What I Had for Dinner-Homemade Pizza

Homemade pizza's on homemade whole wheat bread, and sauteed green beans.

This is a great dish when you don't have a lot of time, AND everyone gets to put what they want on their own pizza. Kids really like helping with this one.

I like artichoke hearts, olives, onions, red bell pepper, jalapeno's and cheese. I don't use pizza sauce on mine, I prefer just a little smear of good quality mayonnaise. You could also use butter or olive oil if you don't want to use mayo.

For traditional pizza sauce I just use tomato paste. Add a little garlic, italian seasonings, water and sea salt.

Top it all off with fresh grated parmesan cheese, and you are in pizza heaven!!

What I Had for Dinner-Beef & Roasted White and Sweet Potatoes

Beef Rib Steaks, broccolli, roasted thyme and rosemary potatoes, and roasted sweet potoatoes.

Oh.....and if you came to my class you will know why sweet potatoes are good for you:)

What I Had For Dinner-Italian Pasta and Sausage

I am creating a new topic list. I am going to post as often as possible (with pictures) what I had for dinner. Hope you like it.

This is the first entry. I call it Italian Pasta and Sausage, you can call it YUMMY!

The parmesan cheese looks weird in this picture, once it hit the hot pasta it got white spots on it. It's not mold!!

The sausage I use is from Harmons, they make their own sausage without any MSG or preservatives, and this one (Garlic Chicken) is made out of chicken not pork. I am not a pork fan.

The sky's the limit as far as what you want to put into this dish. I always put garlic, fresh or canned tomatoes, and fresh basil. Then the rest depends on what's in the fridge. Fresh spinach, artichoke hearts, green beans, zucchinni, red bell pepper, fresh mozzarella, etc etc. Served over whole grain pasta. I prefer whole wheat semolina, I don't really like whole wheat pasta. They taste VERY different to me. But then again I think I have turned into a food snob. Sorry!

We also had a green salad with a VERY simple balsamic dressing.

Balsamic Vinegar (good quality)

Extra-virgin olive oil

A little raw honey

Fresh-ground black pepper

Sea salt

Delicious!! Oh Ya, the Italian Pasta and Sausage recipe is in my book if you are interested.

Thanks to all my customers

I just want to thank all of you who came to my class on Feb 4th. It is fun to see the same people coming back again. I really hope you are all getting what you need from the classes. Do not be afraid to email me with questions or requests. I will help where I can.

THANK YOU!!

My Soul Purpose Mission Statement

I went to a 3 day workshop/seminar a couple of weeks ago and I now have a mission statement, for myself and my business. Which essentially is the same thing I guess.

I think it important that all people create a mission statement for their own lives, businesses do it, and companies do it, so why shouldn't we? It will really add focus and direction in your life and make what you are doing so much more meaningful. It has always been really important to me to live my life with purpose. I have now clarified what my purpose is-- at this time in my life anyway.

The cool thing about "the way" that we learned to find our purpose in life at this workshop is we can always go back and "morph" it into wherever we are in life. AMAZING!!

Here is my "soul-purpose mission statement."

"As I walk with Christ, as a luminary, I stand in humility and confidence in helping others to awaken the vitality their souls already possess."

I would like to explain this a little.
"As I walk with Christ"--is pretty self explanatory. I want to live my life as Christ would have me, and I know that I need His help along the way. The visual I have of this (in my head) is walking hand in hand with our Savior.
"--as a luminary"-- I found the word luminary under 'leader' in the dictionary. I look at myself as more of a 'teacher' or 'guide.' AND I want the 'light of Christ' in me as I do this.
"--I stand in humility and confidence"--I need to stay humble, willing to learn as well as teach, and I could always use a little more confidence. Not only in myself but in the Lord and what He can do.
"--helping others to awaken the vitality their souls already possess."-- I want to help others to wake up, both physically and spiritually. I believe that all people have the ability to heal either body and/or spirit in some way. Somewhere inside of each one of us we already possess good physical and spiritual health, vitality! exuberance! My job is to somehow help you find it!

Asian Salad and Dressing

This is one of the things we had for dinner. It turned out really good and has very simple ingredients. We had Ham Fried Rice with it, only it didn't have ham or rice. Just kidding, it did have rice, but no ham. I had a little bit of natural bacon that I put in just for the flavor. We don't eat pork much. A strange thing happened to me after I became healthy, I started craving green vegetables. Seriously if I don't have green vegetables with my dinner I feel totally ripped off! I was not like that before.

*This is not in my book.

Asian Salad and Dressing

1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp Tamari sauce
¼ tsp fresh ginger, minced
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp raw honey
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Sea salt to taste

Mix the vinegar, Tamari sauce and the honey together until the honey dissolves. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Pour over 4 cups fresh baby spinach, mix and serve.

Kudo's to Tanner

I have to brag a little bit for just a minute. Tanner my 14 year old got an award from school in the mail last week.

They did Iowa Tests at school and Tanner placed in the top 10% in the NATION in 4 categories!! Reading--Science--Social Studies--Total Composite

Way to go Tanner you're awesome! Could you please just start taking some business classes to help me out a little?? Oh and by the way he is not too bad in math either, I stopped being able to help him with his math in about 4th grade. I don't do math, I cook, remember!
