Florida Shrimp Piccata With Zucchini Strips
Yummy! Here is the recipe:
Florida Shrimp Piccata With Zucchini Strips
2 Cloves of garlic minced
1 Pound of Pink Florida Gulf Shrimp (use whatever kind of shrimp you want)
1 Cup of chicken broth
1/4 Cup of white wine
Juice of one lemon plus the zest
2 Tablespoons of capers
2 Tablespoons of fresh parsley chopped
1/2 Stick of butter
1.5 Pounds of zucchini (that was 4 medium sized zucchini)
First, I bought a machine at Home Goods that cuts the zucchini into strips to substitute as noodles. I filled a bowl with the freshly cut zucchini ribbons. Just before serving, I sauteed the noodles in butter for a few minutes just to warm them up. To order the Veggetti Spiralizer click HERE!
My next step was to clean and de-shell the shrimp. I also cut the tails off.
In a pan, I melted the butter and sauteed the garlic until soft. I added the broth and wine and cooked it down for a few minutes, then I added the shrimp and lemon juice/zest and capers,cooked until the shrimps were firm. I then transfer on to a platter that had I had put the zucchini ribbons on. Sprinkled with the parsley and decorated with slices of lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Tasty and low carb, but I have to admit. I would have preferred it to be served with rice.
Note: I used organic broth, and the shrimp is wild, Florida shrimp, not farmed.The parsley was from our herb garden, and so were the lemons.

Some summers will stay with you forever…
Callie Weaver and best friend Olivia Dixon have finally done it: put their life savings into the beach house they admired through childhood summers, on the dazzling white sand of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. They’re going to buff the salt from its windows, paint its sun-bleached sidings, and open it as a bed and breakfast.
Callie’s too busy to think about her love life, but when she catches the attention of local heartthrob Luke Sullivan, his blue eyes and easy smile make it hard to say no. He’s heir to his father’s property empire, and the papers say he’s just another playboy, but as they laugh in the ocean waves, Callie realizes there’s more to this man than money and good looks.
Just when true happiness seems within reach, Callie and Olivia find a diary full of secrets… secrets that stretch across the island, and have the power to turn lives upside down. As Callie reads, she unravels a mystery that makes her heart drop through the floor.
Will Callie and Luke be pulled apart by the storm it unleashes, or can true love save them?

Get Rid of Your Middle Bulge With Yoga Burn
Phase 1
Foundational Flow
This phase is called the foundational flow because that is exactly what we will be building: A solid Yoga Foundation. The first four weeks are designed to teach you the foundation of a strong yoga practice and of course, start to shape long, lean muscles while having fun! Both beginners and advanced yoga students can and will benefit from this unique set of sequences. You will learn how to execute proper form and build a strong “mind-body” connection so you can call on the muscles you need once we move into the more challenging videos. This initial foundation is the key to progressing through the next two phases safely and effectively.
Phase 2
Transitional Flow
Phase 2 is dedicated to teaching you how to combine the moves we’ve learned in Phase 1 into a smooth flow that will allow you to burn more calories and get that heart rate up! By now you will be more comfortable with our basic moves, so let’s mix it up and keep your body guessing to force it to adapt and change for the better!! Each video in this phase focuses on large muscles groups. The 3 workout videos are: Upper body, Lower Body, and Core. We will work on our transitions from one pose to the next. Learning how to link poses together feels really good, and allows you to focus on the present moment rather than giving the mind time to wander…it’s like a moving meditation!
Phase 3
Mastery Flow
Get ready to kick it up a notch ladies! It’s time to combine all that we have learned from the past 2 Phases into a scorching hot sequence that will fire up your metabolism and transform your body in ways you may have never imagined possible with yoga!
The layout of each video is slightly different than the previous videos. There is more repetition of each pose to really encourage the desired muscle to fatigue. Also, you will be guided through a combination of upper and lower body compound movements. These are designed to get the most done in the shortest amount of time, and the muscles we are going to target will help give your body that sexy hourglass shape.
Phase 3 is designed to spice things up, re-energize and reinvigorate your mental focus while fully maximizing your weight loss results.
