Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... I think this is such a great statement! Often times we live life trying to be like someone else or trying to live up to others standards instead of just enjoying life and being who we were created to be!
Life is Beautiful! What makes your life Beautiful... Your LIFE not someone elses! Today what makes my life beautiful is working till noon, going to the grocery store and then going home to BAKE!!! I love to Bake I love the process, I love experimenting, I love the batter, and I love the final product (most of the time)
Today I am going to try and make a apple cinnamon wheat bread! Sounds Yummo!
I will post the recipe... it will be an experiment for sure!
Life is Beautiful!!! Make your life Beautiful with something to fill your cup to energize you and to give you JOY!

Confidence!
What do you put your confidence in? Great question and I am not sure I know what my answer is...
I know putting my confidence in the Lord is the most valuable and we are called to Fear Not and have confidence! Annie does a great job explaining Godly Confidence in Loving God The Most Her last comment explains the importance of having Godly confidence and Self-Confidence. She says "they go hand in hand"
I know when my confidence isn't going hand in hand with Godly confidence... it is when I begin to believe that God did not create me perfectly. It is when I begin to believe lies that I need to fit a mold or be just like someone else. It is when I begin to listen to media and get too wrapped up in it.
I know I have Godly confidence when my focus is on the Lord. When my focus is on a eternal perspective and when I know I am loved for who I am inside. For who I am and for who God created me to be!
PS... BBQ meatball sammy was a hit... I roasted some Brusselsprouts to go a long with them! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Brusselsprouts!
Hubs and I are planning a House Warming Party and we met with our caterer last night... Food is going to be ROCKIN!!!! We are splitting duties and I cant wait to start our cooking week... Next week!

Whats for Dinner?
I think this is my favorite question to answer! Coming up with healthy food options bring be so much joy! I believe it is a God given passion that I can use to glorify HIM daily! What is a passion of yours? Do you use it to glorify the Lord?
So what is for dinner?
Last night I made Turkey Meat Balls and Black Bean Falafal Balls! Yummy (BB for me, I'm trying to go VEG as much as possible for health reasons)
Basically just added sauteed mushrooms, onion, spinach, and rosemary to each, plus one egg. Formed into balls and baked at 400 for 30 min!
We have a crazy busy week so I plan is to incorporate them into dinner tonight and tomorrow for a fast Yummy meal!
Here are my 3 ways...
Sunday Night: Super Bowl Style... Plain with several dips (mustard, cranberry, tomato, hot sauce)
Monday Night: BBQ open face sandwich on Great Harvest Bread
Tuesday Night: Tomato Rague and quick cooking Polenta
Enjoy your Passion today!

Feel Great Weight and Peace!
This morning I had a great bible study time with my girls learning about Peace of God! Comforting topic!
Over great conversation and study I enjoyed my go to breakfast (Oatmeal, banana, and TJ PB) and a lovely cup of Pikes Place at Starbucks
Peace is a wonderful thing when it comes from God... it surpasses all understanding. For many women Peace is not something we experience when it comes to weight its more of an unjoyful love hate relationship of Good Foods vs Bad Foods. Followed by guilt or temporary pat on the back.
Finding balance in the entire food, weight, body image category is hard... but God can give you the peace and balance that surpasses all understanding... so you reach your Feel Great Weight! Gods Weight he has for you!
It is something to pray about and to ask for understanding. A diet of Peace and Balance will look different for everyone.
For me is eating Natural foods with an occasional celebration feast (not so healthy options) and no guilt but the enjoyment of friends, family, and the situation or celebration!
Enjoy! Find Peace!

Avocado
Today's Main Ingredient is AVOCADO... YUM! I will take you any way! Sliced, Salted, Mashed, Chunky, Smooth!
Avocados are not only one of the healthiest foods you can eat, I personally think they are the yummiest food you can eat!
I am really trying to add more Omega 3 fatty acids to my diet and Avocados are chalked full of them!
Here are reasons why I am eating Avocados, besides the fact that they taste so dare good!
1. Lower Cholesterol
2. Lower risk of Many Cancers
3. Good Source of Potassium
4. Super Food (Real Simple February Issue)
5. 23% of your daily value of folate
6. Help reduce Belly Fat
7. Can reduce heart disease
8. Help Stabilize blood sugars
9. Healthy Skin
10. They taste so YUMMY!
Last night I had sliced avocado and tonight is guacamole! I cant wait....
Dip your Guac with home made baked corn chips
Just cut corn tortilla's into triangles, place on baking sheet, spray with non-stick spray and salt with sea salt. Bake at 400 till crispy!
ENJOY!
