How to have Glowing Skin

If you’re wondering what to eat for beautiful skin, here is a video I made showing which foods can really make a difference and give you beautiful, glowing skin. I always say, “Good skin care starts on the inside.” Of course the outside matters too, so always wear sunscreen (even on cloudy days), don’t smoke, and eat a healthy diet that includes my top ten foods to make you look fab!

Send a message to Sue

A good friend to all of us here at this blog sent this message today…

“Hey JJ and my blog friends, I just wanted to tell you that Teka is gone. She started suffering something horrible this past Saturday, March 2nd and she died today. I want to thank you all for your prayers and love when she was diagnosed back in August. Our hearts are so sad. Thanks again everyone for your love. What an incredible dog she was. :( We are lost.

Sue, Mike and Kya.”

From Sue (March 5): “I wanted to share a plaque that was on the wall last night at the vets. How beautiful and so true…”

No flu for you

Are you still home with the flu or a cold? Are you barely able to get out the words, “Can somebody please make me some soup?” Are you tired of getting sick every flu season? Well, you can do something about it… like don’t go where the flu is! Or, if you do go there, you might still prevent it by eating the right things that are known to boost your immune system. Look… I even made a video about it:

Eating this way can save your life

I’ve always believed in the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, which consists mostly of olive oil, nuts, fish, fruit, vegetables, and a glass of wine every day. Then there was a big news story this week all about the life-saving benefits of eating this way and how it can prevent heart disease.  The evidence is pretty clear so I’m posting the food pyramid here. I hope I can make a difference by sharing helpful information like this. And for anyone on Pinterest, I have a board just for Mediterranean recipes. The way I see it, it’s Mediterranean 6 days a week, and on the 7th day – pizza!

Who’s in charge at YouTube?

First of all, congratulations to Marlis on winning my cookbook! There were 271 almonds in the jar and she guessed 272! Now, onto my YouTube fun…

I recently posted a new cooking video on hash browns and noticed a link for “transcript.” What the transcript said and what I actually said, bore only some similarity but the differences are hilarious! Here are some examples:

“We’re gonna start by killing a potato … We’re gonna preheat japan … Gps unfolds two small children mushy potatoes … This is the perfect size –  just pray that it takes … We’re going to get the moisture out of this police …” ???

Who’s in charge at Youtube? This is not a job to be shipping overseas!

If you want to have some fun, watch my hash brown video or any youtube video with instructions and enjoy. 🙂

Here’s the link to my youtube channel:

My Valentine

Happy Valentine’s Day to Denis, my  partner of 27 years.

I call him my “precious little puppy fluff.”

He makes me laugh every day.

He still tells me he loves me every night.

Is this a bad day to ask him to clean the garage?

Whatever happened to me?

In the tabloids again? When I heard that I was in the National Examiner, I was expecting the worst.  It was a relief to see that it was just updates on what we’re all doing except there was no mention of my cooking!

Oh well, it could have been worse…. It could have been “Stars Without Makeup” or “A Tub of Cottage Cheese or Jenny Jones’s Thighs? You Decide!”

Merry Christmas, everyone.

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. This is a photo I took of a rare pink poinsettia that a friend gave me. I put it in the kitchen where I’ll be spending the day cooking and baking. Have a wonderful joy-filled Christmas day.
