All about Kids ~ Lies & Truths

There are several books out there on how to get more nutrition and vegetables into their kids by using a little deception and planning for mealtime.  The plan is all about adding pureed veggies to well... everything... like..casseroles, brownies and pasta sauce to name a few.

Well, in theory it's a wonderful concept. HOWEVER they are all talking about adding cooked food to their meals to be possibly cooked even more.  I just can't see how this will be more nutritious because... "Cooked Food=Dead Food".      This whole idea of helping our children become healthier by using foods is such an important one but using dead food to create that is just not gonna happen!  So I thought I would give you an  idea and show you that with a little tweaking how this concept can be just PERFECT!! 

Green Slimey Sauce with Pasta (remember it's named for kiddies)

Ingredients:
2-3 Avocados
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 cup baby Spinach
2-3 leeks
2 garlic cloves
2 Tomatoes
Olive Oil for sauteeing
Salt and Pepper (optional)
Pasta (I LOVE Trader Joe's Alphabet Pasta, they are large, hold up well kids & adults are amused by them)

Directions:
*Cut Leeks in strips and place in cool water to clean or in strainer to rinse.  (they can hold a lot of dirt) Cut white to light green and chop ... then sautee in Olive Oil in large skillet
*Cook pasta.
*Chop Tomato into tiny pieces...set aside
*Squeeze lemon in food processor
*Add all ingredients in Food Processor (except Tomatoes) and blend to sauce  

*Add the blended food to sauteed Leeks
*Put Drained HOT Pasta in large bowl ADD Leek/ veggie mixture and chopped Tomatoes

*MIX
*Serve... DELICIOUSLY NUTRITIOUS!!!

Serving size would be 1/2-1 avocado per person... the bigger (adult) the person the more avocado
VARIATION: You can add spanish olives to the completed pasta dish and call them green eyeballs...

You can serve this dish with my favorite salad:
cucumber, tomato and chickpeas... with your favorite salad

Please let me know if you make this and what you think of it...

Are you Sick and Tired of being SICK & TIRED?

It’s just amazing to me to see how many people put more effort and planning into buying an outfit or a night out than they do their own healing. Now mind you it’s not everyone… I’m talking about the people who make excuses or think that they are fine the way they are.

For examples:

The people who suffer with allergies (they can barely breath) and say it’s only congestion or I always get bronchitis 2x a year or I’ll always feel this way… my mother, sister, aunts all had it and it’s my cross to bear… You cannot understand or believe that healing is really possible. I know personally and professionally that there is effective ways to bump up your healing. You can feel better, live longer and be at peace. Because of that knowing I have a hard time understanding why someone wouldn’t want to feel good instead of mediocre to poor on a daily basis.

Excuses are:

1. A cover-up for REBELLION

2. Nails THAT BUILD A HOUSE OF FAILURE….

I’m not just talking about something I know nothing about… Many years ago I was bedridden and feeling a little jumbled and scared. Especially when doctors told me that I wouldn’t get any better. Fortunately for me I don’t believe just because people think they know the truth that they really do. So I questioned their outcome and prayed. Then I was led on an incredible healing journey that changed my body, my mind and spirit. I learned that there is not one physical ailment that does not stem from an emotional source and complete healing encompasses body and emotions.

By not addressing Emotional Damage you can bring about:

1. Back pain

2. Change in appetite

3. Dry mouth

4. Fatigue

5. Sexual problems

6. Chest pain

7. Constipation or diarrhea

8. Headaches

9. Hi-blood pressure

10. Shortness of breath

11. Dry mouth

12. Insomnia

13. Palpitations

14. Upset stomach

15. Weight gain or loss

16. Lightheadedness

17. Poor immune system

While you’re on a path of healing physically it behooves you to acknowledge your emotions and not go live in Denial. I see Denial as a blue, flowing river with the smell of jasmine and vanilla floating in the air. It is a great place to visit but it can hurt you if you stay there too long. After a while the crocodiles come out and want to feast on your body.

      If you ever asked yourself:

• Why am l exhausted all the time
• Why do I look older than my older friends
• Why do I ache all the time
• Why am I depressed
• Why does my stomach hurt after I eat
• Why do I feel like crying every day
• Why am I so unhappy
• Am I always going to be this way

This probably means you need a little help. Making some changes like eating healthier, sleeping well and taking supplements are a good idea. This would be a good beginning to your feeling better.
HOWEVER, If you think opening a can of veggies to add to your dinner… or sleeping 4 hours a night or sleeping more and getting up 8 times a night or taking drugstore vitamins are healthy … you might want to step back and reconsider those beliefs.

If you want to change your situation you need to practice the P’s

PLANNING

PARTICIPATION

PATIENCE

PERSISTENCE

PRAYER

If there is a problem you need a plan to work through it. Then you need to participate in the plan… NOT just think it over and forget about it. Then the harder parts are being Patient with yourself and being Persistent. Prayer puts a miracle growth towards your path and helps you discover peace (yet another P).

My parting words to you are this… Wherever you are in life, IF you are not satisfied, you can change your situation with the 5P’s and REMEMBER God has not given you a spirit of fear but of power, love and of a sound mind.

Blessings,
Deborah
