Hello Followers,
As I woke up this morning, I kind of put my imagination in to gear for what I’m going to make for brunch.
The goal is to make it taste and look good as well as being healthy.
One way of living to the fullest is eating in a way that is satisfying and healthy.
Eating healthy doesn’t entail the daily consumption of boring and bland meals, such as steamed chicken and broccoli.
If fat loss is your goal, living a fulfilling life and eating awesome, tasty foods is very doable.
Eating healthy should please your palate and your fitness goals.
Do you have a healthy brunch that you would like to share?

JULY – 17th, Dan and I thought on continuing this segment with the series with some fun; What is it about July that’s so significant during this month?
National Ice Cream Day – July 17, 2022
Thanks to President Reagan, we celebrate National Ice Cream Day every third Sunday in July, meaning July 17 this year.
Reagan wanted to commemorate a treat enjoyed by over 90 percent of the US population.
In 1984, he decreed a day for ice cream, and his proclamation actually glorified the dairy industry in America.
In fact, Americans still lead the world when it comes to eating this frozen delight: 23 gallons a year to be precise.
Reagan also proclaimed July as National Ice Cream month, describing ice cream as ‘‘a nutritious and wholesome food enjoyed by over ninety percent of the people in the United States.’’
Since then, the holiday has sparked worldwide cravings and is traditionally celebrated year after year.
Standing in the frozen food aisle trying desperately to make a choice?
Or brainstorming how to celebrate this fabulous day?
Well, look no further.
Inspiration has arrived.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.
There’s no known inventor that can be credited with creating ice cream, unfortunately.
But the history of ice cream is as rich as gelato.
It’s been said that ice cream-like food was first consumed in China sometime between 618-97 AD.
The first dish was made from flour, buffalo milk, and camphor, an organic compound commonly used in lotion.
It’s also been noted that Alexander the Great adored ice and snow flavored with nectar and honey.
We’ve also identified that the Bible indicates that King Solomon enjoyed iced drinks during the harvest season.
Speaking of homemade, during the Roman Empire, Caesar would send people to gather snow from the mountains, just to cover it in fruit and juices.
Close to a thousand years later in Italy, Marco Polo had returned from the Far East and bought back a recipe for what we now know as sherbet.
It is assumed that this recipe developed into what we now know as ice cream which was once called cream Ice.
It was in 1660 that the general public was presented with ice cream.
An Italian man named Francesco Procopio Dei Coltelli decided to perfect a machine made by his fisherman grandfather which produced top-quality gelato in his café.
The recipe blended milk, butter, eggs, and cream and was sold in Paris.
The first mention of ice cream in the United States derives from a letter written in Maryland in 1744 by Governor William Bladen’s guest.
Then, the New York Gazette on May 12, 1777, printed the first advert for ice cream in the United States.
Following the American Revolution, ice cream became super popular in the US.
Dan and I just explored oatmeal ice cream.
We love it!

Growth is exciting; growth is dynamic and alarming. Growth of the soul, growth of the mind.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
The clock always ticks. There are times you don't hear it, and there are times that you do.
A clock is a little machine that shuts us out from the wonder of time.
We progress a step farther, in each tick of the clock.
Clocks will go as they are set, but humans, irregular humans, are never constant, never certain.
Time has its own dimensions, and neither the sun nor the clock can encompass them all.
Time is precious and is priceless, so Dan and I will continue each day to pull from a box of 365 inspirational quotes; one quote and share with you.
