Maintaining Optimum Health

The Body is an amazing machine, with the

ability to heal. The body heals itself day after day, and when it needs help to do its job it signals for help in the form

of pain. Too often, however, we ignore that signal and push on either by taking pills or ignoring the pain until it

succombs to our mal treatment.

Look at it this way, when any other machine signals that all is not well, for the most part we listen and do some

something to correct the situation. For example, when your oil light comes on in your car

most people within the hour will go and have the problem fixed. On the other hand, if you get pain , your bodies

signal that something is wrong, most people ignore it, or mask it by taking a pill. Once the symptom is masked we

forget about it until it returns. Learn how to listen to your body when it talks to you, Pay attention to your pain and

do something right away to fix the cause of your problem.

It's whats for dinner tonight!

Chicken Ceasar Salad Burrito This is a quick and easy weeknight meal your whole family will like. First you need to grill chicken breasts. I do this on my inside stovetop griddle. Second you need Ceasar Salad. You can buy the bag of ready to go caesar salad, or as in my case use fresh romaine lettuce with a bottled Ceasar Dressing with your favorite croutons. I used white flour tortillas from Trader Joes, (my family prefers them to the whole wheat), use what your family likes. Layer the Ceasar Salad in the tortilla, top with sliced chicken breast. Roll the tortilla around the salad and chicken. Enjoy! My daughter calls these green burritos.

The Best Kitchen Tool!!

I Love this kitchen tool. I use mine for making smoothies to blending soups. I used to pull out my big blender for making smoothies, and it was such a pain. One day my blender broke and my sister said, why are you using a blender it is so much easier with a hand blender." She was right I never have replaced my blender, I use this hand blender for everything. Just put all your ingredients in a glass for a single serving ,or a pitcher for multiple servings, and blend away using the easy Smart Stick hand blender. My Green Smoothie recipe...even your kids will love 1 banana, cut into chunks 1 handful of frozen berries , your choice 1/12 cups of fresh spinach 1/2 cup of organic plain yogurt splash of water Place all ingredients in a glass and blend with your hand blender. Quick and easy. Experiment with different fruit combinations. Enjoy!
