In May of 2010 I got a call from my Dr. which I hardly ever go to see. She informed me that my cholesterol was 300 and my AC1 was 6.3 when it should be 5.6. That makes me a borderline type 2 diabetic. The diabetes statement didn't bother me because I knew I could control it with diet, however the cholesterol shook me up a bit.
My dad passed from an massive heart attack, and my mother had diabetes. To be told at a little over a month after turning 46 and 164 lb at 5'6" I was pretty avg and it could be genetic ticked me off. It was like being told I had no control over what my body decided to do. Bullhocky!
I had looked into living an Alkaline lifestyle a few yrs back when I was selling a product called the Ph Factor. It had to do with weight loss and keeping your body alkaline and disease free. Now I have chosen to take control of my body. So I am sharing my own recipes and more with you my reader. Life doesn't have to be hard unless we wish it to be.
To your health and mine. Enjoy
PS: Since the start of this blog my body has dropped close to 20 lbs and I have gone from a size 12 to a size 8. That is the result of the eating change alone, no additional exercise. Oh and I don't work out lol

I'M Back!!
My deepest apologies to those of you that may have stopped by and noticed that there hasn't been any movement on my blog in quite some time now. I went through a move out of area which had my off balance for a while. But I promise I am back...so without further delay I want to fill you in on some of the new changes.
First I will I find that writing down my recipes like my mom used to is feels better to me than typing. It feels warm and personal like so many recipes should feel. It reminds me of going through my moms old recipes and being able to really see her in them. So I am going to share a part of myself with you by printing out my recipe form and filling it in. Now I know that a few of you might be concerned about the paper waste from the print and scan. No worries I think of that too. But I have decided to create my own personal binder cook book, so each one that is scanned will be going into the binder and not the trash. Ta da no waste, :).
As for being able to read the handwriting you shouldn't have any problems. Even though, as frustrating as it might sound trying to figure out what an ingredient was on an old index card was part of the recipe adventure. "Did I read that right? Well if not I'll have a new recipe won't I, woo hoo" I specifically remember a time when I was making a pumpkin quick bread and thought it said one lg can of pumkin filling not the 1C it called for. It made the best bread pie, lol, just not a great bread. lol.
So welcome to the adventure! :)
