A Cancer Journey Workbook – My Latest ebook

Have you or someone you are close to been diagnosed with cancer?

Are you overwhelmed with statistics and treatment options and crucial decisions that need to be made?

Take control of your health and your life with A Cancer Journey Workbook.

Being a cancer survivor myself and someone that has had friends and family suffer from cancer, I know that sometimes the worst part about having cancer is the overwhelming amount of information that goes along with it.  You are inundated with suggestions everywhere you turn from your doctors to your mother in law to the internet.  They all seem to have the answers for you but just as you are completely unique, so is the cancer.  It is your own exclusive brand just for you and how you react to the cancer, the treatments and the medications are also yours alone.  NO ONE can know how you will feel, how your body will react or what the future holds.  They can only give you predictions, not guarantees.

A Cancer Journey Workbook can help you deal with all the options and decisions you face and keep you organized through it all so you are free to fight with all you have.

Easy Fish Recipes – Cooking Fish in the Microwave

Prior to beginning our discussion, it should be noted that microwaves come in many different power ranges. It is difficult to cover them all. We will try to provide a variety of cooking times for different power levels, but at the least will identify the power level used. You may need to adjust per the power setting on your microwave.

Defrosting Fish in the Microwave

For most microwaves, the defrost setting is fairly consistent. Therefore the times listed here will be close for whatever microwave you have. Place the fish in a microwave safe container. In general, fish need 4-6 minutes per pound on the defrost cycle to get thawed. Half way through the defrost cycle, turn over and rearrange fish. Fish should be cold, perhaps even a bit icy at the end. If necessary, allow the fish to thaw for up to 20 minutes at room temperature. Do not leave at room temperature longer.

Cooking Fish in a Microwave

Just like when you cook fish in hot oil, in an oven, or on the grill, fish should be cooked at a high temperature for a relatively short period. The fish will continue to cook internally for some length of time after the microwave is finished. The cooking times listed are for a 700 watt microwave. It is assumed the fish has been previously thawed.

• Whole Fish = 6-8 minutes per pound
• Individual Fillets = 4-5 minutes per pound
• Steaks = 4-5 minutes per pound

The fish will be done when the meat is flaky. You can cook the fish longer if necessary, but do not overcook.

Salmon Steak Recipe

• Four 1.5 lbs salmon steaks cut approximately 1.5 inches thick
• Butter (1/3 to 1/4 cup)…No Fat Substitute Works
• Chopped Parsley
• Chopped Onion
• Diced Mushrooms
• Lemon Juice (2 Tablespoons)
• Salt and Pepper

In a saucepan melt butter and add parsley, onions, lemon juice, and mushrooms. Put half in the bottom of a bake dish. Lay in the salmon steaks. Season with salt and pepper. Add the remaining mixture. Cover the salmon steaks and place in the microwave. Cook for between 6 and 10 minutes. Let stand for 3-5 minutes covered. Check to see if the fish is flaky after it has stood for 5 minutes. If not, add time in one minute increments on the microwave.

This recipe can be used with trout fillets, halibut, and many other fish. Do not be afraid to experiment.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Hope everyone has an amazing, blessed Mother’s Day enjoying the day and their families.

Blessings to all…

Ray Reggie’s Favorite Charity

Just came across this article from 2008 about the Just The Right Attitude Food Bank.  It is one of my favorites so I thought I would share it.  Here is an excerpt from the article that is available in the Nola.com’s archives…

Woman’s bad times help others

Just the Right Attitude is more than a food bank in eastern New Orleans.

“Debra South gives out everything from hot meals to hugs,” Ray Reggie said. “She has a personal rapport with everyone. She understands what it means to need help.”

Ray Reggie (now Chairman of the Board of JTRA), managing partner with Premier Promotions, serves on the board of Just the Right Attitude along with Troy Duhon, president of Premier Automotive Group.

In 2002, when the men heard about the little food pantry Debra was operating out of her garage, they decided to offer her a space on the second floor of a car dealership. And Just the Right Attitude began to grow.

“We love her cause,” Ray Reggie said. “Everybody wanted to help.”

— Growing out of need —

The idea for the community resource began a decade ago with a trip Debra made to the food stamp office. She was a mother in her 30s fighting ovarian and thyroid cancer, and she’d had to retire from her accounting job. Her first husband had taken off, and she was surviving on disability checks and help from family and friends.

She didn’t make enough money to feed her son and daughter, but she was rudely told she made too much to qualify for food stamps.

“I felt so humiliated,” she said.

She promised God that if she got better she would find a way to help people who were hungry and struggling.

From that promise, and a few shelves of canned goods, grew a United Way agency that doles out hope and 2.5 million pounds of food a year.

When Ray Reggie asked a man what he’d do without Debra’s food bank, he answered, “I would be hungry.”

— Place to get a hand —

In April, Just the Right Attitude, with the help of Ray Reggie, moved into two buildings next to Toyota of New Orleans on the I-10 Service Road. And since then, Debra has been giving out lots of hot meals, boxes of staples and hugs….

==============================

I think it is good to remind myself why the work I do with JTRA is so important and this does. Have a Blessed day.

Healthy Broccoli

We may not all love broccoli but it is pretty well known that it is one of the best, healthiest foods that you can eat.  It is loaded with vitamins and fiber and low in fat and calories.  Like most vegetables that are dark in color, the dark green color in broccoli means lots of Vitamin A and Vitamin C. It is also almost as high in calcium as milk is.  Research is beginning to show that it may actually be anti-carcinogenic.  No wonder more and more people are adding to their diet even if they don’t like it.

Another incredible benefit of broccoli is that it is very high in phytochemicals, which are natural substances found in plants. This is important because phytochemicals appear to offer the body protection against certain types of cancers, and they’re also beneficial in prevention of heart disease.  So, buck up and eat your broccoli!  Try this great recipe I found at the New York Times website.
