Do You Have Left Over Christmas Cookies?

Well, I do have extra Christmas cookies left over. I think I have over twenty cookies left over. Oh goodness, I did not frost the extra cookies and it has been three and a half weeks now since Christmas Eve. Every time I go into my kitchen, I pass the cookies and say, "I need to frost these cookies or throw them away."

Finally, today I decided to make some frosting with my twins so they can help Mommy frost these cookies. I do not know about you, but I am still recovering from Christmas. My twins birthday was at the beginning of November so I always have a very busy year end..Not only do my twins have a birthday at the end of the year, so does my husband, his sister and myself.

Yeah, you would think my Christmas recovery would be over with, but I slowly recovering and I will be back on track soon.  As for my extra Christmas cookies, I am surprised my twins have not asked why we did not or have not frosted the Christmas cookies yet. Normally, my twins would have no problem asking Mommy for a "sweet" snack or for us to finish frosting these yummy Christmas cookies.

Alright, I have the ingredients needed for the frosting and I will make them red and green...and of course...add the toppings my twins like so much..

Not Only Am I Making Smoothies, I Just Began Juicing

I am reading this one book, The Maker's Diet, and have learned a lot about healing yourself from whatever is ailing you. I mean, I have known about eating good foods and getting rid of junk food, but the way this author talks about getting and staying healthy really  has me excited.

Along with this author, I was watching this documentary called, The Gerson Therapy, and one part of their therapy is drinking, at three times a day, veggie and fruit drinks. Now, it has only taken me almost six years to begin reading this book and when I watching this documentary on healing oneself of cancer and other diseases, I was so excited and decided to do something, be proactive, in healing myself.

If you think your GP or specialist doctor wants to make you better, think again. The specialist doctor I am seeing, he loves prescribing drugs. In fact, not even once did he suggest I make an appointment with a chiropractor, cut out the sweets or begin juicing. From my POV, he is not even looking to heal me, just keep  me pumped on drugs that only take care of the symptoms. What happened to the doctor oath to First do not harm?

From what I have been reading, doctors are not even taught in medical school how to prescribe a homeopathic or organic way to healing oneself from any ailment. I just shake my head in total disgust.

But I digress....

For the past two weeks, I have begun juicing and I love it. The fruits and veggies I have been using for my morning and afternoon drinks have been carrots, apples, spinach, pineapple, kale, celery and peaches. I do not use all these at once, but these are the fruits and veggies have used so far. Maybe I will add some garlic to my juicing too, but not too much!!

For a year now, I have been receiving a newsletter from The Juice Lady, but I do not own her book with recipe's, but Jordan Rubin recommends her.  When you are really in need or healing, going the "traditional" route may not be the only way anymore.

The Only Way is through Jesus Christ and all the fruits and veggies were provided to us, though Him. So, why not use the natural and healing foods He has given us? When you cry out to the Lord for guidance, He will hear you and show you the way you need to go for healing. This process, I know, will not happen instantly, or it may, but the whole point, IMHO, is to trust in the Lord.  

Making Smoothies At Home

This yeas for Christmas, my parents got me a smoothie/blender called the Ninja. This smoothie/blender is exactly that, a Ninja. Not only does it make smoothies, but I can use it to make bread dough, pizza dough, ice cream and smoothies.

My twins love smoothies and when my Mom saw this on QVC, she asked me to look at it online. Well, I loved it. It comes with the 40 oz container/pitcher and three 16 oz smoothie cups. This smoothie/blender also comes with its own recipe book full of ways to eat certain seasonal foods and use the blender. This recipe book also shows me what fruits and veggies to eat for Super foods.

So far, I have made a lot of smoothies, I am even thinking of making a chocolate/peanut butter smoothie. As for ice cream, I have made vanilla and vanilla/chocolate chip ice cream. Next time, I will make vanilla/caramel and vanilla/brownie ice cream.

This smoothie/blender is one of the best ways to begin the year staying healthy. Oh, and I have made delicious salsa. I am a sucker for good salsa..
