOMPLICATE things. Don't make a fuss trying to make GF bread, just substitute another serving of veggies instead!" </span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just because something <b>can</b> be hard should not </span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">keep you from trying and doing it. </span></h4>

Yes, YOU can cook for them!</h2>
<br />
These days, people are more selective in what they can and cannot eat. Many people I come across cannot have gluten, sugar, nuts or other have other common food allergies.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Substitute cooking always throws recipes off a bit, but if you take a little time to find some good substitutes, your friends will be very thankful! </h3>
<br />
<h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before preparing food for people with allergies, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ask what they cannot have and stay away from those things. </div>
</h4>
<br />
Make sure when you are cooking food that they will be eating, that you do not cross contaminate dishes with food that they are allergic to. If you dip a wheat cracker in hummus the dip is now contaminated with traces of gluten. This can cause a reaction, so always beware!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Three tips for cooking with substitutes</h2>
<br />
<h3>
1. Don't make it complicated</h3>
Do you <i><u>have</u></i> to make a baked good? Go with dishes and desserts that naturally don't have gluten in them. Like ice cream, greek yogurt parfaits with berries for the sugar free.<br />
<h3>
2. Use substitute ingredients similar to the original ingredient called for</h3>
If you are using a traditional recipe, your cookies might call for granulated sugar. This is not only important for the sweetener for the cookie, but also for the creaming process with the butter that will give the cookie the air it needs to rise. Do not use a liquid sweetener in place of a granulated. Use a granulated ingredient in place so that you will still have that basic process still in place. Make sense? In place of sugar, I use xylitol. It is a natural sweetener that is zero on the glycemic index. You can use the same amount in place of sugar, or a little less since it is quite sweet.<br />
<h3>
3. Plan Meals around low gluten foods</h3>
Corn chips, guacamole, meat tacos (with corn tortillas) and a small taco salad and you are set! No gluten in that meal at all! How easy is that? Pick a protein, vegetable and a dessert that has no gluten and you will have one outstanding healthy meal that everyone can enjoy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
When I was eating gluten-free I had one problem... I missed Italian food.<br />If you are like me, you like good pasta, cheese and marinara sauce. What about pizza? You can hardly live without good pizza. When you start a gluten-free diet it can be very confining, but instead of letting that box me in, I let it expand my "food vocabulary."<br />My next blog post will talk all about what Italian dishes I came up with that are gluten-free, grain-free and super yummy. My whole family likes them. </h3>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
People with food sensitivities are willing to try a lot. They are brave. </h4>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
We should all be willing to at least try something new once. </h3>
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Here is a handy list of gluten-free flours I use:</h2>
<br />
<h3>
Rice (great for thickening sauces)<br />Oat (great for muffins)<br />Tapioca (used with other flours to lighten some heavy baked goods)<br />*Garbanzo bean (great for pizza dough)<br />*Almond (great for scones and crusts)<br />*Black Beans (cooked, they can put a lot of substance in a dish)<br />There are many more... </h3>
<h3>
---> visit your local health foods store for a large selection of gluten-free flours</h3>
<br />
* = flours that are also grain-free which some people prefer.<br />
Note: Many of the flours you can make your own by blending whole dry products in your blender (like a vita-mix) and then sifting it through a fine colander.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
Yep, I make a sugar free, grain free, gluten free brownie. </h4>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> Wait a minute!! How can you make something with that much stuff NOT in it??!! Well, you would never know. </span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
I served these brownies at an event once and the 75 people that ate them, never would have know that they are gluten free, grain free and sugar free. They just knew they were really good brownies! <a href="http://bit.ly/1SerL0a">Check out the Cook Your Way to Health book here for my recipe. </a></h3>

