Fast Fact Friday #4 - Metabolism Boosters

Hey There!

Hope you are having a fantastic day!

Today's fact is about boosting one's metabolism, and in order to burn those unwanted or excess fat and calories, it requires us to eat foods or drink fluids that'll aid the body in this process. We also want to stay away from foods and liquids that may inhibit the body from doing what it's meant to do, take care of us,  when we do our part in caring for it too. So, it's a win-win situation if done diligently and correctly, and while there are many foods, etc. out there for boosting one's metabolism, like citrus fruits, hot peppers, foods high in omega-3s, green tea, just to name a few, here are two that are super important in my opinion, and since I consume on a regular basis, for breakfast - whole wheat oatmeal, I find that it works absolutely well when it comes to amping up the metabolism of the body. It works and fast too! Of course, water is a must as well, and a sufficient amount of it on a daily basis is absolutely necessary to get things moving the right way. Well, enjoy this tidbit of info, and remember, take great care of yourselves until next time! Have a wonderful weekend too! Chow! :-)

Herb - Savor Pod by Prepara

Hey, Guys!

Hope your week has been lovely thus far!

Anyhoo, I found this extremely, really cool gadget that is a definite must have for the kitchen. It keeps your herbs, like parsley, basil, cilantro, rosemary, etc., even asparagus fresh for up to three weeks. Who couldn't use a cool little gadget like this? I know I could and just about everyone I believe, as I know we all would like our foods to last longer, the natural way of course, and voila, here it is, the "Herb-Savor Pod". I guess we weren't alone on that thought.  While I'm on the subject of being thoughtful, I solemnly believe it would also make a great gift for the food lovers and green lifestyle folks out there. See more details about this neat little gadget at Prepara. See also video demonstrations for more info about this neat little kitchen/refrigerator gadget, that I'm sure will be very useful for all of you.

A Vegan's Delight!

Hey, Guys!

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend thus far! As for me, I'm enjoying every creative moment of it, as I love being hands-on and making the things that are beautiful in my eyes, whether it's jewelry, designing/writing a book, editing a photo to be posted, and/or cooking a truly delightful meal - it's all a joy and fun for me! Here's to one that I whipped up today. It's definitely vegan, as I'm more a vegan type of gal than not, and when I'm not, I'm a vegetarian - still no dairy though. I've dropped dairy altogether early on upon my move here to the States, and that's over twenty something years ago.

Anyhoo, this meal was truly delicious! It's made up of Indian madras lentils, organic carrots, avocado, and red potatoes, as well as sweet potatoes! I pretty much came up with this carrot, plus mash potato blend when I was having a hard time deciding what to eat for lunch one day. At a whim's decision, I concluded to boiling some potatoes and carrots. Well, after they were cooked, while pulling them from the pot and onto my plate, it came to me suddenly to just mash the two together w/a tad bit of vegan butter and topped it off with some crackled pepper, and it was an instant hit! It was so darn delicious! My taste buds were having a grand ol' time...laughing hilariously :-), but it was so delectable!  So, here we are. I made it again and decided to post it for you to see. Enjoy! Be sure to do something creative each day. Fire up your imagination! You may just be surprised with what it may deliver to you.

Alright, please subscribe to my blog and share it with your circle of friends, acquaintances, and family members too. Also, would you be so kind and let me know what you think about it all. Stay tuned for more of my healthy meal concoctions! Take great care until next time! Chow! xoxo

Fast Fact Friday #3 - Cucumbers

Hey, Guys!

Here's to another Fast Fact Friday! I find these bits of information to be very helpful and valuable upon discovering them. I hope they're of some sort of value for you too. Please feel free to leave me a comment and/or feedback about your thoughts on it all. Btw, I absolutely love cucumbers. It's been one of my favorite veggies from when I was a girl growing up on the island of Jamaica. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but my grandma used to, she passed on some ten years ago, may God - our Creator continue to bless her beautiful and generous soul, but she used to grow them, among many other fruits, veggies, etc. in our backyard, and up to today, cucumber is still a favorite must have in my salads and smoothies/juicing too! Anyhoo, have a wonderful weekend! Take great care of yourselves until next time! Chow! xoxo!!! :-)
