Nutritious Touch

    Now for something a little lighter   Lets talk food.  Now that my appetite is back I'm all about eating. One of my favorite meals lately is nachos. It has taken me a while to learn how to make nachos that are AIP compliant but here goes: One serving nachos: Artisan Tropic Cassava Strips, you could also use plantain chips and I think some of the Seite chips may be AIP compliant. For the cheese sauce 1/8 cup cassava flour 1/8 cup nutritional yeast 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 1/2 tsp sea salt 1/2 tsp garlic powder enough water to make a thick paste stir all ingredients in a small bowl Place chips on oven safe pan.  Pour cheese sauce on top.  Cover with whatever meat(s) you want.

Two other dates I want to...

  "... but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."  Isaiah 40:31   A renewal deserved a new blog that I actually started well over a year ago.   It encompasses two of my passions massage and nutrition.  After my world has been turned upside down this past year and a half I want this to be so much more than just massage and nutrition.  I also want to focus on the three aspects of healing: body, mind and spirit.  As I have learned one can't be healed without the other two being healed too.  I am still a work in progress and always will be but I cling to the promise found in Philippians 1:6, " And I am sure this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ".     Here is a brief overview of the past year and half.  On June 1st 2015 I woke in pain and with a fe...