First things first...</h2>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Growing up on a farm has its pros and cons. One thing I always get stuck on is the though shoulder meat of the cows we process. It is always more tough if the cow is older... not fun to cook or eat! Well, after taking a <a href="http://bit.ly/1M2nBtk" target="_blank">chefsteps.com</a> sous-vide course, I had the knowledge to transform this tough cut.</span><br />
<h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what I did to take tough shoulder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stew meat and make it into my favorite way to eat tacos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cwlTTTJWsmM/VUmHBzRAMlI/AAAAAAAAA40/DQ3dhBwkkL4/s1600/simply%2Bbold%2Bbarbacoa%2Btacos%2521.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cwlTTTJWsmM/VUmHBzRAMlI/AAAAAAAAA40/DQ3dhBwkkL4/s400/simply%2Bbold%2Bbarbacoa%2Btacos%2521.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h2>
Ingredients:</h2>
<h4>
1 lb. Shoulder Meat, trimmed<br />1/2 oz. Ancho Chile Powder<br />1.5 oz. Ancho Chiles in adobo Sauce (add more for more spice!) This stuff is amazing<br />Season with salt and pepper</h4>
<h2>
<br />Now what do I do?</h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Mix all the spicy ingredients together</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Put in a vacuum sealed bag (being careful not to suck out the juices</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Cook Sous-Vide at 179F for 6 hours</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. After your tough meat has become incredibly tender, pull it out to the bag, shred or cut into bitesized pieces</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Serve simply on steamed corn tortillas with a bit of cilantro, red onion and a squeeze of lime juice. You can also add sliced avocado to your taco. The simplicity of these ingredients makes for quite a powerful punch.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<h3>
Cooking this shoulder roast sous-vide transformed it into incredibly juicy, smoky hot meat perfect for these tacos. I was honestly very surprised how well the tough meat broke down throughout the cooking process </h3>
<h3>
At first, I thought the tacos might be a bit dry, not having and type of salsa on them... BUT the meat was so juicy and pull apart tender, that it did not leave my mouth dry. Only full of flavor from the lime, cilantro and robustly blood flavored meat. </h3>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">So what is a curve ball?</span></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> As Wikipedia puts it, the phrase “to throw a curve ball” is essentially
translated to: introducing a significant deviation to a preceding concept. </span><span style="font-size: large;">In a way it is dealing with the unexpected before you. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Make
the most out of it!</span><div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Dealing with the unexpected is a never quite predictable.
However, the results will be worth your time and effort. If the meal does not
turn out perfect or as you expected, then you know what did not work in that
particular instance. Each time you learn something from a curve ball, you are
that much closer to hitting a home run. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Build up your staples</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"> If you do much cooking at all, it is essential to build up a pantry of simple ingredients you can fall back on without having to make that last minute trip to the grocery store. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: large;">Learn to cook with less dishes and tools</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Clean up as you go. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes the curve balls come
<i>after</i> the meal. The meal went perfect and dinner was amazing! Wait... now, you have the
task of cleaning every single dish that you own. No cook wants to spend hours cleaning up after they worked all afternoon cooking. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shortly after I learned a more
detailed way of prepping my cooking schedule (more on that coming up soon), I
made a meal and when it was served, there was not a dirty dish in the sink. It
was wonderful. Let me tell you, I <i>really </i>enjoyed that meal!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: large; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: large; text-indent: 0.5in;">I was inspired to attempt cooking that way after I read this:</span></div>

as she went, and it was often my job to fry and put away the dishes once they

this week<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On a whim, I decided to cook a nice
dinner for my family. Not to ambitious of a plan except, in an hour, I wanted
to have a nice dinner on the table. With not much time to plan, I set to work
with what we had. The main obstacle was that we did not currently have much in
the way of grains, meat or veggies. There was not time to thaw any meat; dinner
was after all in thirty minutes! I had to rely on what staples we had without
getting crazy notions of what I would get at the store if I had time. I had to embrace the challenge, and do my best. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thankfully, in our pantry we
usually have a good supply of dried pasta and canned goods leftover from our
summer garden the year before. So, here is what I did: While I waited for the
pasta to cook, I made some aromatic tomato sauce with some fresh herbs and
dried spices. I then slightly toasted some day old bread and spread on a bit of
compound herb butter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Your next meal, I challenge you to
use what is around you. That might sound boring because then you will end up
eating the “same old same old…” but do something <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">different. </i>Use your pantry with a new perspective. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bark-A-Licious, created by Judy Foster, is an all-natural, homemade dog
biscuit business located in Rochester, New York. Judy’s unconditional love for
animals inspired her to start Bark-A-Licious, in hopes to make the pups who
enjoy her treats that much more healthy. Judy graduated from Escoffier Online
International Culinary Academy from the Culinary Arts Program in February 2015.
Escoffier was part of her journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Judy
wanted to make sure she was formally trained in culinary methods and cooking
before starting the business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her
experience in the kitchen and love for cooking is what sparked this new, local
business. Judy is also certified in food safety by ServSafe. This was also an
important part of her cooking journey.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Judy is currently taking the Healthy Baking program classes through
Escoffier to learn more about different healthy food options and to incorporate
into her biscuit choices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The future
holds a potential gluten-free biscuit option.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3PHRPDMpyc8/VUDgV7Be4hI/AAAAAAAAA3w/Xro2q5zkeGo/s1600/looking%2Bat%2Btreat.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></a></div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pkFA1Mbg3nc/VUDhG52TWuI/AAAAAAAAA4I/FJOOHxWOHss/s1600/looking%2Bat%2Btreat.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pkFA1Mbg3nc/VUDhG52TWuI/AAAAAAAAA4I/FJOOHxWOHss/s1600/looking%2Bat%2Btreat.png" height="320" width="179" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Want a treat?</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now there are 6 different options of biscuits dog owners can choose from
Bark-A-Licious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When putting the list
together Judy thought about what dogs would like for a more standard biscuit
but also “dessert” type biscuits. The more standard biscuits contain a
combination of homemade chicken stock, oats, and whole wheat flour. The dessert
types contain any of these items from honey, peanut butter, to bananas. Judy
learned to make the chicken stock through her training with Escoffier.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bark-A-Licious biscuits are enjoyed not only </span><span style="font-size: large;">by dogs, but ferrets, and even humans! Her treats are healthy, all-natural, preservative free, and of course, tasty!</span><br />

