Reach for Higher Feeling Thoughts

Reach for Higher Feeling Thoughts

The idea may be foreign to you, but you can choose the thoughts you have. You can experience a negative thought and instead of continuing on with that thought, you can choose again. You can gently release thoughts that bring you down and replace them with thoughts that bring you joy. By changing your thoughts, you gradually change your beliefs. By changing your beliefs, you change your reality. You can make any situation instantly better but simply choosing a better feeling thought.

Setting Boundaries: Remember Your Why

Setting Boundaries: Remember Your Why

Having a strong why when setting boundaries is like a lighthouse guiding ships to safe harbor on a cloudy day. When you start to lose sight of the shore, it’ll keep you on course. It’s your light of truth that will help you keep your boundaries strong once you’ve set them.

Summer Garden Veggie Pasta Salad

Summer Garden Veggie Pasta Salad

As summer winds down take full advantage of the last of the summer vegetables and herbs! This pasta can be served hot or cold. It’s a yummy and easy side to bring to a Labor Day BBQ. If you’re a gardener, this recipe is a perfect opportunity to put all that fresh produce to good use! If you aren’t a gardener, head out to your local farmers market and grab the last of the summer haul! Fresh vegetables and herbs taste amazing in the summer months. Enjoy it while you can!

 

Ingredients:

  • Corn
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Eggplant
  • Basil
  • Whole Wheat Pasta
  • Olive Oil
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • Garlic Salt
  • Balsamic vinegar

Directions

  • Slice eggplant into long strips and drizzle with olive oil and garlic salt.
  • Grill eggplant and corn on the BBQ until lightly charred.
  • When corn is cool enough to touch, cut corn off the cob.
  • Cook pasta according to directions on the box. I like to mix half a box of two different shaped pasta. It keeps things interesting.
  • Cut cherry tomatoes in half. Sauté tomatoes for three minutes in pan with olive oil, garlic salt, and basil.
  • Add cooked and drained pasta, eggplant, corn, olive oil, tomatoes, and lemon juice together. Top with fresh basil, balsamic, and parmesan cheese.
  • Enjoy!

Notes:

If you want to make this a full meal, add some grilled shrimp, chicken, or steak

Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant Parmesan

My dad had a bunch of eggplants from his garden that needed to be eaten. I valiantly rose to the challenge. I was a vegetarian for three years. When I was, eggplant parmesan was my go to meal. To this day, it is still one of my favorites! After many attempts, I have finally perfected my recipe and I am now sharing with you! Let me know if you try it! Enjoy!
