A RAINBOW A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY

Book Review

 

On January the 21^st, I had my very first book review at Oasis Cloud.  I would like to take the moment to thank Duane and Mary Ann for allowing to share my passion with the community.  The luncheon was a success, I enjoyed the group of people that came for they all had an open mind and allowed me to talk about other options that are out there regarding cancer and how to manage it.  It’s all about your lifestyle and how to gain knowledge.  Education is power!!!!!

 

I was overwhelmed with joy for the audience got involved and asked a lot of questions, which made my standing in front of them much easier.

Thanks go out to the person that introduced me, my husband and soul mate.  What better person to open up my book review then with the person that knows me inside and out. 

 

I would also like to thank Emma for reading a part from the book that my daughter wrote.  I wanted a child of a parent to read this so as to show the feelings of what a mother and daughter goes through when coping with cancer.  Also, thank her parents Mark and Renee for their support along with Mike.

 

Overall I felt very humbled to be able to tell my experience and all about Functional Medicine. 

Enjoy the pictures that Dan took that day.….

She Fills Old Jars with Fruit and Oil. Minutes Later! I’m Never Baking Again! – 59 Seconds Video Recipe

http://www.healthandlovepage.com/fruit-and-oil-59-seconds-video-recipe/

Have you ever tried to bake something in a canning jar? No? I thought so! Look at CHOW – how she found a way to change baking forever.

In my opinion, it is better to use coconut or chia flour instead of white flour in order to avoid eggs. Furthermore, I would replace the sugar with honey and in addition, I would use coconut oil or grass-fed butter and top everything off with homemade coconut cream. As you can see with few modifications, you can make a much healthier recipe.

This is what CHOW says – Take 2 ½ cups of fresh seasonal fruit. Place the fruit in four ½-pint canning jars. Mix ½ cup of sugar, ½ of flour and ½ teaspoon of salt. Use a fork to mix them well and pour the mixture on the fruit. Finally, use some butter on top of it.

When the jars are filled with the mixture, place them in a square baking dish. It is a good idea to put some dried beans inside the baking dish to provide better stability. Bake the mixture at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Once you are finished wait until the jars cool down.

Some people like this recipe better with a little whipped cream on top. This delicious food lasts for one week if it is kept in the fridge. You can use these jars as gifts or take them on your trip in the nature.

MEALS

Breakfast is the first meal taken after rising from a night's sleep, most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day's work. Commonly people of American culture refer to it as "the best meal of the day." Among English speakers, "breakfast" can be used to refer to this meal or to refer to a meal composed of traditional breakfast foods (such as eggs, oatmeal and sausage) served at any time of day. The word literally refers to breaking the fasting period of the prior night. It has its origin in the Judeo-Christian custom of fasting from food between the supper meal of one day and receiving Holy Communion the following morning (such a Eucharistic fast is still observed but is shortened to one hour before Mass). Foregoing the natural craving to eat was seen as an act of self-denial that honors God, while strengthening the religious resolve and faith of the believer.

Breakfast foods vary widely from place to place, but often include a carbohydrate such as grains or cereals, fruit and/or vegetables, a protein food such as eggs, meat or fish, and a beverage such as tea, coffee, milk or fruit juice. Coffee, milk, tea, juice, breakfast cereals, pancakes, waffles, sausages, French toast, bacon, sweetened breads, fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs, mushrooms, baked beans, muffins, crumpets and toast with butter or margarine and/or jam or marmalade are common examples of Western breakfast foods, though a large range of preparations and ingredients are associated with breakfast globally.

Lunch is a midday meal of varying size depending on the culture. The origin of the words lunch and luncheon relate to a small meal originally eaten at any time of the day or night, but during the 20th century gradually focused toward a small or mid-sized meal eaten at midday. Lunch is the second meal of the day after breakfast.


　
A snack is a portion of food often smaller than a regular meal, generally eaten between meals. Snacks come in a variety of forms including packaged and processed foods and items made from fresh ingredients at home.

Traditionally, snacks are prepared from ingredients commonly available in the home. Often leftovers, nuts, fruit, and the like are used as snacks. The Dagwood sandwich was originally the humorous result of a cartoon character's desire for large snacks. Beverages, such as coffee, are not generally considered snacks though they may be consumed along with snack foods. A beverage may be considered a snack if it possesses a substantive food item (e.g., strawberries, bananas, kiwis that has been blended to create a smoothie).


Plain snacks like plain cereals, pasta, and vegetables are also mildly popular, and the word snack has often been used to refer to a larger meal involving cooked or leftover items. Six-meal eating is a form of eating that incorporates healthy snacks in between small meals, to stave off hunger and promote weight loss.

Dinner usually refers to the most significant, and important, meal of the day, which can be the noon or the evening meal. However, the term "dinner" can have many different meanings depending on the culture; it may mean a meal of any size eaten at any time of day. Historically, it referred to the first meal of the day, eaten around noon, and is still sometimes used for a noontime meal, particularly if it is a large or main meal. However, the meaning as the evening meal, generally the largest of the day, is becoming standard in most parts of the English-speaking world. The average dinner time in the U.K. for those who call their evening meal dinner has been found to be at 7.47pm.


Of course we are going to exchange some of the foods to a healthier standard for survival of managing cancer or any other illness such as heart or diabetes. I am going to explain the health facts of recipes that are shared on this blog.



Let the fun began, lets start creating some dishes.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

This blog is for mostly cancer patients as well as anyone that has their immune system weakened by illness. I wanted to create a page for one to come to and see that staying healthy is a lifestyle and we can enjoy the foods and our environment around us. Through art you can create your own masterpiece in foods along with managing cancer.

I have created in my mind a place where people can go to read articles of health as well as seeing that you can eat almost anything you have your taste buds fixed on. I have created recipes and took pictures of the dishes to show that it is possible.

For four years I have been educating myself on health and how to keep my body in fabulous condition. Through body, heart and mind I was able to manage my cancer and today I am cancer free. I learned through my program that I received that cancer feeds on processed sugar and wheat. So the first step I took was to go gluten free and eat only natural sugars. The second step was to eat grass fed beef , poultry and wild fish and the last but not least organic foods.

So enjoy and learn for Knowledge is power.
