11/8/2019

Yes the ROCKIT apples are back this season in North Carolina!
Perfect snacking size apple about the size of a golf ball. Perfect for kids lunches. Perfect for adult snacking. Non-GMO, always sweet and crisp. Loose weight, feel great, get more fiber, tame your sweet tooth.
Every time I eat one ( or two) or pack it for my kids, I remember the old Lay's potato chips commercial and think "bet you can't eat just one"

Super Easy Vegan Peach Cobbler

7/25/2019

Here is super easy peach cobbler recipe. With peaches in season it is a perfect time to make this simple dish. I tried a variety of vegan “butter” products for peach cobbler. I recently found the Plant Butter (olive oil) by Country Crock for baking. I found them easily in my local Food Lion and Harris Teeter stores.

I want to offer a special thank you to all my taste testers: Aunt Ann, my church family and my work mates for your honest feedback and for scraping every last morsel from my dish to make cleaning easier.

Ingredients
4 cups sliced peaches FRESH or FROZEN
¾ cups sugar or peaches (cane, organic, or coconut sugar work well)
Crust
2 cups Coconut Milk- canned full fat * See notes below
2 cups unbleached flour (King Arthur’s or Bob’s Red Mill)
¾ cups sugar for crust
~1/4 TSP EXTRA FINE GROUND Himalayan pink salt
3 TSP Aluminum-free Baking powder
1 and ½ sticks Country Crock Plant Based sticks- Olive Oil
10x13 inch glass dish

*I use Sprouts canned unsweetened coconut milk. Pour “milk” in dish then add water to can and mix. This gives the perfect consistency for baking

Place 1 and ½ sticks in the dish and place in preheated oven oven to melt
If using frozen peaches allow to thaw. Slice any too large pieces so all peach pieces are uniform in thickness
Add ¾ cup sugar to peaches and stir. Set aside while crust is completed
Next, mix flour, baking soda, salt and ¾ cup sugar. Blend well with hand mixer or whisk
Using a potholder, remove baking dish from oven and pour the crust mixture on top. Smooth using a spatula to evenly distribute
Place peaches on top of the crust mixture evenly spaced.
Bake at 375°F for 55-65 minutes, depending on your preference
Hold yourself back from eating it while it is still too hot.
It is best served warm. If you prefer add a side of NadaMoo! organic vegan Vanilla Ahh!.

Life-Flo Magnesium Lotion for pan relief

Amazing Magnesium Chloride lotion for pain relief

9/25/2018

September is national pain awareness month. In this month I found a "miracle" like product that helped my SEVERE ankle and knee tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. Life-Flo Magnesium lotion is a Godsend. It has a light vanilla (essential oil) scent and simple natural ingredients. I have multiple chemical sensitivity and have no negative reactions from its use; only blessed pain relief. It has changed my life and now I am walking without pain and without the need for NSAIDS or other pain relievers. It is made with magnesium chloride which has better skin absorption than magnesium sulfate (aka Epsom salts). I found the best price on amazon.com. You may also try your local natural/health foods market.
You will not regret this purchase. If you know anyone with chronic joint pain, tendonitis or painful legs at night, this makes a great gift of love anytime. I believe God led me to try this product and now I am sharing this information with everyone I meet. Those of you you who know me personally know I am willing to try things if the science is good, and it is for this product.
