A Journey into Thought & Spirit

Summer is officially here. I spent solstice on the beaches of Spain, admiring the Mediterranean Ocean. In a world that seems so ugly, Palma de Mallorca restored my mind, body and soul. The ocean reminded me of how beautiful and amazing life is. More than ever, it is time to channel our thoughts toward the beautiful parts of life.

I made this crisp before flying to Europe. My client training schedule got so intense that I didn't have time to upload it prior to leaving. So if you have rhubarb still at your local markets, I suggest trying this sugar-free crisp.

It's no secret that America is a sugar and salt nation. Now, this is changing world-wide as the rest of the west adopts American habits. But the one quality I love most about Europe is to enjoy treats without overindulging in copious amounts of sugar. Desserts are sweet, some are naturally sweet, but it's nice to enjoy a treat without worrying about your blood sugar levels.

It is my hope with my Mind Body Soul Food blog to inspire people to get back to the basics of cooking and to "retrain" your tongue and palate to enjoy food that is not laden with sugar and salt. This is an important issue as we have now bred a generation of overweight children. 
Picture
For the most part, Europeans are much thinner than Americans. But this is changing. The obesity epidemic is becoming a world-wide problem as more cultures adopt processed and boxed foods. Ironically, we live in a world of starvation and obesity (nutrient deprivation). There must be a balance, and one way to balance this extremism is by cooking in your own home. 

Inspired by the beautiful pink and purple flowers of summer, I hope you enjoy this refined sugar-free dessert to stay healthy and wholesome this summer season.

I'm Angel Castor from the US. White Caucasian Female. I'm 43 years old and I got married at the age of 25, I have only two children and I am living happily.

Five years ago, my husband's behavior became so strange that I didn't really understand what was going on. He packed out of the house to another woman’s house and I love him so much that I
never dream of losing him, I tried my best to make sure that my husband got back to me but all to no avail, I cried and cried seeking help. I discussed it with my best friend Alison and she told me she can help me. She told me of a man called Dr. Odunga, she told me he is a very great man and a real man that can be trusted and there is nothing concerning love and Pregnancy issues he cannot solve and she told me how he has helped her and countless number of people in

restoring their relationship. I quickly contacted his email address at [email protected] I explained all my problems to him, he told me that I should not worry that all my problems will be fine. Presently, I am very happy I got my husband back to me with the help of Dr. Odunga and we are living happily with so much love for each other. What-app message/call him at +2348167159012 to help you
