Springtime!

Forsythia Blossoms

No matter how cold, dreary, or long winter is, Spring ALWAYS follows winter. And for me, forsythia blossoms are cheery, cheery harbingers of Spring. I don’t know why, but I love my forsythia bushes. Below is a photo of my little forsythia babies that was taken six years ago, and a picture of them taken this week.

Juicing


Have you seen Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead?  Australian businessman, Joe Cross, and US Truck Driver Phil Staples reboot their lives by going on a juice fast.  It’s a fascinating, entertaining, enlightening, and inspiring movie.  Do you need to reboot your life?  Check the site.  Not everyone may need to do something as drastic, but a nice glass of fresh vegetable juice is a great supplement to an already healthy diet. I’ll share my recipe below.


Handful of spinach
4 carrots
1 stalk of celery
1 apple
1/2 lemon, peeled
part of a beet

Quick Stove-top Pizza


Start with a whole wheat pita for your crust. Add plain tomato sauce and pizza seasoning. (I use Italian Pizza Seasoning that I buy from Gordon Foods. Please let me know what is your favorite pizza seasoning brand.)

Over the sauce, place whatever pizza veggies you wish. This one is very simple: slices of zucchini. Then top the veggies with your favorite cheese. I’m using Galaxy Nutritional Foods Veggie Shreds.


Then place your pizza in a covered skillet over low heat on the stovetop.


Cook until the crust gets crisp on the bottom and the cheese melts. It doesn’t take very long.

Trumpet Music

Today is my younger son’s birthday. God has gifted him with a musician’s mind and ability and he has chosen to make a career out of playing the trumpet. Happy Birthday, CDA!
