New Year’s Resolution

Paleo diet recipes | Paleo Recipes | FacebookIt is coming time to start making our New Year’s Resolution. Every year, we make promises to ourselves like to Eat Nourishing food all year, go on a diet, lose twenty pounds, or read through the entire bible. Year after year we start those resolutions at full speed. We work hard to accomplish them. Every day we get up and eat right, exercise, read our Bible, or whatever we are going to do and we do it. We think this year, I am actually going to make. I am actually going to make these changes in my life for the whole year.

After about a week of loyalty to our goal, we begin to reason with ourselves why it was o.k. To skip just this one day. Then we feel guilty for slipping up and we try again. Eventually we get to the point where there is no more reasoning with ourselves, there is no more feeling guilty, there is no more using gaps diet recipes, no more dieting, no more reading through the Bible, and no longer a New Year’s Resolution. This process continues year after year. We try to change then we go back into our same old ritualistic routines.

I find that every year I want to get through the entire Bible just like I would read a book, but with the pressures of parenthood, the responsibilities of a wife, and the obligations of work, I just give up. Why do we do this? Well the main reason is that we don’t set small goals for ourselves. We try to accomplish this huge goal and we overwhelm ourselves. Instead we need to make a short term goal like I’m going to exercise once a week instead of everyday, or I’m going to read through half the Bible in a year instead of all of it. If we start with smaller goals, we will be able to accomplish them much easier.

Making Fondant with Marshmallows

The most popular fondant recipe probably includes using marshmallows to make it. I have made fondant several times and have always used marshmallows because it is the most tasty way to do it in my opinion. Some people choose to make it without marshmallow but I would not eat it without because I do not think it would be tasty. I actually prefer buttercream but for my daughter’s cake I used fondant cut outs to decorate the cake and needed a fondant recipe.

The most basic recipe would include marshmallows, shortening, water, powdered or confectioners sugar, and a food coloring gel or chocolate if you want black fondant. Coloring fondant is very easy to do. It is recommended to only use icing gel not food coloring because the fondant needs the gel to make the best color.

My Best Collection of Super Greens in a Juicer

I especially like juicing different leafy greens. But, I didn’t get used to it that quickly; in fact, I hated the taste of it, really! I was a big fan of different fruit juice recipes though. I changed my mind setting when I have read of how much potent a 100 ml of leafy greens are compared to the usual 220 or 240 ml of fruit juices. I was just like, hey, although it doesn’t taste that good, I will get used to it. True enough, the chlorophyll content alone of the different leafy greens caused me to be more energized and capable of living the good life. I was also almost shielded from the common colds, cough, and flu during the monsoon season. It was just great, when I have cough or fever, I just double or even triple my usual intake of spinach, kale, red chard, wheatgrass, and cucumber and I am cured of my cough, colds, or fever in less than 24 hours!