Stay posted for more delicious recipes and ideas!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00963271559653502799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4348078385153443799.post-56815999966910718082015-04-17T12:10:00.001-05:002015-04-17T12:10:31.211-05:00Think outside the box? <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Look around you. Most likely you are sitting in a room that resembles some type of square or rectangle. <b>A box. </b>My first time in an airplane, I could not get over the fact that almost everything that I saw sliding by beneath me was all in perfect little grids. Roads, buildings, fields, barns, everything man-made was in squares and little boxes. Our lives are sectioned out and organized all around us. So, a shape and concept that surrounds us SO frequently becomes the way we think. In boxes and controlled environments. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> When your brain is told to: "Think OUTSIDE the box," what is your reaction? Yikes! Something UNFAMILIAR (scary I know!). We have to abandon what we are used to and think beyond things we can see and touch in front of us. God has given our brain an amazing memory and creative capabilities. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> If I ask you, "what is your favorite thing to do when it is raining?" Your mind probably goes a million different places, thinking of memories and ideas that we associate with rain. For me, when it's raining, I enjoy going out and standing in the rain. It is relaxing and very peaceful (as long as there is no lighting)! My point being, our minds are amazing and they frequently have to retrieve information to live life. What if we have a task before us like cooking, that has a creative side to it? Our brains get to come up with new, innovative, previously unknown ideas! Fun right? Hopefully it is to you. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I like to distinguish cooking into two different areas: </span><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Logical</span></b><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"> and Creative. </span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<a href="webkit-fake-url://1ADFFEBB-6A3B-4DDC-8649-A0D4780C0612/url.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="url.jpg" border="0" height="141" src="webkit-fake-url://1ADFFEBB-6A3B-4DDC-8649-A0D4780C0612/url.jpg" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" width="200" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">There is the<b> logical</b> side of things which require measuring, weighing, portioning, technique and precise control. I think bakers are often more logically minded. Very Mathematical. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Then there is the <b>creative </b>side of things. Color, contrasting flavor, experimenting with the unknown, improvising, creating. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Both are needed and used in cooking. Most people tend to be either a "logical cook" or "creative cook." Have you been called "a dumper" before? Then you just might be the <i>creative type.</i> The person that follows the recipe <u>as law</u> would be the <i>logical cook</i>. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I am a #creativecook at heart </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Before I went to culinary school, I was a "dumper." What I cooked was either great, or a flop. Learning proper cooking techniques and teaching myself to follow <u>very specific recipes</u> helped me become a more accomplished creative cook by leaps and bounds. Why? Because you have to strengthen your weak areas so that you can have a more balanced approach. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<img alt="url.png" height="195" src="webkit-fake-url://1F12C446-3B2C-4000-8DE0-9CDF1CD6CEEA/url.png" width="400" /></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I am now studying food science and every little nitty gritty baking concept because now I love the "why" behind baking soda vs. baking powder. That's another topic for another time though. </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">A well balanced chef is both creative and logical, trying brand new things meshed with proper technique.</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Don't be scared when you are encouraged to "think outside the box." Like any skill, <i>it takes practice</i>. Think fresh, without limits. Let your brain take time to imagine and think OUTside the box without defined boarders. Write your ideas in your flavor journal and try them out. </span></div>
<div>

