November 14, 2014 How I Try & Try to Eat Healthy While Having Cancer in my Bod

In the past two years I have tried a variety of methods to get healthier so that I can stay the course when the next round of fighting this battle appears.

One of them is and continues to be –eating healthy.

Now, that is not easy for me.  Because I love Burger King, and Wendy’s and all of those places that serve greasy junk food.  I did have one stretch of around three months when my daughter prepared low carb meals for me (she was also making them for herself and her family so I wasn’t taking too much advantage!)  During this time, I had good stuff like Spaghetti and Zoodles (which is actually zucchini cut in a tool called a spiralizer that makes the zucchini (or any other veggie) look like spaghetti.   It was great.   I bought a spriralizer for myself to make it too, but it has still not been used.   My maid, Zelda, is, quite frankly, useless!

Never used spiralizer ;-(

The other great meal that Rita made is called Fat Head Pizza

Mozzarella Cheese, whole milk, 1.5 cup, shredded
Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour - per 3/4 Cup

Garlic, 2 cloves

Directions

Microwave for 1 min, stir and then another 30 sec, stir (very hot!)

-Stir in egg & almond flour

-Wet hands and spread “dough” thin on parchment paper. It should spread evenly with dough-like consistency (if “stringy” then your cheese has hardened too much—just put it back in the microwave for maybe another 20 seconds)

-Dock (poke rows of holes) with a fork to avoid bubbling

-Sprinkle with garlic salt

-Put in 425 degree oven

-After about 8 minutes, check it and poke holes where any large bubbles may be.

-continue cooking for a total 12-14 min, or until slightly brown on top.

These two dishes are great and healthy- I am constantly asking myself why I am too lazy to make them!     Zelda just puts her feet up on the couch and reaches for the remote when I ask her!

However, there is one thing I do on a daily basis that does seem to help me.  I  drink apple cider vinegar.  Here is my easy concoction.

Fill up a big glass of water

Dump about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in the glass ( organic)

Sweeten with lemon juice and Stevia--- Drink it up!   I drink two – three glasses of this a day and it has a great effect on my digestive system.
