Do not reward yourself with food...your not a dog

Have you ever baked a beet?

My daughter mentioned they had been adding more vegetables
to their diet, they baked beets just like a potato.

We did it...
Wrapped it in foil, and when done added coconut butter
and blood orange balsamic vinegar (must try it).

Beets help clean the fats from your liver and cleanse your blood.

Contain Betaine and Betacyanin: has anti-inflammatory and
anti-cancer properties.
Vitamin B & C and lots of minerals:
Potassium, iron, thyroxin: main hormone for thyroid,
Magnesium, and controls blood sugar.
Low in fat and good for the cardiovascular system.

They are sweet, don't overdo if your diabetic,
and if your prone to kidney stones.

Our goal for now is at least ONE BEET a week.

On a PBS show Dr. Furhman's "the immunity solution"
he said there are three foods to eat everyday.
1.beans
                2.dark leafy greens
        3.mushrooms

we are trying


now adding mushrooms to our diet this year.
goal: One big package a week.
I am going to do a whole post on Mushrooms soon.
Mushrooms are cute, but I've never gone out of my way to eat many.

Eat healthy.

Build your immune system every meal.

To have a healthy immune system you must get rid of
INFLAMMATION in your body which causes disease
and chronic disease.

oh CHOCOLATE...where art thou?


8" snow and still coming down.
8 hours of snow just today,
have we not been punished enough?

What I wouldn't give for THIS right now...
my two favorite things!

my veggie crisp garden snacks
just aren't doing it.
I'm trying to be good.
I'll even go make a green smoothie
and see if this chocolate craving will leave.

even healthy chocolate
would do.





I'm pretty sure my husband will be snowed in at his job.
Good thing there are lazy boys, mattresses, couches,
and I'll bet they could find a HOT DOG somewhere!

oh wait, he made it home!

I refrained...
only because I didn't want to bake,
needed to stay focused in my workroom.
darn pinterest and their chocolate photo's!

SNOW DAY... CLOSED...clean out your refrigerator

Isn't this about day 64 in a row with
Utah snow this year?
We felt it wasn't safe to drive to the shop today
so we will be CLOSED.

MONDAY we will be open

Pretty sure I'll be back to blog more
this weekend.
keep warm and dry,
stay off the roads and be safe.

Joni will be Spring Creating while at home
I will be diving into alot of our "JUNK"
which isn't really junk.
To bring in soon.
