Kitchen Witch

Exactly, what is a Kitchen Witch?

A Kitchen Witch: is a woman who has placed magick in every aspect of her home, her hearth. She is the Keeper of the Home who ensures it is safe, cleaned of negative energies and it is nurtured on all levels. I choose to post this description because it best describes me and my experiences. In a sense I am more like a Hedge-witch. A Kitchen Witch puts so much energy in her home that most of the time the kitchen becomes the Heart of the Home. I have had people gather in my home and most of the time we gather in the kitchen. We will share a wonderful herbal tea and a cake filled with magickal energy, or a beautiful spring salad with all of the trimmings. We will sit and talk and share so much that time actually fly's away. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Chocolate Dippers

Okay, that is taking it a little overboard, but you get what I mean. I LOVE chocolate!! This is lens 2 of 30 for the challenge I am doing. I know the niche of dipping things into chocolate has been covered and I will post some of those links, but I had to write this page. Do you want to know why? When I was a teenager I had a few different jobs at once (three to be exact) and on the occasion when I could get a day off I would take a little bit of one of my paychecks and go downtown; at that time I was living in Colorado Springs. Even being that young I knew how important it was to treat yourself once in a while, this is how I treated myself: I would go to the Goodwill store and see if they had any ripped jeans that fit me, I would buy them and patch them up. (Yes, my hippie days) Than I would get me some chocolate covered popcorn from a vendor wagon. This was a HUGE treat for me. Nowadays, you see chocolate popcorn everywhere, but not back then. Since I am known for liking different food combinations, I thought I would share of my favorite things dipped in chocolate. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Nutritional Cooking

This is something that I have been very aware of since I was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure. It seems that the biggest majority of people who are diagnosed with HPB also are told that if they lose weight it will increase the chances of lower their Blood Pressure. Losing weight is harder than just a saying it, trying to do it and actually doing it. I do not believe in diets. I am sure there are diets that are affective, and I am sure some people have great results from them. If you do a Google Search on diets there were 22,000,000 results. So out of the 22,000,000 you know people have had to have results! I have often heard that losing weight is more than just losing it, the objective is keeping the weight off. I am a firm believer instead of dieting, people that focus more on changing your eating habit have better over results. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Five Simple Chicken Recipes

Five simple chicken recipes

hate cooking more than anything during the summer time. The weather is hot and when you cook; the stove causes additional heat. Yuck! So what I have done is created a way to take care of a few problems with one handy trick. Bulk cooking my chicken!! From my other lens, I am sure by now the message of me being pretty frugal is nothing new. I watch for sales very closely at our local grocery store. Here in the south we have a store called Ingles, and by me watching their sales, I pretty much have a grasp of the schedule they use for certain sale items such as chicken. I am SO particular about my chicken; I only eat boneless, skinless chicken breast that has not been fed hormones. Tyson is the brand I usually get and when it is on sale, I can spend ten dollars and get five meals from that batch of chicken. So, what I am going to do is list five recipes we eat regularly and how I make cooking dinner fast and easy without adding additional heat to my home and most important the meals are pretty nutritional. The only sodium you will find in my meals is the hidden sodium in foods, but even that is monitored pretty closely. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Believe you can do it and you can. My husband always tells me that once I set my mind to something, I can achieve it. I often think about my "Life Patterns" and in an odd way I agree with him. But for me it a two-fold thing now; I know what I must do, but my "Senior" mind is telling me if I want something then I have earned the years to have it. Of course I am talking about one of my addictions and that is "Sweets". It has been a year now since I was told that I have High Blood Pressure and I needed to lose some weight. I look at this situation, look at the amount of food I eat, and not making any excuses, I really do not eat a lot. BUT what I do is eat the wrong foods and not exercise enough??

One Recipe Several Breads

Since I have to watch my sodium intake, most of my recipes do not contain salt, and I also use No Sodium Baking Powder and Baking Soda that I purchase online at Healthy Heart. With that being said, any of the recipes I have posted can have salt added to the recipe if you would like. http://amplify.com/u/a16h1s