Being a musician, I am often boxed into measures, phrases and rhythm. However, within the constraints, it is up to me to bring an experience to the listener by interpreting all the dots on the page in a meaningful way. </span></div>
<div>

This world is not by chance but by awesome design. God made it a part of us to want to design and create to further the parts of this world. There is nothing else quite like creating something.<br />
<br />
I once watched a lecture series done by Harvard on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL546CD09EA2399DAB" target="_blank">science of food and cooking.</a> It is an amazing series by the way and worth watching if your a science guru. One of the guest speakers <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferran_Adri%C3%A0" target="_blank">Chef Ferran Adria</a> said something along the lines of...<br />
<br />
<i> <span style="font-size: large;">"If I asked each of you to create a dish right now, it would be very hard to come up with a new concept and make it happen. However, if I asked each of you to take the concept of the omelet and come up with a variation on the dish, you could each easily do so."</span></i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
His point was, to start from a blank canvas is challenging. Varying something already existing is maybe not simple but definitely more doable.<br />

<br />
Well, for any of you who do not know who Ferran Adria is, he has come up with some of the most miraculous dishes that are now used in restaurants all over the world. One of my favorites is the process of "spherification." Creating a sphere out of a liquid... see video below:<br />

<br />
Creativity is my thing. Once as I understand the technique behind my idea and know how to implement it... look out! Every part of life gives me ideas for dishes. Not just something in the pantry or something I have eaten before. Here is a list of things that consistently give me ideas to write in my <b>flavor journal.</b> Don't have one? <a href="http://bit.ly/cookbookworm" target="_blank">Read about mine here.</a><br />
<br />
Idea provoking objects:<br />
a particular shape<br />
color<br />
aroma<br />
geometry<br />
texture<br />
people<br />
design (modern, rustic, classic, etc)<br />
a certain place or location<br />
memories<br />
<b>sound. </b><br />
<br />
Let's stop right there. Sound. Being an improvisatory musician I am always wondering, how would the color of bright orange<i> sound? </i>How does spring air and freshness sound? How can I compose in a way that brings on tone that expresses those things. Now, what if my compositions were expressed through food? Wow. <i>How would the sound of Mozart "taste?" </i>What about the sound of a hollow forrest in winter?<br />
<br />
<i>Things to ponder for sure. </i><br />

Naturally, I am not a book worm ...unless I find a <i>really </i>good book on a <i>really </i>good topic. Lately I have found some good books and I have enjoyed reading them (over and over and over).<br />
<br />
Every page, the golden sentences jump out at me and tie together everything I have been attempting in the kitchen. Here are just a couple quotes from books that I have been reading this week. I believe they will be of use to you as they have been to me.<br />
<br />
<b>"Success is a poor teacher. Baking is a craft mastered only through <i>years</i> of trial and error. It is important to remember to let yourself try and fail - it's only flour, water and time." </b><br />
-Artisan Baking Across America by Maggie Glezer<br />
<br />
<b>"Every important lesson in baking has come learning from my mistakes. If you know <i>how</i> it can go wrong then you're well on your way to mastery." </b><br />
-Bake Like You Mean it by Gesine Bullock - Prado<br />
<br />
When you sit down to read a cookbook, grab your flavor journal. Don't have one? Make one! Mine is a small padded black notebook with white stiching on it giving it a very cushy comfortable cover. I have no doubt that it will be filled up soon and be "volume one" in a long line of flavor journals.<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xa_jqcx0Ehs/VR3nnj_6fvI/AAAAAAAAA10/HE1Pl1vEqk4/s1600/cookbook%2Bworm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xa_jqcx0Ehs/VR3nnj_6fvI/AAAAAAAAA10/HE1Pl1vEqk4/s1600/cookbook%2Bworm.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<br />
Now that you have your flavor journal, take time to think about the flavors listed on the page before you. Envisioning what it would look like on a plate. What it would taste like in your mouth? If a thought comes to your mind about how you can alter, improve or experiment upon the recipe before you, write it down (always log what cookbook you were reading and what page for easy reference)! That is a cherished idea and you don't want to forget it. Every idea is worth something. It may not be a stunning dish, but it could lead to a unexpected flavor revolution.<br />
<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3526168567960902" data-ad-slot="5269179278" style="display: inline-block; height: 250px; width: 300px;"></ins><script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
<br />
Whenever possible, I make time to experiment and try out the ideas I have written down. Then I write down how it turned out, what I would do differently or not. Before you know it, you will have a great book full of ideas that are just your style, and that is what makes you unique. It is important to be able to replicate traditional dishes or a certain style... but in the end, people want to see your style. Be <i>creative</i> and be<i> you. </i><br />
<br />
What are your favorite cookbook or culinary topic books? Comment below and let me know! ...I might just read another one (or two...)<div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you so much for reading! Have any Questions? Comments? Want a recipe?

