Tried and True? Or False? Coconut Cream Cups

From March 2010 Clean Eating

Hey Everyone!!!

So here it is- the bi monthly – Tried and True or False – recipe tester post…….last time – I tested the Almond Milk Rice Pudding – from the January Issue of Clean Eating – and it was AWESOME! I made some minor tweaks to the recipe- posted it and STRONGLY encourage you to try it! I made it for a dinner party – and my guests loved it! This time around – I tested the Coconut Cream Cups from the March 2010 issue of Clean Eating….I have been trying to ADD some new good foods into my daily diet – and with enthusiasum – I purchased my FIRST pound of TOFU ever for this recipe! I thought if it came out good- it would encourage me to try and cook more tofu at home (even though I try to avoid SOY products – it is a good meat alternative…..) So then I got to work!
And here is my review…..

MY DOGS WOULDN”T EVEN EAT IT. GROSS. The recipe was not complicated, looked exactly like it did in the picture……but the tofu based custard just did NOT work. It had an after taste and psychological effect – that just could not be overcome – even with extra coconut!!! So save your money, and your time and pick another recipe to try this week!

Do you have any good healthy coconut custard recipes to share??? POST THEM IN THE COMMENTS FOR ALL TO ENJOY! Please be sure the recipes are tried and TRUE!

As always,
Stay Focused Until the Miracle Happens!

Life …..

Here are some of the things I have been thinking a lot about recently – and I wanted to share them with you all!

In 2009 three elders in my family passed away within a 3 month period. While it most certainly was a sad time for my family, for me it was very enlightening as well. Being back at the same church, saying the same prayers, saying good bye to loved ones 3 times over in three months made me realize – WOW – our time here on this planet is very short. While 85 years may seem like an eternity when you are 20 – it can go by very fast! I realized, in this modern society – that many of us act like robots, checking the blackberry, having no peace of mind EVER, working non stop – for what? A car? A bigger house? I can tell you this – when all 3 of my relatives were buried this summer – they were not buried with their money! So it was my promise to myself and them- that in 2010 I would change!

For Christmas this year – I got an amazing gift- a book of inspirational quotes- and I want to share some of the few that I think are important for everyone to read and consider…..

Life is not a journey to the grave with the goal of arriving safely and insignificantly at the end! This is YOUR LIFE, your one and only life. Don’t keep a beautiful thing like that to yourself!

Share it with your loved ones, with people who need your help and live each day as though it was your last!

This year I promise to have one new adventure each month – I want to try something fun and new each month – I will post pics as well as info on what I tried and my experience…..

GIVE LIFE & YOURSELF A NEW OUTLOOK! 2010 HANDBOOK

This post today – was an email forwarded to me by a friend. Typically, I hate forwarded emails- but this one – really impressed me – so much that I wanted to share it all with you. I will be using this as my 2010 handbook! I hope you enjoy it!

GIVE LIFE & YOURSELF A NEW OUTLOOK!

2010 Handbook

Health:
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
4. Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.
5. Make time to pray.
6. Play more games.
7. Read more books than you did in 2009.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9. Sleep for 7 hours.
10. Take a 10-30 minute walk daily. And while you walk, smile.

Personality:
1. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
2. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
3. Don’t over-do. Keep your limits.
4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
6. Dream more while you are awake.
7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
8. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with His/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.
10. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
13. Smile and laugh more.
14. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree…

Society:
1. Call your family often.
2. Each day give something good to others.
3. Forgive everyone for everything.
4. Spend time w/ people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
5. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
6. What other people think of you is none of your business.
7. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your family will. Stay in touch.

Life:
1. Do the right thing!
2. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
3. GOD heals everything.
4. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
5. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
6. The best is yet to come ! ! ! !
7. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
8. Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.

