Listen First

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.  James 1:19 I frequently do the opposite of this verse.  I am often quick to speak and slow to listen.  I was reminded this week of one of my inherit flaws to talk first, …

We are What We Eat!

Transforming Thoughts

Ever hear the saying “Life is 10% what you make it and 90% how you take it”?  I like that phrase, because much of life is “how we take it”-our thoughts and subsequent actions based on said thoughts.  Perception can become reality in our minds. In Paul’s letter to the Romans chapter 12 verse 2 …

Out of my Rut

I’m in a rut. While enjoying some different foods from others helping me out this week, it has made me think of how I get stuck in ruts of eating the same things over and over.

Realizing this rut and then reading cooking magazines and watching foods shows all week, I’ve decided to keep trying some new foods & recipes-want to join me?  Each month I’ll highlight a new recipe (or two) I’ve tried that is healthy and appeals to more than just me-ideally the family. For me it doesn’t work unless there’s some consensus in the family.

We are on a wellness journey together, so let’s keep it healthy and with minimal ingredients!  I love reading cookbooks with intricate recipes, but in reality those occur once or twice a year for me-so simple and healthy is more realistic for everyday.

You have the Wellness Granola and the Wellness Journey Snack Mix recipes, so how about we start with a healthy, simple and interesting entrée?

Submit your recipes or chime in with ideas and next month I’ll highlight one or more that fit into our wellness vibe.  Comment here at the end of the post, email me at jill@memoryminders.net  or join the discussion on Facebook or Twitter.  What fun-each month we’ll get a new recipe (or more depending on how ambitious we all are) to try and keep us out of our ruts!

Today and next Friday I’ll share some little things I’ve changed in my diet. I think these have made a difference in my overall mind and body health:  this week-beverages.
