The Marriage of Mind and Body

Hey guys, it can seem like a long road, when most of your life you have made unhealthy choices. It really can, but appreciating its purpose is your fuel. Admire the intrinsic value of your journey! Get excited that you desire healthy living! Be ecstatic your mind is listening to your body! They are in a Marriage and it's reconciliation time baby!

Ok, so you divorced your body for some time or maybe it was a short separation, ok, but now you're in therapy! Now, like a marriage between two people, healing begins! You must make up in your mind that without a shadow of a doubt, this relationship is what you want! Even if at the moment, it's not. Walk in Faith, Love and Purpose! How you eat, begins in your mind!

Day by day enjoy eating, no matter what you choose to eat. Never call it cheating or off my diet. Living healthy is not a Prison Sentence, a fad or about weight loss, it's a union. The first step is love. Love yourself and those around you so change will be inevitable!

I leave you with this question, "Do you love you?"

Cooking for Peace!


                                 

Today i want to share my sovereign place to get away from it all! Stiring, creating, tasting, even the burn on my tongue!  It's my Thing, my It. I can smell the final stage of a sauce reduction before I start! Smell is my mighty partner, even before sight! I love to cook Darn it! 

As a Private Chef I get the chance to give a moment to individuals that we all deserve! I am able to serve their appetites! Is your appetite being served? 

We all need that something in our lives. That place of peace and completeness! It can be in a hobby, career or time alone. You need it! Everything we run around for can not only pull and tug! Some things must revive us and imprint peace to our souls! 

Gather your peaceful moments and have a heart to heart with your inner-self! Continue with what brings that calm place to your life or find it asap! Do what you love and love what you do! All around you, including your body, will be grateful!

Food and Mental Health!

                                   

Hey it's MarilynTheChef saying, "Do not kid yourself!" If you chose not to eat well, you will not live well! When do I eat unhealthy things? Usually on that occasion when I feel down, exhausted, vulnerable! These are the times I literally crave garbage. Not homemade or preservative free, Cacao filled cookies and Coconut milk, GARBAGE! 

My palate will get moist and my emotions, in their dark state will hunger for whatever is harmful to my body! NOOO! YEEES!

Our mind needs us to love our body! Our brain needs the saturated fat found in a Avocado! Low fat diets can lead to elevated levels of stress and anxiety! How about the tons of vitamin C found in them! Can we say mood changer?!

Do your research! Change your Palate and change your Mind!

Snacks

What are your daily choices? Is it friut or is it High Fructose Corn Syrup? Know what's in your food! Believe you are worth the best! Snacking will build up your metabolism, but choose the right snacks.

                               
When eating in moderation, there is not a thing wrong with cake and cookies that you make or buy in a bakery.  But limit the wrappers you tear, they need preservatives to stay fresh, so why not just eat fresh!

Eat well not less! Live long, not hard and build a Divine Appetite!

Love Your Body!

                         

Hey you, it's MarilynTheChef and I have a question. What does your body mean to you? Spiritually, Mentally and Physically! Breathe and decide where you and your body stand! Is it teamwork or just doing the bare minimum for one another? 

Fuel your body daily with positive thinking, nutritional choices and exercise! When is the last time you took a long walk? I know alot about dieting and exercising for vanity, but also know plenty about a healthy lifestlye for the sole purpose of abundant living!

My body and I are a team! We love each other! I fuel her and she revives me daily. She fights her own battles without medication and gets me through spouts of sadness! She is HEALTHY!

Healthy Lifestyle!


Hey you, it's MarilynTheChef and this is exactly right! Eating well is a day to day journey! It's not a quick fix, a starvation routine, it is about rejuvenating yourself every day you breath life! Eating well is better than gold!

What was your first meal of the day and what will be your last? Just think about it, plan it, figure it out, it's not as complicated as it seems. When you're running around and not sure what to eat, choose something healthy. That does not mean you can only eat a salad or drink a smoothie! How about something freshly cooked, not deep fried, and can spoil if not refrigerated! Forget about the packaged microwavable assortment! Choice your healthy lifestyle! You deserve it! One day at a time!

Eat well, Not less! Live long, Not hard! Build a Divine Appetite!

Butter!

I am such a stickler with this one! See how fast I forget I'm a food service professional and leave my mercy at the door, if a cafe, diner... gives me margarine! It's happened and yes, in a nice place. 

I HATE margarine! Yes I used that powerful word! Can you blame me, its tasteless and loaded with fillers! Come on, you have to many yummy options! During your next supermarket visit, try something new. No, not the new brand-name cookie or soda flavors, Butter!

Please eat what derived from something that had life! For me it's BUTTER, originating from an UDDER! Yes cows milk, uggh, I'm so weak! I don't drink it, but cheese and butter are my daily treats! Yeah my smile is from cheek to cheek! 

If you do not want dairy in your life, there are tons of plant based butters that rock flavor and not chemicals! Leave margarine in the 90's and go sweet and natural! Hello, google it man and get your palate on track!
