Happy Earth Day!

Another year to celebrate our beautiful Earth!

How much time do we give to Mother Earth? The very planet that allows us to experience such natural beauty?

We should take time today, and every single day, to appreciate the time we get to walk on the natural pathways, the incredible vistas just right outside our backyard, the flowers blooming everywhere, the fresh new leaves on every tree, bush and plant.

Earth is Blooming! And we get to witness this beauty each and every year. We may get too tied up with our daily lives to really stand in appreciation of what is really happening before us... but if you catch yourself thinking about her, about Mother Nature, Mother Earth... than say "Thank you."

What is your Favorite place to experience Mother Earth? The Mountains? The Beach? The Trees? The flowers? Whichever is your favorite, be grateful.

Mother Earth gives to us freely, unconditionally, never asking for anything in return. She has many, many lessons to share with us all.

In honor of Earth Day 2021, Celebrate! Throw Earth a big party! Make a good meal, make an Earth cake! The key is to simply enjoy, celebrate and honor our big beautiful planet!

How do we take care of Mother Earth? There are so many ways to show our appreciation! Be creative! Get moving! We can help clean up, there is always debris that can be cleaned up. She appreciates this. There are groups available where you can really get involved to help make Earth

a better place.

Do some fun research and find what connects to you! You will know it when you see it. The whole point is to do something positive, good and kind to help Earth be it's best for us and for our future generations.

Mother Earth, I love and appreciate everything you are, everything you give, and all the beauty you create for us all to experience. Thank you for YOU!

Friends have Fun today! Make it AWESOME!

Let's make Homemade Raspberry Cheesecake Ice Cream!

It's a perfect Tuesday! Perfect for making Homemade Raspberry Cheesecake Ice Cream!

With the new business on the horizon I am experimenting new ice cream recipes and today's play in the kitchen will include some of my very favorites: Fresh Raspberries, Cream Cheese, milk, cream, vanilla and sugar. Wholesome ingredients, pure, no harsh chemicals, additives or preservatives... just real good deliciousness!

Ok, so who's ready for this beauty? Let's get started...

Today I'm using my brand new ice cream maker from Nostalgia, which I purchased on Ebay (link) for about $40. I did some research on this machine and compared to a fancy $300 machine this one came out ahead, making ice cream faster and much more creamier. I was sold. I like quick, easy and fast recipes without sacrificing delicious taste. So I got it and now I'm ready to see what this baby can do!

So for today's recipe we'll need

4 oz softened cream cheese

1/2 cup condensed milk

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup 2% milk

1 cup frozen raspberries

1 Ice Cream machine Nostalgia brand

1 bag of ice/ approx 10 cups

1 container of table salt or rock salt

To Prepare: Place Ice Cream metal canister in freezer for 30 minutes prior to making recipe.

To Make:

Whisk softened cream cheese until smooth.

Add 1/2 c Condensed milk and whisk.

Add 1 cup frozen raspberries and mix together

Add 1 cup heavy cream and stir.

And finally add 1 cup of 2% milk and stir well.

Next:

Bring metal canister from freezer to counter and pour ingredients into container and add lid.

Set into Ice Cream bucket into the notch at bottom.

Get your ice ready to start layering.

Add a layer of ice around canister about 2 inches tall.

Pour salt on top of ice. About 1/4 cup of salt.

Layer more ice. Add more salt.

Keep layering until you get to the top.

Attach churn motor on top of canister inserting the turning mechanism into the top of the lid opening.

Connect to power outlet to start and let run for 30 minutes.

That's it! Once it's done, you'll have creamy, delicious amazing Homemade Ice Cream!

Believe me, once you have homemade ice cream, you won't want to buy the store brands.... plus you'll be eating something wholesome, with pure ingredients... that's a huge plus!

Ice cream brings Joy to the world... it's a nice place to be. Just sit back are savor the deliciousness of this natural ice cream and breathe in the beauty of life. Live in the moment... the sweet, delicious moment of your beautiful life!

I hope you make it and share it. Share the joy of goodness and bring smiles to life!

Happy Tuesday!

Movement Monday- Let's get moving

Happy Monday Friends!

Today is the message you've been waiting for.. it's time to get up and start moving. Start walking, stretching or dancing, just move.

Monday is a great motivator to begin your fit and healthy routine... what will you do today?

I recently purchased a new fit tracker to keep me on my toes. No I don't have an Apple watch yet, or a fitbit, but I found this Amazon Deal for a reduced price and on the Letscom Fitness Tracker. I looked pretty good on the ad so I went ahead and purchased it for $25 (org $35.00)

It was easy to set up and after charging for about half and hour, I was ready to go. It's comfortable, nice color, easy to read and has so many functions.

I purchased it to keep a close count on my steps, but it also keeps track of my heart rate, my distance, my calories,, plus I can set alarms to help me stay on track.

It also alerts me when a phone call or text is coming in, which is great if I'm expecting a call or text and my phone is charging or not within reach.

As you can tell, I'm please with the first look, so now, let's get moving and start counting those steps.

Since I write a lot, I am setting my daily goal this week to 3,000 daily steps and I know this will keep me on track.

I'm off to do some errands and test this little device. I’ll come back and update it a bit later!

Have a Fabulous Day Friends! And I'll see you tomorrow!