<br />
Traditional dips include sour cream and onion, ranch dip, hummus, salsa, yogurt fruit dip, guacamole, cheese fondue, bean dip and many more. But what if you want to venture out... create something new... make something different? Well, you can. The idea of making something without a recipe may be frightening to some, exciting to others, or just plain incomprehensible. Until you have established a few simple flavor pairing rules, you could be getting yourself into a doozy!<br />

Think about what a particular dip is like. What texture(s) does it include? What is it eaten with? Is it cold or hot? What is the main ingredient?<br />
<br />
I am not here to give you a recipe with<span style="font-size: large;"> step 1-2-3 </span>of how to make a great bean dip. I want YOU to<span style="font-size: large;"> venture out and explore.</span> There is a whole world to discover.... one that is not in cookbooks. <span style="font-size: large;">It is in your head.</span> You just have to cultivate it and try things out. To me, there is no such thing as a failed failure because each failure gets us closer to success. If I quit cooking when I had my first failure, I would be in the kitchen with that pot of <span style="font-size: large;">black beans that exploded.</span> (for that story, read my book <a href="http://cookyourwaytohealth.myinstapage.com/" target="_blank">"Balance for Busy Moms"</a>). What turned out to be my biggest failure to this day, led me to a great success. <br />

<br />
Okay, so back to the dip creating now. The key is to separate your options into three categories.<br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">Base</span><br />
What is the base going to be? Think about what texture you want it to have. Should it be creamy, sticky, thick?<br />
<br />
Here is a list of some bases that I use:<br />
Cream Cheese<br />
Sour Cream<br />
Greek Yogurt<br />
Avocado<br />
Peanut Butter<br />
Honey<br />
Salad Dressing<br />
...add a few. What else is similar to the ingredients above?<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">Main Ingredient</span><br />
This gives your dip that awesome flavor. What is your dip supposed to highlight? Make this ingredient the most important.<br />
<br />
Here is a list of some main ingredients:<br />
Tomato<br />
Onion<br />
Red Pepper<br />
Cucumber<br />
Beans<br />
Graham Crackers (dips don't have to be savory... go with something sweet!)<br />
Oil<br />
...only to name a few!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">Spotlight</span><br />
This is where the fun comes in! The spotlight is the secret ingredient. Flavor that adds to something in order to make the main ingredient pop!<br />
<br />
Here is a list of some:<br />
Salt & Pepper<br />
Garlic<br />
Cumin<br />
Sugar<br />
Chile Powder<br />
Onion Powder<br />
Chocolate Chips (they are good with everything right?)<br />
...keep going, use your imagination.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Water. It covers seventy-one
percent of the earth. Our food is grown by it. Animals cannot survive without
it. Many things are powered by it. We become so used to it and do not realize
how much our lives revolve around water.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Water is relaxing and frightening.
People spend countless vacations doing nothing but going to lakes, rivers and
the ocean. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, in an instant, a
storm can rise and cause people of differing background and types to work
together in saving lives from the dangerous waves and currents that so easily surround
them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
A Chef cannot cook without it. Although
plain water may not be used in the recipe, the food that is used, the meat that
is cooked, the ingredients being mixed, could not exist unless water had been
there. For the plant, for the cow, whatever it might be. Our lives cannot exist
without water. In fact, a person can only live a few days without water. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Why is it so important? Our bodies
are made up of sixty percent water. It is essential to life. Every day people
draw water from wells to sustain themselves. Some dipping buckets in wells,
others by turning on the faucet. However, in drought or in dire circumstances,
the well can go dry. It is then that we realize how much we need this essential
ingredient to life. Are you thirsty yet? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
In John four, we read about when
Jesus went to Jacob’s well. He was weary from traveling. When we are weary, hot
and tired, there is often only one thing on our mind. Getting water. This
particular day, God had a unique plan that would satisfy several kinds of
thirst. Along came the Samaritan women and He asked for a drink. Water that she
had to draw out everyday for nourishment. She most likely came to the well for
water daily. Jesus in His sovereignty knew that she needed more than the water
that pooled in front of them. He offered her something she had never seen
before, something that she could not live without. Living water that would give
her eternal, everlasting life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Every day the Christian draws from
the well of living water to sustain and keep them. Just as we daily depend on
water on earth, so me must daily depend and drink the living water that Christ
has given to us. We cannot live without Christ, our living water, our life and
our sustenance. He is a part of everything in life! Christ offers more than
just water for us physically, He provides living water. The woman came to the
well that day to get something. She returned with more than she was planning on
getting. She excitedly shared what she had gotten. This day was different than
the others because she had experienced water that would not leave her thirsty.
Now, no matter what, the living water in her life would never grow dry. Praise
the Lord that we will never thirst again! <o:p></o:p></div>