Higher Vibrational Spirituality Book By Tanya Jopson, Spirit Coach
Is life living you or are you living life (authentically)?
Is life living you or are you living life (authentically)? Knowing the difference enables you to live a personally fulfilling reality?
In this enlightening book, is a complete presentation of a spiritual process that will empower us to live a spirit-guided-life. When we live life guided by spirit, or as one with our higher-self, we are then living life authentically. This guidance works well, if we trust it, and is often known to come from our higher-self, an aspect of our total energy-body or our unseen existence, and it is always divinely connected to that which created us.
In order to know this part of ourselves, we can apply a simple but effective evaluation of our own work. Is our work forced, planned, intentional, and thought-led, or is it inspirational, intuitive, natural and spontaneous? This book delivers a message of love and guidance for the ascension of human life. Wherever we find our-self, there, too, is the Creator’s presence, in stillness, as it awaits our recognition. Our choice is: do we recognize life in this moment, from physical world dominance, or from a fully engaged spiritual world presence? The dramas of life are simply the mirror of our mind and will eventually be replaced with the reflection that mirrors the Creator’s intent.
To suffer in life is a challenging but valid lesson, when it leads to an expanded awareness. When we can detach enough from allowing the phenomena of thoughts, emotions, identity, concepts and ideas to dominate, we gain engagement of a higher resonance, one which is above the frequency we are now experiencing. Our perception then clears enough to illuminate a far greater reality, one filled with joy, love, compassion, being, inspiration, intuition, peace and unity, where we know, “We live in the world, but not of the world.”
For Free Preview of First Chapter Click Here
The words within these pages will help you quickly see through situations and experiences to illuminate the dynamics of the frequency scale and its connection to each person’s individual spiritual path. This scale extends beyond the measuring capabilities of the scientific world. Within these pages we will venture on both sides of the veil and illuminate just how the veil eventually disappears, bringing spirit-led life into our daily reality. Our perception of reality is incredible because whatever is contained within, will also be found in our daily life. In the case of our perception being filled with dramatic life content, we actually thicken the veil over the clear action of our I AM presence. Should we work to clear the lens of perception, our I AM presence filters in causing more transmutation and clearing as we simultaneously ascend the vibrational frequency scale. Whatever is on the lens of our perception is guaranteed to be manifested and returned as what we recognize as our reality and our world.
Patience is essential to any spiritual unfolding…
Patience is essential to any spiritual unfolding, and reading these words gives you the space to ponder and compare, see and expand, and then, finally, consciously accept if you choose to be one with the consciousness of this intelligent, creative life-source that is the Mind of God.

Lose Weight With This Thyroid Diet
Lose Weight With This Thyroid Diet by Terry Ryan
Okay, I am going to admit right away…that I just found out about this diet in WOMAN’S WORLD and blessed by the man himself…Dr. Oz. (Oh, Dr. Oz, my mother has a crush on you.) There it was, the magazine at the checkout counter with Dr. Oz’s charming face staring at me with a title in giant font – NEW FROM DR.OZ 60-SECOND THYROID FIX. And under it in a playful and smaller font was… It can make you 35 lbs slimmer.
Now what’s a chubby, hypothyroid woman to do? That’s right, I couldn’t resist and yanked that magazine off the rack and threw it on the checkout belt. $1.99 later it was mine. When I arrived home I sat my derriere on the couch and checked the contents for the only part I wanted to read. There it was, page 20! What secret 60 second fix was it going to reveal? (I’ll try anything.)
Totally intrigued, I read through the article as quickly as I could for the 60 SECOND FIX! There it was, near the bottom of the page. The number 1 thyroid boost is to eat 30 grams of protein to fire up your metabolism.
