book review: Heaven Is So Real

Heaven is so real!i have a feeling that i'm going to read more books in 2011 than i have in any other year. for starters, my husband and i decided to give up tv for the month of january...welll except for the real houswives. hahaha! but we couldn't quite the tube cold turkey. so anyways, i already finished my first book of the new year! i started reading it the day after new years and i finished it in a week and a half. with that, i would like to give you a review of all the books i read. my two favorite subjects to read about are nutrition and christian spirituality. so take what resounds with you....and leave the rest for someone else;)


Heaven Is So Real by Choo Thomas was the perfect way to start my new year! I was captivated by her detailed story of being face to face with Jesus on numerous occasions. She detailed the accounts of the visions He showed her, the words He spoke to her and the places He showed her in heaven. anything about Jesus truly excites me, but through reading this book, i found myself with "holy spirit goosebumps" with almost every page i read! although at times i felt like her relationship with Jesus was almost "militant" she really inspired me to live whole heartedly for Him.....and really, what else would i want to do? it's time to start living our lives the right way. sticking to our convictions, being all or nothing, and sharing the real love of god with everyone around us.  to get inspired by Choo's incredible story, you can order your copy here. 


if you read it, let me know your thoughts! what books have you read recently or started in the new year?

roasted butternut squash and tzatziki

well after all the holidays have come and passed, i finally have time to sit down and write these recipes. and i have to tell you, its been a week and a half since i made this, and i havent stopped thinking about it! sometimes your greatest successes can be found in your mistakes...and that's exactly what happened on this night for dinner. i knew i was making roasted squash with steamed asparagus and carrots. the squash has an incredible flavor, but i needed to boost the steamed vegetables just a bit. so my greek mind decided on tzatziki (pronounced: tat-zee-kee). for those of you who don't know what that is, wake up and get yourself to the closest greek festival and you'll discover it's the most delicious condiment in the form of a yogurt cucumber sauce. but i remember being intimidated watching my older sister make this when i was a kid, because with every greek recipe you have to cook like a superhero...or grecian goddess...and multitask for at least six hours stra

tips for transition/maintaining a healthy lifestyle

with the experience that i've had over the last five-ish years sticking to a whole foods diet, i thought why not just throw some things i've learned on to a nice and neat little blog post for your inspiration. enjoy:) 1. READ, READ, READ!! the moment i found out that there were some serious issues going on with my health at age 18, i was mortified and had a desperation to find answers. the herbalist i was working with at the time suggested two books to read to help me understand the concept of healing the body. i can't even remember the name of either of the books, but for the first time in my life, i enjoyed reading! after that i decided to plow through every book i could find on health and nutrition. i had to immerse myself in the work of these authors, to remind myself that i wasn't in fact insane like everyone else around me perceived...i was regaining control of my body and mind by leaving the status quo of western eating. if you are interested in your health, r

traveling trail mix

there's nothing i love more than traveling. as crazy as you know i am, it shouldn't surprise you that the first thing i plan for a trip is all the food i will be bringing with me. i usually spend a few days day-dreaming and preparing the food i make for a trip, and less than an hour packing my suitcase with personal belongings. the only person who takes this task more seriously than i do is my sister. she even packed fermented vegetables in her suitcase while traveling to another continent! read her blog , see how she did it and learn about some of her healthy tips and adventures in greece. i'm currently sitting in the airport waiting to board a plane that will take me to paradise....navarre beach, florida! as one of "florida's best kept secrets," it has emerald coast lines with white sand that soothes your feet as you frolick across it. my family has been traveling to this same destination for the last twenty years, and i love it more and more every year we