This weekend ends the submissions for the <b>CrockStars Competition.</b> All Contestants had to create a 2 minute video of their favorite culinary creation with a crockpot. I had the amazing oppertunity to enter and guess what I cooked? <b>Gourmet "Sous-Vide" Hamburgers.</b> Ever since I heard of the French cooking method of "Sous-Vide," I was fascinated with it. It simply means cooking food "under-vacuum." So, <b>cooking foods in a air-tight bag submerged in hot water.</b><br />
<div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
I have experimented a lot with this cooking technique and even though there is a lot of fancy equipment that chefs use to perfect their results with Sous-Vide, I wanted to simplify it for the home chefs out there. When I saw the CrockStars competition, I knew this could be my chance to show people how easy and how delicious cooking sous-vide can really be!<br />

Here's how...Lately, I have literally been in the kitchen all the time, and surprisingly I have enjoyed every minute of it. Why? Because I get to experiment in many different ways. I feel like a mad scientist at times trying to get things to work together that have never even mixed before.<br />
<br />
If you are creative, passionate or just tired of eating the same thing... you just might want to think about creating your own recipes!<br />
<br />
Playing around with food you certainly come up with some <b>amazing</b> and some <i>interesting</i> combinations that you will never forget!<br />
<br />
Creating recipes takes a lot of planning, behind the scenes prep and many hours of hard work. But believe me... it is totally worth it! I tell the story of my biggest kitchen disaster in my cookbook <a href="http://www.cookyourwaytohealth.myinstapage.com/" target="_blank">"Cook Your Way to Health."</a> A lesson learned, and not forgotten. However, out of that unforgettable disaster came my now most popular recipe for black bean brownies.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">― </span><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/3091287.Thomas_A_Edison" style="background-color: white; color: #666600; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;">Thomas A. Edison</a><br />
<br />
You have to somehow get all the details of a organized kitchen to come together in a beautiful stunning meal.<br />
<br />
Many of you already are designing your own recipes on a daily basis without you realizing it! A pinch of this, a dash of that... and the dish you were creating just turned into something completely different. All you have to do is plan ahead a bit more and write it down, because people are going to want to replicate your dishes if they are well planned and thought out!<br />
<br />
So, how do you compose your <i>own</i> recipe? Strive to find aspects of food that harmonize well together. Contrasting<b> flavors, textures and colors</b> are three big things you want to start off with.<br />

<br />
Think about some of the classic music symphonies. Using unique instrumentation in a variety of ways letting the soaring melodies take you to amazing places with just a simple variation of the theme. It is the same with cooking. Let your ingredients do the work for you and just add in the things that are going to pull all the main components together in a symphony that will tickle your taste buds.<br />
<br />
Starting off with a blank sheet of paper and a bunch of empty measuring cups can be a daunting task but don't try to do too much. Simplicity is key.<br />
<br />
First think, what do you want the main flavor of the dish to be? For an easy start, think of a few things you have on hand. I have a lot of broccoli right now. Broccoli? Ok. How can you twist broccoli up a bit? Let's use a more non-traditional part of the broccoli. The Stem. What other ingredients can we add in? Not too much... we want to stay SIMPLE right?! Butter, minced garlic and black pepper. The butter will let it cook nicely in a sauté pan, and the garlic and pepper will add in some extra uniqueness. The end product ended up very tender, flavorful and defiantly something I hadn't tried before.<br />

