CONTROL YOUR APPETITE WITH FULL CORE HEALTHY SNACK REPLACEMENT

One of the reason I wanted to try Full Core is that I want to continue to take control of my weight.Since October I have lost ten pounds. Since I have had our children it has been hard to lose weight. I still have 10 pounds to go. Full Core will help me sustain a healthy weight. Diabetes runs in my family and I don't want to be a statistic. I know we can beat diabetes with a healthy diet and losing excess weight. I know I will get there with eating healthy,#stopsnacking between meals, adding in Full Core, and Exercise. Full Core can help with Hunger Control, nothing feels worse than being hungry all the time.  

I realize that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a lifetime process. Full Core is a great supplement to help aid in a healthy way of living. Eating the proper foods for daily vitamins and fiber is beneficial for your diet along with exercise.Full Core can help you on a daily basis for that extra help in curving your appetite.  I like that Full Core is an alternative to soda, it has the frizz of a soda but not the calories of a soda. That's amazing. 

Today's diets do not incorporate a daily fiber intake. Full Core can help with fiber, its has 40%/ 10 grams of fiber in each 12 oz can.

DUCT TAPE WATERMELON PURSE TUTORIAL

Our daughter loves to do crafts, Here is a tutorial of how to make a duct tape watermelon purse which I got from Sophie World. 

First you have to make the Duct Tape Fabric. You over overlap the duct tape to make the bottom layer and then you cover the top with a layer of duct tape. And you will have Duct Tape Fabric. 

Print your watermelon template from Sophie World. Trace onto Duct Tape Fabric. Cut out watermelon template. 

Trace seeds onto wax paper to make it easier for you to peel off. Then take your black duct tape and put it on the wax paper and cut out your seeds for your watermelon. Leave some room so you can peel the duct tape off of the wax paper. Put your seeds aside and proceed to the next step. 

Finally take a strip of green duct tape for the rind of the watermelon purse. Place you duct tape onto wax paper and cut little slits so you can peel it off and put it on your watermelon purse. Cover the bottom with the green duct tape. This adheres the whole purse together. Start at the top of one side and work your way around the watermelon. 

Place your seeds on the watermelon purse and don't forget to cut out a bit mark for your watermelon purse. If you want that added touch. 

There is a video on Sophie World on how to make this too. 

This is not my design but something Ducky does enjoy doing. 

Have a blessed day!!!!

ANDEAN DREAM QUINOA GLUTEN/CORN FREE PASTA AND COOKIES REVIEW

What is Quinoa?

Quinoa [Chenopodium quinoa willd] has been enjoyed as an important food crop in the Andes for more than 6,000 years. More precious than gold, this powerhouse grain has now been rediscovered by the world marketplace because of its' delicious flavor and high nutritional value. Classified as a ‘super crop’ by the United Nations for its' high protein content, quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids, making it an unusually complete food.

Quinoa has been selected by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations as one of the crops that will play an important role in ensuring food security around the world in the 21st century. The National Academy of Sciences of the United States has rated quinoa as the most nourishing grain in the world.

Grown only in the Bolivian Andes, at an altitude of 13,000 feet, Royal Quinoa, which is the particular variety used in Andean Dream products, is the finest quality quinoa in the world. Royal Quinoa has larger seeds which contain more protein and amino acids than other varieties.

Quinoa Cookies
We’ve spun this healthy, golden grain into our Andean Dream Quinoa Cookies. The five flavors are all gluten free, and do not contain any dairy products, eggs, soy, corn or nuts. We have individually packed our cookies for you in a convenient single serving packet, fully recyclable. Perfect to grab for a quick snack, and for school lunches and backpacks!

Quinoa Pasta
Andean Dream Pasta contains 24 grams of protein and 21 amino acids in an 8 oz. box. Our pasta cooks to an excellent flavor and texture, never mushy. Especially easy to cook, it can be enjoyed year-round because it is versatile and light. Andean Dream Quinoa pasta is not only gluten free, but is also organic, and kosher. It is also completely corn and soy free.

My Review:

Thank You to Andean Dream for letting us review the pasta and cookies. 

We as a family have been trying to eat healthier and we are also trying to go gluten free. Andean Dream is one of our favorites. Since they have sent me there products, we have had to go back to the store for some more. Andean Dream in my opinion has the best gluten free pasta out there. When you cook the pasta it's the right consistency and taste delicious. The Quinoa Cookies are very good and healthy too. Andean Dream has several other favors in the cookies and they also offer soups too. 

Our Family does like to eat sweets but I know with Andean Dream Quinoa Cookies, I'm getting few ingredients and they are very good for my family. The Quinoa cookies are soft and delicious. I love that they are just the right size but still you get a little dessert. 

A healthy alternative snack!

Next your want to prepare the filling for your pie.
