Crazy Sexy Kitchen | Book Review

With the year ending and a new one approaching, of course New Years resolutions are on everyone's mind.  Most of the resolutions are to build a new and better self.  Where else to start than with what you are using to fuel your body.

A wonderful new way of eating that you should consider is a plant based diet.  In Kris Carr's new book Crazy Sexy Kitchen she shows how a plant based diet looks now.  New and improved!  We used to think of vegetarian food as boring and bland or tasting like cardboard and plain tofu but, Carr shows us how a diet based off of plants can be fun, flavor full, and let's not forget, healthy!!!

The book itself is split into courses.  Who doesn't love a cookbook that is broken into courses instead of chapters.  So fun!  The first few courses of the book are all about prepping for a new way of living.  Carr gives you all the information  and tools that you need to live a wonderful healthy life.

The fourth course of this book is where all the nourishment lies.  Amazing recipes that hold a wealth of vitamins and minerals that will feed the body without weighing it down.  These recipes are like hitting a reset button in your system.  You will detox yourself of all the extra unwanted chemicals that are added to the processed food and meat that we eat and fill yourself with building blocks of good nutrition.

Carr even has menus all planned out for special occasions.

I have to say that of all the gorgeous recipes that are included the juice and smoothie ones are my favorite.  When looking at some of the ingredients that are included in each recipe there are a few that might be hard to find but, if you have a Whole Foods type of store it shouldn't be too difficult to get a hold of them.

So....what are you waiting for?  You know your resolution is to lose weight or get healthier....Make the right changes in this coming year and go get this book.

Your body will thank you!!!

25 Days of Christmas | Day 15

I know that I have gotten behind.  There have been many things that have taken my attention away from this blog but, hopefully, they are past.  So...since I am 5 days behind I will extend my Days of Christmas for 5 days.  I don't want to bombard you with 5 new songs right now since that would be overwhelming.

Enjoy!!!

God Bless The Little Children 12-14-2012

In light of the Connecticut Elementary school shooting (hours ago) I wanted to ask that everyone that sees this post or is a regular reader of my blog to please pray for the families that were affected.

So hug your loved ones tight and let everyone that you love know that you love them.   You never know what can happen.  Those families didn't know that when they sent their children to school that they might not be coming home.

We take way to much for granted and it needs to be changed.

True Woman 101 Divine Design | Book Review

The next best makeover…

That’s what we are all really wanting right?  We love the new shoes, clothes, makeup and we can’t forget the new haircut.  A day of pampering and feelings of newness.

Of course you can makeover the external you all you want but, what about the internal you?  What about the part of you that no one will ever see?  Or is that really the case…  The Lord sees everything that goes on inside of us.  Our thoughts, feeling, and true passions.  So…is it time for an internal makeover?

Of course it is but, a makeover from a bible study???

True Woman 101-Divine Design by Mary A. Kassian and Nancy Leigh Demoss is the place to start if you are wanting a makeover that no stylist, except for the divine stylist-God, can ever give you.  

Divine Design is an eight week study on what TRUE biblical womanhood is all about.  Take all of what you think you might know about living a truly biblical life or being a true biblical woman and throw it out the window.  Living a biblical life doesn't mean being a doormat like some might think. It's about showing the world the glory of God as He lives within you.

Each of the eight weeks is broken down into an introduction, 5 days of studies with wonderful thought provoking questions, and a review of the week that has additional questions, URL for the accompanying videos and a journal page for you to ponder your thoughts.

True Woman 101-Divine Design is a full colored text book for a brand new you.  This book is definitely a course on being a biblical woman but, in a whole new way.  This is one feminist movement that I am happy to support.  You don’t have to have a man’s job or do things better than a man to feel like a true woman.  All you need to do is read this book and find out what it’s really like to be a truly biblical woman.

Are you going to take the course with me?  Get the book and get ready to start a brand new life.  

~This book is an amazing study for your church or bible study group but, it’s also wonderful all by yourself.~