Hannah's Food Journey has taken yet another turn. What has happened most recently? I am starting to cook as a personal chef. I am really enjoying it because I get to cook more and I get to try out more ideas and recipes!<br />
<br />
This morning I went to the store to get the needed groceries, then back to the kitchen to cook Squash Casseroles, Chocolate Chip Muffins and Hummus.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-xybddeEid-E/U_K0p-4a64I/AAAAAAAAAwo/qje8onvXLRY/s640/blogger-image--909345497.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-xybddeEid-E/U_K0p-4a64I/AAAAAAAAAwo/qje8onvXLRY/s320/blogger-image--909345497.jpg" width="320" /></a> This afternoon, I had a great trip with my dad to go shopping at a local used bookstore for cookbooks! I lost track of time as I buried my nose in countless cookbooks getting many ideas. To finish the day I headed home to fix dinner and get stuff ready for tomorrow morning's first food delivery!<br />
<br />
Aside from the actual cooking part of it, I am really getting to know the people. Everyone sits down to three meals everyday. Anything I can do to make mealtime a more exciting experience for the diner is thrilling to me.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is another busy day. I will be making many menus, plans and lists for the upcoming weeks. As I add more people to my lists I stop and wonder... how did I get this privilege? <br />
<br />
Even though I had a busy day, it was a great day as a personal chef!<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Loving Life Without Gluten</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Back in October 2009 I realized something was very wrong
with my oldest son who was two at the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He had begun developing as a typical child does, then around 16 months I
noticed that he was changing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He would
no longer look us in the eye.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His smile
was gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He began to have constant
temper tantrums. He was upset more often than he was happy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just had a new baby and my first son didn't
want to have anything to do with his new brother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He didn't have any language to tell us if he
wanted or needed something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seemed
like my son was slipping away. He was in his own little world, content to
engage in repetitive stacking of blocks instead of connecting with us in a
meaningful way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I began to suspect that
my child might have Autism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The word
scared me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn't want to talk about
it or even think about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Around the same time my good friend Rachel suggested that I
look into a gluten-free casein-free diet for my son.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She said she heard it was making a big
difference for a lot of children who were dealing with Autism Spectrum
Disorders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was offended that she would
bring this up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was doing the best I
could to feed my children the healthiest possible way I knew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn't give them junk food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They never ate fast food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How dare she suggest that I wasn't doing
enough! Something changed in my heart as I realized she was just trying to
help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> I began to research the diet and discovered that parent
surveys done by The Autism Research Institute list the gluten-free casein-free
diet as one of the most successful interventions for the treatment of Autism
Spectrum Disorders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to one
theory most, if not all, children with Autism have a damaged intestinal lining
or “leaky gut”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because digestion is
compromised, the child's body is not able to properly digest the gluten and
casein proteins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These incomplete
proteins, or peptides, travel through the “leaky gut” into the blood stream
where they cross the blood brain barrier and bind to opiate receptors in the
brain. The peptides then alter the person's behavior, perceptions, and
responses to his environment. It all seemed very overwhelming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn't even understand what gluten
was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How was I supposed to take it out
of his diet? I decided to start with removing casein because I knew what that
was.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> I remember the first night I gave my son a little almond
milk instead of regular cows milk before bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He didn't drink it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt like I
was depriving him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started questioning
my decision already.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next night we
tried the almond milk again, and once again he didn't drink it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sauntered off to bed, but this time when I
leaned in to kiss him goodnight he didn't turn away! This was the first time
that he let me kiss him square on the mouth! I remember cheering, clapping, and
celebrating with tears flowing down my cheeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I must have kissed him 50 times in a row.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is what it felt like to have a child
respond to a mother's love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
absolutely incredible! I decided right then and there that I would commit to doing
whatever it takes to help my son.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt
empowered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was something I could
do to help him! I didn't care that the pediatrician thought diets didn't work.
When my son was officially diagnosed with Autism in November of 2009, I
realized that I was already proving the pediatrician wrong. My son was fully
capable of loving me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We just had to
figure out how to help his little body heal so he would be able to express that
love more easily.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> I started researching gluten and slowly trying to replace
our old food with gluten free alternatives. Many times I bought things thinking
they were gluten-free only to find a hidden source of gluten.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to give myself some grace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I might not have him transitioned to a
gluten-free diet overnight, but I was doing the best I could to head that
direction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> My son had a lot of texture sensitivities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remember putting a spoonful of food up to
his mouth and he would start dry heaving before it even touched his
tongue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were lots of days that he
hardly ate anything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I stayed the
course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through trial and error we made
it work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made muffins with shredded
carrots and zucchini. I blended vegetables into smoothies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could get him to drink almost
anything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started juicing and he would
drink his fresh green juice so quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As his body healed he became tolerant of more foods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was a very slow process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many nights dinnertime felt like world war

