a dream come true

cody is my little chef! he is the one who is always helping in the kitchen and watching cooking shows with me. if you ever see him in the store he'll be the one reading the labels and checking its nutrional value. So i decided to take him to the taste of home cooking show with me this year and his dream came true that night. he got to be on stage and help with one of the cooking demonstrations and even be on t.v. live! On Vernals own channel 6! he was so excited he could hardly keep it in! he took notes through almost the whole show. that next morning i woke up to him in the kitchen with his apron on(he got it for helping out) ready to cook! he made dinner that night . (he made the list of groceries he needed and went shopping ,all with his apron on-just in case someone recognized him and wanted an autograph) he took his apron to school and told the class about his great night out and this week he is making Tuscan Tomatoe Tart! GO CHEF CODY!!!!

bad soy bad

alert! if you are consuming soy on a regular basis stop! soy is an estrogen mimicker(probably spelt wrong). it will throw your thyroid out of wack. it can be put on an ingredient label as vegetable oil so you don't always know if you are consuming it. but you should eliminate it as much as possible. their is a book called something like, the deceptions of soy. i have hoshimottos thyroditis which started out as a slightly low thyroid(which is very common among women) due to a extreme amount of strees it developed into hoshimottos. (which is an enlarged thyroid) i am one of a lucky few who has not needed to have it removed or that does not need medicine for it. but the main food that i have to illiminate is SOY ! "bad soy bad!"

fallin' for fall

fall is the best time of year! i get to decorate my house with oranges and purples and add some color to my varing shades of brown. Brown is such a safe color and goes with everything plus it is warm and inviting . so who can blame me for having so much of it. oh and another safe color green! hands up if your house consists of browns or greens! thought so. i actually wanted to paint something rust in my house and i think dewey will let me paint the laundry room a color called autumn leaves. if i don't talk myself out of it and go with a brown or green then i will prove... something. maybe that i can step out of my comfort zone.my mood always perks up when their is a cool breeze where a warm breeze is usually expected. the corn maze opens up in a couple of weeks. always go to that. even if i know that we will be in their twice as long as everyone else. once i went with a friend of mine and i know if she hadn't been there the boys and i would have spent the night with hopes that a search and rescue memeber(not team mind you) would find us-(probably two turns away from the exit. ) enjoy the weather while it last!