I am…yep…a breakfast skipper. My morning begins with water and my gel cap of Triosint, my hormone replacement medicine. Then I head to the pickleball courts where I play for around 2 hours which equals approximately 10k steps on the pedometer. After that, I pick my 85 year-old mother up for lunch, and I usually have a green or fruit salad. Mom will eat pasta or a sub. I love fruit and if I have any kind of animal protein, it will be grilled chicken. Dinner is another salad, maybe a baked potato. I avoid gluten, dairy, and white sugar, and I haven’t lost a pound in over a year. I also am a juicer. Lately, a lazy juicer and will buy a fresh veggie/fruit juice at the juice cafe. I’ve burned out 2 juicers (juicers in a couple of years). All this healthy eating has given me my energy back, but losing weight is still a struggle. I’m looking for the secret.
Here is my favorite juice recipe:
1 Raw organic beet
1 Apple
2 Stalks of celery
1 Cucumber
1/4 Piece of fresh ginger
Place all the ingredients through the juicer and store any leftover juice in glass jars with tops and refrigerator to keep fresh. Use on day two. I drink about 8 ounces at a time, 2 times a day. Please use organic produce.
I am going to try this diet from Woman’s Day for 30 Days to see if I can lose a few pounds. Wish me luck. If you want to find out if it worked or not you can sign up for my updates. I will never use your email to try sell you anything. I’ll only send you new EARTH SHATTERING NEWS about thyroid health and Hashimoto’s disease.
Here is the diet.
Start with this breakfast shake:
In a blender put:
- 1 Tbs of almond butter
- 1 Tbs of cacao nibs
- 1 Cup of unsweetened chocolate almond milk (Do they make UNSWEETENED almond milk?)
- 1 Serving fiber supplement (I’m going to use Heather’s Tummy Fiber that I use already.
- 1 Serving of chocolate protein powder
- Pinch of sea salt.
I’m sure if you cannot find chocolate protein powder, you can use vanilla or plain. Do not put any sugar in this drink in fact avoid all sugar while on this diet.
Lunch
Have 3 oz of turkey, 1 oz. of feta cheese, 3 sliced strawberries on a bed of green salad with slice sweet onion. Drizzle fresh lemon juice and a tablespoon of olive oil.
Dinner
Grilled chicken or steak (4 oz.), unlimited steamed broccoli with 2 tsp of olive oil, lemon juice. 1/2 Baked sweet potato.
There are other option meals to have for lunch and dinner. You are allowed one cheat meal per week that does not contain chemicals or high-fructose corn syrup,
Be sure to drink plenty of water. Coffee and tea are fine. (As always, get doctor’s approval before changing your diet.)
This diet is originates from the book, The Hormone Boost
(From Amazon) New York Times bestselling author Dr. Natasha Turner returns with a simple and effective weight-loss plan that harnesses the power of the six hormones linked to strength, energy, and weight loss.
When it comes to metabolism, energy, immunity, memory, mood, and strength, who doesn’t need a boost now and then? The Hormone Boost is the first book to provide an extensive, scientific overview of the six hormones that influence weight loss. Although it is widely accepted that the thyroid hormones control weight loss efforts, Dr. Turner reveals how the impact of five other hormones―testosterone and DHEAs, adiponectin, growth hormone, adrenaline, and glucagon―are equally important when trying to lose weight.
In Dr. Turner’s previous bestselling books, she taught you how to identify and solve hormonal imbalances. In The Hormone Boost, she focuses on optimizing what’s right and includes a revolutionary plan that has been proven effective for everyone, not just those experiencing symptoms of hormone disruption. With more than 60 recipes and a simple Pick-4 guide to creating meals, smoothies, and salads, the book makes getting the right balance of carbs, fat, and protein easy.
The Hormone Boost is chock-full of tips and positive research findings and features daily progress tracking aids and a weekly workout plan that emphasizes strength training. The book also includes advice about supplements for accelerating fat loss, improving sleep, digestion, and skin appearance, as well as building strong muscles and bones. You will find inspiration in the success stories from Dr. Turner’s clinical practice and TV belly-fat makeovers.
Rather than merely targeting weight loss, The Hormone Boost offers total wellness. No more deprivation, irritability, hunger, or fatigue that so often accompany diets. Dr. Turner’s plan will have you energized from the start!
Sounds like it may work. I’ll let you know.
Thanks for reading.