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> About a year ago I found an amazing product called Juice
Plus. It is a whole food nutritional supplement that has been incredible for
us. A friend of mine told me about it and it made sense to me because it was
such an easy way to make sure my boys were getting nutrients from a wide
variety of fruits and vegetables every single day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since we started taking Juice Plus my kids want
to eat more fruits and vegetables.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their
little bodies like what they are getting and are craving more!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for five years now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My son is now seven
and has made incredible progress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
talks in complete sentences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His eyes
are sparkling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He loves hugs and
kisses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He plays with his little
brother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is brilliant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He reads at a fourth grade level and is
fascinated with solving word problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He loves life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am so blessed to
be his mommy. What a little miracle he is! We still have a ways to go on his
journey to recovery, but I do believe he WILL recover.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With God all things are possible!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> If for any reason you are considering going gluten-free I
would encourage you to try it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Start by
figuring out what foods have gluten in them and replace those with gluten-free
alternatives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Search the Internet for
gluten-free recipes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Buy ingredients one
at a time to make foods that are exciting to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Get in the kitchen and experiment! Remember,
just because something doesn't turn out perfectly the first time doesn't mean
it is not worth trying again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your
attitude is incredibly important here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Focus on what you CAN eat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be
thankful that you choose to take a step to increase your health and
happiness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take it one step at a time.
Surround yourself with support. Give yourself grace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stick with it and I bet you will agree that
it was worth it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hey Moms! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
It’s Friday and the weekend is already
upon us. What are you doing to get ready for July 4<sup>th</sup>? My family
always likes to grill. Oh, you know . . . the typical hamburgers and hot dogs. <span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">But what</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
about doing something different? Of course you could still grill out,
but throw something different on the grill! Like black bean burgers, or healthy
French fries made of sweet potatoes? One of my favorite grill out drinks is Tea
Soda. First, make a very concentrated version some of your favorite herbal tea
and pour it over chilled carbonated water! Don’t forget to add frozen peach for
ice.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am all about traditional, but with a twist.
Twist things up and give your family healthful foods that are fun and exciting.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do not forget to add in the strawberry
sorbet for dessert. Watch my video on how to make it here: <a href="http://bit.ly/HFJstrawberrysorbet">http://bit.ly/HFJstrawberrysorbet</a> It
just takes a second to whip up, and it is SO refreshing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">

family and they will feed you with love and awesomeness! If you want more

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Life
is full of transitions. From finding a job to getting married to having a baby,
we are constantly faced with change. </span><a href="http://www.avelist.com/"><span style="color: #104abd; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Avelist </span></a><span style="color: #1a1a1a; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">is a website where people can

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Becoming
a mom is one of the biggest changes a person faces in their life. Working at
Avelist, I see moms use our platform to ask each other questions and give
advice all the time. I’ve noticed that a lot of expecting mothers are concerned
with their diet. A lot is said what they should be eating during their
pregnancy, but what about what they shouldn’t? </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pregnancy is the only time in your life what you eat
directly affects another living being. When you become pregnant your immune
system weakens making you more susceptible to food-born illnesses. Women who
contract food poisoning are much more likely to experience pre<span style="color: #1a1a1a; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">gnancy</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;"> </span>compilations or even a miscarriage. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So pay attention – this is important stuff!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most Important Food Warning:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the biggest concerns for pregnant women is avoiding
foods contaminated with the bacteria listeria. This bacteria is one of the main
culprits of food poisoning and is found in unpasteurized products such as soft
cheeses and fresh juices. It can be also found in deli meats or undercooked/raw
meat. Listeria has the potential to be fatal to your baby, so if there is even
a question the answer is always better safe then sorry!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Common Myths:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just as important as what to avoid, is knowing what
pregnancy diet myths to not buy into. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first myth is that pregnant women should eat for 2.
While technically you will be providing nourishment to both you and your baby
during pregnancy, this does not mean you should double your caloric intake.
This in fact can be harmful to your pregnancy. It is advice that women should
only increase their intake by about 300 calories during the second and third
trimesters. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second myth is that the foods that pregnant women crave
are always a reflection of their nutritional needs. False. Pregnant women will
crave all sorts of strange foods many of which are not healthy options for
their babies. It is important to be mindful about making quality choices about
your pregnancy diet instead of merely listening to your cravings. <o:p></o:p></div>
