I was totally dreaming about Xylitol Sweetener last night. How weird?!??! I don't know who dreams about All Natural Sugar Subsitute, but I do. I suppose I am glad that I do. I am so excited about using Xylitol. I have been using it for about 4 months now. There is such a comforting feeling knowing that I am not loading my kids full of unhealthy chemicals that are hard for their little bodies to process. Plus because of the molecular difference between Xylitol and Sugar there are many health benefits of using it. Right on the package it says, "Xylitol is a proven cavity fighter. There are 40% fewer calories than sugar. Xylitol is good news for diabetics. As crazy as it sounds it helps reduce middle ear infections. If you decide to subsitute Xylitol into your diet know that it can take the place the place of sugar in equal amounts. Check it out when you get a chance. . .you'll love this stuff. :)

I think about it!
Kids say the funniest things. . . .whenever Max says something clever I ask him where he got it and he says, "OH, I just think about it." Love that kid. So here is a little something I just "Think about!" It really is so yummy and it doesn't have a clever name or precise measurements. I just throw it all together in a frying pan and it tastes yummy everytime.
Coconut Oil
Chicken
Mushrooms
All colors of bell peppers
Celery
Season Salt
Sometimes I will add black beans, or sweet potatoe, or zuchinnie. Really anything healthy in the frig will taste yummy. I think it is the coconut oil. I just love it! Happy cooking. :)

The Ultimate Protein Shake
After a real good workout I think I could eat my entire house down. Even with some so~so workouts I could still eat down my house. I just feel hungry ~ really really hungry. With this shake it seems to satisfy my hunger and it is pretty yummy. In the Oxygen magazine, The Ultimate Protein Shake is recommended as a breakfast or after your morning workout.
1 cup 1% or nonfat plain Kefir
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1 small banana
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4 mint leaves
1 tsp ground flaxseed
1. In a blender, combine kefir, protein powder, fruit and vanilla extract and blend until smooth.
2. Next add mint leaves and flaxseed and blend again.
3. If thinner consistency is desired, add a splash of skim milk or water and blend for 10 more seconds.
