 ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6TH, 2023

The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades.  May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks,  and boring grays of your every day.

Slightly adapted from one of my morning devotionals

40 DAYS UNTIL SPRING 

In Ohio

 Sunrise:  7:34 am

 Sunset:   5:50

Life is a special   

occasion!

Hallmark!

Today is National Frozen Yogurt Day which honors the health conscious trend spurred by the creation of this frozen treat.  It didn’t gain widespread popularity until the 1980’s, when recipes improved to the frozen yogurt we all know and love.

Frozen yogurt has come to be eaten almost as much as ice cream, and is served in many flavors and varieties.  Frozen yogurt  is a great source of calcium and potassium, but remember to still enjoy in moderation.

You can eat it plain, or add topping such as fresh fruit, fruit sauce, nuts, coconut, whipped cream, whatever you like.  With a vast varieties of flavors, there’s sure to be one out there for you.

Celebrate this day and enjoy some frozen yogurt.  It’s healthier for you

If you cannot see the bright side, polish the dull side

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

 I just got tired of being overweight and unfit, so I changed my diet from hamburgers to yogurt and muesli, and it seems to work.

Peter Jackson

 I only have regular yogurt today not the frozen variety, but I’ll celebrate because it is a healthy treat to enjoy.   For me I choose the no sugar and Greek style to eat.  I like it very much. and it’s been proven that it is good for us 

On the menu for today is:

Chicken Egg Roll in a Bowl

2 1/2 cups cabbage, chopped

2/3 cup carrots, grated

8 oz chicken breast grounded or chopped

1 Tbsp. tarmari sauce

1 cup cauliflower, chopped

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 scallions, chopped

Optional turmeric and crushed red pepper flakes

Chop all vegetables and chicken if not ground

In a large pan heat the olive oil at medium high and saute the garlic for 30 seconds, then add the cauliflower and chicken.  Saute about 5 minutes.

Add the cabbage, carrots and stir in the tamari sauce.  Cover with a lid and cook for about 8 more minutes or until chicken is done.  

Option turmeric and red pepper flakes.

Serve with sesame seeds and scallions.

I opted out of the sesame seeds, tamari sauce, turmeric, red pepper flakes and scallions.  

I do love chicken egg rolls so this should be very good, only a healthier option.

I have no yogurt pictures to share so I’m showing some pictures of a sunny February day here at my house.

I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week.  Happy Monday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

One of my favorite snacks is Chobani yogurt with bare naked granola, because it has all the all the nutrients I need; it’s all natural, and it has a lot of protein.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for.  There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

11,031.  for yogurt, a healthy snack 

11,032. for healthy recipes to eat 

11,033.  for plenty to do, I’m never bored 

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!

ADVICE FOR TODAY

Life is half delicious yogurt, half crap, and your job is to keep the plastic spoon in the yogurt.
