The gathering of friends and food
Can set quite the mood
My going away get together with all my close friends.
Makes me smile, creates a twist in my mind- it’s like it bends.
It’s almost goodbye to my hometown in LA,
Off to fulfill my wonders and dreams in NYC to make my life what I’ve always wanted, for things to be more than okay.

Meditation Mondays:
“Being in a good frame of mind helps keep one in the picture of health”
..We all know when we act like everything is going wrong in our lives whether it is or not. Why not try to act like there may be faults but everything is more than alright, come tomorrow it just-may-be.
Collect clips of positivity and moments of gratefulness, our life is still snapping away like a photograph from a camera. Take advantage of every second, you don’t realize the good things when you are always driven towards problems. Why not try it?

A ginger-mascarpone whip twirled in caramel and filled in dark chocolates. Cocomaya in London has trained me well. Dear Alex, your technique and talent you have in creating the perfect yet subtle chocolates have done more than just inspired me. The flavors I have created have been a huge success and I thank you for giving me this passion and great tips in my chocolate making.
Directions: Temper out about 1 1/2-2cups of dark chocolate. Fill your chocolate mold about 1/3 of the way full and brush up the mold to get an even coat on the whole mold. OR a way that I was trained and prefer is to fill the mold up and tip it over called the ‘flooding’ method-tapping the sides of the mold until all the excess chocolate has spilled out. (This way creates a mess so prepare yourself) stick in in the freezer while you create your filling. Melt about 1 1/2 cup sugar until all the sugar is smooth, add about a half cup of milk, and a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and stir until smooth and creamy, if the caramel is too hard, add more milk. Let it cool to room temperature. Whip about 1 cup of mascarpone cheese, chop up about 2 coins of ginger and mix together, along with a half teaspoon of ground ginger for additional spice and flavor. Fold the cheese into the caramel and place inside your chocolates about 3/4 of the way full. Check to make sure that the dark chocolate is still tempered and fill on top of each chocolate, tap out the air bubbles and scrape off any excess chocolate. Place mold inside freezer for 15 minutes or until you can see each chocolate is detached from your mold.
These are perfect holiday bites for the family or friends OR to just make for fun :) enjoy this holiday with vibrant flavors and break out of your bold shells to reveal your spicy self. Create some heat with a well seasoned treat, a zing of an energizing ginger to winter into the new year. Make an excuse to snack with the people you love to celebrate Christmas Cheer!

Staring at my future goals and looking up to friendly souls.
Really trying to perfect my recipes but letting negative vibes and life’s daily thrives lead me to subside.
I am conducting a plan to keep a promise of tasks to get done, following naturally will come stress-less fun. I get carried away, carried away and now I know it is not time to be led astray.
Stare into beautiful things that will inspire you today. Snack on some dried cherries to get a tangy thrill to your attitude today :)

FOOD IS MY FRIEND: 6 TIPS FOR MINDFUL EATING
“Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.” ~Buddha
1. Count Your Blessings
“Honor your food and express your gratitude. Do you feel fortunate to be able to afford the food you eat? Is your food nutritious? Does it look pretty on your plate? Tell it!”2. Be Aware of Your Senses
“Eating is more pleasurable when it is a multi-sensory experience.
“Use your eyes and notice what is on your plate. Smell the aroma. Chew slowly so you can appreciate the flavors and experience the textures.”3. Appreciate All Food Equally
“Don’t treat everyday food as boring and unimportant. Give it the same gratitude, interest and excitement that you offer a favorite meal. It’s natural to ooh and ahh over a favorite birthday dinner. But what about the chicken or salad you eat frequently? Take the time to notice and be thankful.”
“Arrange it on your plate so that it looks nice. If you have good dishes, don’t just use then for special occasions. Everybody and everything likes to be the recipient of good vibes and positive attention. Appreciated food is more likely to deliver all of its nutrients—partly because you aren’t gulping it down.”4. Feel Your Feelings
“Don’t require your food to be a workhorse for your emotions. It wasn’t designed for that job. Feelings are part of the human experience. Don’t be frightened of feeling bored, lonely or sad.”
“Sit with your feelings rather than fleeing from them. Determine whether you are hungry or bored. This small amount of attention and awareness helps prevent mindless eating.”5. Take the Stress Out of Eating
“Be present when you’re eating, and be mindful of the way you talk about food when you’re not. Remember: complaining about bad eating habits doesn’t actually do anything to change them!”
“When you habitually talk about your discontent, you create an ongoing poor relationship with food. If you were to constantly speak about your boyfriend or wife in this way, you would cause plenty of problems in your relationship.”“Instead of dwelling on your problems with food, say something nice about it. For example, focus on the way food fuels your body and allows you to do the things you want to do.”
6. Love Your Food
“Don’t buy into the idea that if you enjoy food too much, you’ll never stop eating it. Take a chance and see what happens when you love your food. Doesn’t it make sense that just as in any relationship when love and appreciation are expressed a greater sense of well-being follows?”
“When food is your friend, you can’t help but feel happier. And that is a state of mind that we could all benefit from seeing more of in the world.”

FROZEN YOGURT:
When you wake up and stretch from left to right,
you might get a feeling of ice cream you just can’t fight.
Instead of taking this image out of sight, simply because it isn’t breakfast,
you can make an alternative to something always missed.
What about FROZEN YOGURT, do you love the light kiss?
That delicate flavor, and perhaps a Taro-root bliss?
These things make me smile so twas definately worth my while
to get my sister out of bed and down the hill we sled.
Right off to Yogurtland to open out of our morning cave
We put mochi balls and granola to fulfill our guilty crave.
If something makes you happy yet feel a bit out of place, take that thought and remix it to fit in your place. We have thoughts for so many reasons so if we twist it to what makes sense I don’t see any sight of treasons.
Have a wonderful day filled with “why not” thoughts, take it further to every day in a month- as far as we know we will only be able to make that decision just ONCE.

Flow like water and melt like cheese, this world is what yours so live as you please. Take problems as “it wasn’t meant to be” and you will see, life is already planned out for you, so take bad events as an occasion for something new. Happy Wednesday because you’re almost there, I wish you the best of becoming enlightened and reaching fresh air.