 

You made the resolution to get healthy and fit – where do you begin?

aboutbeckyThe New Year is in full swing now! The first full school and work week of 2010! You made the New Year’s Resolution to get healthy and fit – NOW – where do you begin? This seems to be one of the biggest challenges people face when trying to make a drastic life change! And – trying to eat healthy and exercise after not doing so for a long time is a challenge! I KNOW – I have been there! Here is a great way to get started!

First- start SMALL…..I want you to exercise 1 time this week! Just ONCE! And make ONE dietary change! FOr your first workout of the year – hit the gym and do one hour of cardio…..low to med intensity. This will get you out, moving, and not overwhelm you or make you too sore. As far as the diet change goes, the easiest one to make is to eat and select a healthy breakfast everyday! That is it! Just eat a small protein packed, fiber rich breakfast, and exercise 1 time. This is not hard. Do this for 2 weeks in a row – and then you are well on your way to a new you for 2010!

Remember there are 52 weeks in the year – 26 small diet and exercise changes over the course of the year add up- and the pounds will melt off as a result too! I am available for phone coaching, online personal training, and more to help you reach your goals! Call me for details! 718 640 5179

Paddleboarding, Sailing around NYC and Fritattas!

Happy Monday!!

So this past weekend- I went out – and really explored some fun activities around the NY area – many of which are available worldwide! I wanted to tell you all about my experiences and hope you find the time and energy to go and enjoy the splendors of life!!! These activities are great for all ages- and can be enjoyed as a trip with friends or the whole family!

Ok- so first – on Saturday – I took a paddleboarding lesson! It was AWESOME! We paddled for about 2.5 hours in a pond/lake in the Hamptons LI – what an amazing expereince! You get to stand on a large surfboard and paddle around….when we got tired, we layed on the boards and took in the rays…..we also paddled on our knees for a while…..really so much more fun then Kayaking – as you are much closer to the water. We took the lessons and then rented the boards for an additional 2 hours from Surf Hampton 631 283 8243.

SAILING NYC:

Then on Sunday night- I went sailing around NYC for 2 hours on a classic sailboat – about 20-30 people on board. Champane was included as we watched the sun set behond the Statue of Liberty. The sail was $50 and left from Chelsea Piers. Another awesome way to experience NYC…..meet new friends, relax and take a staycation…..

FINALLY -

Kandi’s Frittata!!!
A few weeks ago I was visiting my good friend and she invited me for breakfast……she happens to be my idol with respect to being an awesome MOM and housewife (as well as many other things….). This is a version of what she made! It was awesome!!! I HAD to share it with you!!!

In glass corningware dish- I use a medium rectangle dish – coat pan with olive oil cooking spray. Then cover the bottom of the pan with a think layer of shredded potatoes or sweet potatoes (for speed I use Simply Potatoes), then add a layer of any ingredients you wish……(last week I did sauteed basil, onions, tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, parmesean cheese, and brocoli) [today I will add sauteed portobella mushrooms, onions, spinach and asparagus with parmesean cheese] then top with 18-24 egg whites and shredded cheese. Then bake on 350 for about 30 minutes until set and slightly browning on top. Enjoy!!!

One ingredient ice cream? What?

Could it be true? Someone forwarded me an email making this claim….it was a reputable source too- so I was forced to inquire……and read on. What I found was amazing! YES it is TRUE! One ingredient ice cream- with NO artificial flavors, additives, dairy etc! MADE OUT OF FROZEN BANANAS! I read it – comprehended it- but still did NOT believe it…..how could this be? Soft serve frozen ice cream?

Take a look at this pic….

OK – so I had to see for myself and try it out. I froze 3 well ripen bananas and chopped them into 5 pieces each; then I put them in a blender 2 at a time – letting them get chopped to 1000 tidbits. Then I took a spoon and pushed all the chopped banana down- and started the blender again…..this time ensuring the banana keeps getting pushed down……unbelievable – 2 minutes and I had soft creamy fantastic ice cream!!!

Amazing! Try it for yourself!! and ENJOY!!!
