Simple Fall Breakfast Recipe

Hi Lovely!

Breakfast is the foundation of your day, so that means that you want to start out the day with something that is great for the immune system. I generally use Organic products when I can get them, since they have are best quality food. Here's one of my fun breakfast ideas which takes no time to make yet contains lots of antioxidants and active cultures (probiotics). Plus, it tastes amazing!

First I pour some Kefir  into a glass and add a handful of blueberries and half a banana, sliced. Plain is the best flavor to get as there are no added artificial sugars. (Click here for great Kefir options)

If you want some added sweet flavor, you can add 1 or 2 dried prunes (plums). It is great for alleviating constipation and it just tastes like a candy bar! 

Then I make 1 or 2 eggs (cooked for 5 min) and eat them with a tiny bit of REAL butter (Click here for places to buy Real Irish Butter) and a 1/4 or less of a teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt. (Click here for places to buy Celtic Salt)

Enjoy :)

Blueberries on a roll, take some daily in a bowl!

Blueberries are a delicious fruit. They can be sweet or sour, eaten for breakfast, or in your protein smoothie. There are multiple ways to get that exquisite taste onto our taste buds. In addition, while we may appreciate blueberries as just a flavor, there are many beneficial qualities to eating them daily.

 Firstly, Blueberries are berries which are high in antioxidants. Also, they have high levels of Vitamin C, great for the aid in our overall digestion. Blueberries are rich in fiber and contain a vast majority of potency for the common cold. The antioxidants within the blueberries make our overall immune systems stronger. They inhibit viral as well as bacterial infections. Whether you eat a handful of these luscious berries or a cup full, they are low in calories, so you can eat more of them with an appreciated sense of taste.

Surprisingly to some, blueberries promote the health of urinary tracts. They are cleansing in this form, providing inner wall lining of the urinary tract with protection and nutrients. In this case, the blueberries have the potential to minimize the bacteria from forming in these hollow canals. In addition, blueberries  contain anthocyanosides, the compound that was found to inhibit visual loss. This is great news, as you are giving your eyes healing nutrients as well as your overall body. The brain health is also included in this compound. Blueberries help with keeping that sharp memory, so grab a couple handfuls of blueberries a day. On another note, blueberries reduce the belly fat, which is always good for one to hear who is health conscious and weight conscious. Because of the low calories, blueberries do not encourage belly fat to arise, but on the contrary, keep our weight at bay.

Another great mention of blueberries enhances our overall temperaments. When we become sad or depressed, take a handful of blueberries and watch as your mood becomes more positive. So keep blueberries in your daily regimen and enjoy them as a basic snack category as well!

Pizza time

Ordering pizza doesn't happen too often, but once in a while, go ahead and indulge the delicious scents and tastes that pizza evokes! Especially when its winter times, you want to warm up with the pizza flavoring.  You can even add fresh mozzarella to your pizza and some fresh steamed vegetables if you want to incorporate the healthy balanced portion for yourself and your kids. You can mix and match, so enjoy your healthy version of the pizza you feel is best for you!My personal favorite is to eat pizza with olives, garlic, steamed broccoli, and homemade apple juice.

Or you could always add some Pomegranate juice or Carbonated water which is nice and refreshing, depending on your taste pallet!

Today's dinner consists of some yummy homemade chicken cutlets; you can add a touch of turmeric root and cayenne pepper if you wish!

For dessert, my daddy loves eating mixed fruit, so here's a glimpse of the scrumptious blended berry salad

Mind & Heart Dualism❤

There always seems to be a conflict regarding which path to choose. This preemptive phase or occurrence well before we are all mature adults evokes our most intense questioning. There is no definite answer. It is all relative. Through experience and learned moments, the right choice to each of us, individuality, will easily come. With that, comes time.
