| I got MILK |
I'm in the mood for a snack. . A tasteful nutritious snack. . "Voila".. . here is my twist on the good ole peanut butter and jelly. Let's invite some new members to the mix. Ginger spread made from the stem of Ginger.. 0% Trans fat and Saturated Fat and great tasting. .along comes nutritionally sound Almond Butter who is cholesterol free .. very low in sodium..high in magnesium and manganese (an element of iron FE) a necessity for the cleanliness of the blood.. .These two, Ginger Spread and Almond Butter will join their biggest fan Pumpernickel bread. .Pumpernickel which has 4 to 8 times as much resistant starch as breads made with wheat or barley...resistant starch benefits blood sugar as it does not digest easily ..all to be washed down in the midst of a waterfall of Almond Milk. . .Almond milk being beneficial to the heart, skin and bones Vitamin A for eye health. . .All of which we need to maintain. . .especially the eyes so we can focus and smile at this wonderful picturesque snack we are about to devour with pleasure.

| Collards at Tracies' |
Needed lemons for my hot water and lemon treat. . opens the palate. . Off to the market I go. . Reaching for lemons. . glanced to my right. . There they sat. .looking freshly picked . . all bunched up in bundles. . .I stared and thought. .I'll bring two bundles of you to my humble abode. . journey ending in pot of boiling water seasoned with turmeric and anise seed. . As they boil away...I think of these attractive leaves that contain very good amounts of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber that helps control the bad cholesterol levels (LDL). And thats just one of the benefits.. Collards are rich in invaluable sources of phyto-nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties such as di-indolyl-methane (DIM) and sulforaphane that have proven benefits against prostate, breast, cervical, colon, ovarian cancers by virtue of their cancer cell growth inhibition and cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. With that much said and known as pretty as they look on that plate you're viewing its time to put that prettiness where it counts. .cause we all know what matters most is on the inside..."DIG IN"
