“It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey…”

As we begin a new year, many of us try to set goals.  The question is whether we can keep them or not.

I’ve had to set many goals as I was faced with the fact that my condition needed to be approached with a multi-disciplinary treatment plan in able to be successful in my healing journey.

It hasn’t been easy to say the least!  Through trial and error, I’ve been able to get back up each time I’ve fallen and continue to remind myself it’s not about the destination; it’s about the journey.

So with that said, I may have fallen many times but by God’s grace and mercy each time I get back up this Fibro Mom is more resolved to keep moving forward!  Fibro does not identify me.  Christ does!

Ready to tackle 2015!

RECOVERY FOOD :-D

Did you know that our island RAW granola is not only considered a yummy on the go snack/breakfast and even light dinner but also a recovery food?

Our bodies need a break once in awhile much like a computer or a car.  If it’s constantly on the go, it will break down and need sometime to heal and recover.

And with the holidays creeping up on us, it is a good move to prepare our bodies by eating recovery foods such as our island RAW granola, for the many holiday festivities we will be attending!  You can even take it a step further by having it in stock as these super foods are able to help us recover anytime throughout the year!

We are currently taking pre-orders on lirios.biz under the Contact Us page while the Order Form in the Store page is in repair.

And we are currently updating our website to add more details on how our island RAW granola is the perfect nutritious yet so delicious handy all-around food!

New Breakfast Bar at Down To Earth in Kapolei

The idea of making a cereal out my island RAW granola came from my customers wanting to use the 3 oz bites as toppings or eat it like a bowl of cereal. I kept hearing over and over again how they wished I had a line of cereal so they don’t have to break up the bites to small pieces!

Thanks to my customers, KILAUEA (Mac Pineapple Coconut) AND WAIANAE (Apple Banana Raisins) were born and is now selling at Down To Earth in Kapolei!

In addition, Down To Earth started a new Breakfast Bar in the Deli Department and we are working on including my island RAW granola cereal in the near future.  And the 2 oz bars and 3 oz bites in the Grab N Go section.

More details to come!

Quick Salad Recipe

Since 2007, I have had to do a complete overhaul on my diet as part of my healing journey.  I basically had to adopt a new lifestyle of eating.  It hasn’t been easy.  As I’ve had to try all kinds!

From The Maker’s Diet to RAW foods to The Colon Diet to Macrobiotics to Nourishing Traditions to Paleo to Mercola Diet to Body Ecology to Blood-Type Diet, and a Partridge in a pear tree!   LOL  ;-D   Got to find some humor in all of this sometimes!

I will be blogging about this in another post.  As I’ve learned the pros and cons, and how all of them have some good in it.  It’s just a matter of finding what works for me. And what will work for you.  As we are all individuals and have different needs.

In the meantime, I want to share this quick salad recipe.  As I’ve had to learn to eat MORE plant based foods with a small amount of animal protein.  And this is a great recipe when you have little time but still need to eat a healthy, nutritious meal.  Anyone can prepare this easy recipe!  It serves one person but you can modify it.

INGREDIENTS

– 5 leaves of chopped organic romaine lettuce
– 1 to 2 medium sized chopped vine ripened tomatoes
– 1/2 of a local cucumber (chopped to your liking)
– 1 whole sliced avocado

– 1 cup of Organic Quinoa & Kale Blend by Good Grains (I got mine at Costco)

Dressing:

– EVOO

– BRAGGS Organic ACV

– Himalayan Sea Salt

– Black Pepper

DIRECTIONS

– Follow directions on the bag of the Organic Quinoa & Kale Blend.  You can also prep this ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

– Place the veggies in a good size personal bowl.  According to the order listed.  Topped with sliced avocado.

– Add the cup of Q & K Blend (optional:  place in a small ramekin or small bowl to create a smooth shape)

– Mix the dressing in a bowl.  Drizzle over the salad.

And VOILA!

You’ve got yourself a hearty & nutritious lunch.  And packed with Omega 3’s and Omega 6’s fatty acids.  We need a good balance of these two healthy fatty acids to avoid disease and simply keep us functioning!

Bon Appetit!  😉
