If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

A Wintery Kids’ Cooking Class – Day 2- AND Summer Camp Dates!
Today, on this coldest day of the season, we created our own enchiladas and ended on a sweet note with our Mexican hot chocolate! The girls had the opportunity to fill their tortillas with a variety of fillings:
- reduced-fat cream cheese
- shredded 2% cheese
- shredded chicken
- spinach
- tomatoes
- black olives
- black beans
- corn kernels
I used my chicken verde enchilada recipe as a basis for our lunch today, but since each child is particular about their likes, I gave them the opportunity to be creative with their own enchilada. Giving them a choice is almost a guarantee that they will eat what you serve!
And to add some sweet warmth to this chilly day, we brewed up some Mexican hot chocolate!
When’s the Next Class?
I am planning on doing two “camps” this summer. Each 4-day camp will be 2 days of cooking like I did yesterday and today, 1 day of meal planning (the kids will choose from one of three menus) and grocery shopping, and the 4th day will be making what they planned and shopped for. The cost will be $50 per student per camp, or $90 for two siblings. Right now, the tentative dates are:
Tuesday, May 29th-Friday, June 1
and
Monday, June 18th- Thursday, June 21st*
Each day will start at 10:00 and will end at noon. This is a hands-on class where they learn cooking and baking techniques, how and why to make healthy food choices, and have the opportunity to enjoy and savor their handiwork!
*Due to my husband traveling 4 weeks out of the summer, these dates are subject to change.

Garlic Toe Jam
Late yesterday afternoon, I felt congestion setting in and my voice beginning to go. Thankfully this is happening now and not next week right before my marathon! In order to recover quickly, my two weapons for fighting an oncoming cold are zinc and garlic. (And lots of hot tea too!)
Zinc – Zinc lozenges and syrup interfere with the cold virus’ ability to multiply within the nose and throat. I try to take one every 2-3 hours.
Garlic – It is a bit smelly, but I crush garlic, mix with a bit of olive oil, place on the bottom of my feet, and put on socks. The skin on the bottom of the feet is quite permeable and the garlic is able to seep into the body more quickly. Garlic’s anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-viral properties stem from a compound called allicin. Allicin is produced when the garlic is crushed or chopped. And, as I said, you will stick, but stinky-ness is better than sickness 🙂

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween!
Enjoy your fun size bag of M&Ms and your mini Hershey’s bar today! Remember that just because you have a small treat or two doesn’t mean that you’ve blown it for the day and might as well eat whatever for the remainder of this Halloween. You can enjoy a little candy and still not fall off the wagon (or hayride!)

‘Eating Clean on the Cheap’ #2! – Greek Nachos
If the Oktoberfest feast was a bit too involved for you this week, here is another clean meal that you can throw together quickly – my Greek Nachos.
So before you head to Publix, write these sale items on your list to make this fun and filling finger food:
- spinach
- tomatoes
- Stacy’s pita chips
- Publix hummus
- Jennie-O ground turkey
- Voskos plain Greek yogurt (for the tzatziki sauce)
What a week! Two clean meals on the cheap- gotta love it!

The “Tricks of the Trade” for Halloween Bags
We already have a couple of pounds of Halloween candy in the kids’ trick-or-treat bags. Thankfully, they like to organize it more than they like to eat it! When you begin to rummage through those trick-or-treats totes, it’s great to have a plan in place to work off those extra calories that are quickly ingested, but not-so-quickly burned off. So, here is a “trick” to keeping those scary pounds off during Halloween:
| Candy | Calories | Minutes Walking* |
| Smarties- 1 roll | 25 | 7 |
| 1 Hershey’s miniature | 42 | 11 |
| Blow Pop | 60 | 15 |
| Snickers Fun Size | 72 | 18 |
| M&Ms Fun Size | 90 | 23 |
| Candy Corn (22 pieces) | 165 | 41 |
| Reese’s PB Cup | 210 | 53 |
*For a 130 lb woman at a 3mph pace
How about trading some of those traditional treats for new ones? One of my favorite sites, Organic Deals, posted some great organic swap-outs for your conventional Halloween staples. My kids love the Yummy Earth Organic Lollipops and Annie’s Organic Gummy Snacks!

A Long Run and A Hot Cup of Coffee
So my SIL and I had a short, long run this morning (14 miles scheduled, but she is running the Chicago 1/2 marathon on Sunday and I had to be back home at 7:15 so Scott could talk at Satellite High’s FCA, so we only did 7 miles). During this time, we had a very deep, theological discussion about coffee. I promise you that there is something extra wonderful about a hot cup of coffee after cooling down from a long, hot run- even on a Florida summer day. Terri talked about how a cup of coffee is a heavenly sensory experience. From the smell, to the taste, to the warmth, it provides a mini-vacation from all that surrounds us and awaits us. Running and coffee…2 of my favorite things!
