In Honor of the Proverbs31 Woman

Proverbs 10:14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

 In honor of this amazing woman, I decided to take a nutrition class to learn all I could regarding nutrition.  It appears that she went out of her way to bring the best produce to her family.  

 The class was 6 weeks long and I received a certificate showing that I learned something but really it takes time and patience to learn because it's ongoing.

 Albeit, I did learn some valuable information.  Some I already knew about and some that caught me off guard.  For example, I got a list of herbs and spices to use to cook with instead of a lot of salt.  Now, I know about herbs and spices but this info broke it down so that I would know what herbs and spices go well with what foods.  Lovin it!

 All a woman has to do is cook, right....well true, but it's good to have information that keeps you from making unnecessary mistakes.  And even if you're an at home chef, it doesn't hurt to keep learning and building your skills on food and nutrition for yourself, family and friends.

From the the Proverbs 31 Woman scriptures, she searched for the best foods so that she could feed her family.  Why is this important?  Because without good health, it is difficult at best to just navigate the daily grind of life, let alone enjoy it.

 Nope, I'm not a chef and I don't pretend to be one but I'm learning to cook fresher and choose recipes that call for fresh foods....not fast foods, or lots of junk and packaged foods.

 Who knows, we might be eating foods that are slowly killing us.....if nothing else it's making us fat Americans.

 We all have a love hate relationship with food......we love it but we hate that we have to be careful about what we eat.  Not only that, when we get sick, we should be choosing natural foods over high fat and sugar laden cough syrups.  The bible even says that the herb of the tree is for healing.

   
Ezekial 47:12
And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.”

I won't preach.....just sharing information to help us all get up to God speed.....practical, good steps to move forward.  I'm on a journey.....won't you join me?

Here is a link to pinterest healthy foods.......Enjoy! http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=healthy%20recipes

Here's wishing you a healthy, prosperous and beautiful life.....because when we know to do better, we do better.

Smooches!!

Yep I know, if you have a blog you should at least write in it once a week or so not a year later.  Well at least there's no blog police or I'd be in big trouble.....at least I don't think so (she says this as she looks over her shoulders)....I have plenty of excuses:  I didn't have anything to write about; too busy.....okay not cool but I'm sticking with it. Anyhoo, I have some good news.  I'm now teaching Dabble  classes.  What is Dabble you say?  Just the coolest webspace around.  Dabble allows you to create classes that you're good at, love and would like to share with others.  I'm a teacher at heart and always will be but I wanted to change the direction of my teaching and I think I've landed on a good one Houston....LOL. Thank you to those who have been waiting forever for content, and for those of you who have long forgotten me, shame on you....well, no, I think it's my fault....no writing and no marketing. These things take ti

Welcome to Homemade from the Heart.   I am attempting to create and live like the Proverbs 31 Woman from the bible.  An astonishing feat I know, but one in which I'm motivated to do. I am the Martha Stewart of the Bible.....a more appropriate way to define myself I believe.  I'm a designer and artist by nature......so as I'm learning and growing I'm sharing with you my experience and my Etsy store and products that come out of all the creativity. Join me as I create, learn and share with you what it means to live healthy, creatively and Godly all at the same time.  My desire is to live beautifully which translates living naturally.  I plan to show you gardening ideas (container gardens because I am not a true gardener), decorating from your garden and cost effective ways to decorate and re-purpose items which includes making tablescapes, wreaths and small furniture.  I'm not quite that good at doing large pieces....I'm a work in progress. So what does re

It is difficult to find activities for kids when money is low and you have more than one child.  But thank God Chicago has a myriad of opportunities for kid-friendly fun and learning.  All one has to do is do a little research and you can find tons of free or inexpensive things to do. Today I am posting links of websites to look up and places to go that will help any parent find something for their children to do. Chicagoparent.com Magazine online is a great beginning.  I used it a lot when my children were smaller and for my students when I had to take them on 2 field trips a month. You can also pick up the actual magazine through any library in the city.  Chicago Children's Museum has an exhibit called Danger 101.  Kids get to unleash their Daredevil and to be adventurous.  Most of the museums cost money to attend but they also have free days.  Here's a list.
