Spread What You Are

Every time I walk into my kitchen, even though I’m alone I know I’m not alone.

Wether we realize it or not, none of us is.

It is the place that we often bring family and friends… and the food is not merely ‘food’… It turns into ‘fellowship’ and becomes who we are and who we want to be through what we serve.

I was mesmerized for a long time, with SOO MANY options in margarine in the supermarket. Mesmerized because the margarines all say ‘I have GREAT taste, less saturated fat, less cholesterol and fewer calories.’

The more alternatives, the more difficult the choice.

Isn’t it true?

I did my study and I tried them all.

My veredict and the truths about those spreads:

→ BENECOL – 70 cal. 8 g. fat, saturated fat 1. It has plant sterols (naturally extracted and they help lower cholesterol)-Good consistency and deliciously like butter.

→ FLEISCHMANN’S Unsalted. – 60 cal. 7 g. fat and saturated fat one. Good choice if you need to cut out or lower salt intake. Very good and I didn’t taste a lack of salt.

→ SMART BALANCE Light Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 50 cal. 5 g. fat and 1.5 saturated fat. This margarine gives you 50% of the recommended vitamin D. daily. It has a rich flavor.

→ Soy Free EARTH BALANCE -100 cal. 11g. fat and 3.5 saturated fat. It has no soy and is gluten free and without milk. Super creamy texture, I like it… but it is high in fat.

Surprising Benefits

Days ago I tried to inspire you to plant the ‘symbol of Wales.’

Something that Greeks, Romans and Egyptians used for centuries:

WHY: if you buy a bunch of leeks and plant the white part to the roots… you never have to buy them again!!

Today I discovered the amazing benefits of this plant, which does not require almost any care (except water and plenty of sunshine).

♥ Leeks are full  of:

→ Calcium, Potassium and Folic Acid = a type of B vitamin that lowers levels of hemocystin (an amino acid that does great damage to the arteries).

→ Green onions strengthens bones.

→ It has 45% vitamin K (which reduces neurological damage, is a supplement that can fight Alzeihmer’s disease, also an antioxidant that strengthens hair, teeth and nails).

→ Reduces the risk of prostate cancer.

→ Supports sexual functions.

Cooking Memories

We must: reuse, renew, recycle and SAVE .

For example:

This iron skillet, not being used in the cupboard can cook memories…

Reminders, warnings, messages,  with a southern charm and country style.

“There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I just feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things we could use.” (Mother Teresa)

Every time you reuse something or take some trash and put in the right place  say it yourself: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the house of God.” ;-)

Right …?
