with his strong winds blowing and the pelting rain and the raging surf! Wow. I'm a Georgia girl and have never experienced anything quite like this storm before. I am sitting watching the waves roll in and listening to the wind as I type this message for you.
I send out a prayer right now for anyone in this storm's path. I pray for peace, safety for you, your family, your pets, and your property. Remember God's power is still more powerful than Gustav!
We are trying to wait for the winds to die down a bit, and for the tornado warnings to expire, so that we can head back to Georgia. We may should have left yesterday, but being in the midst of this storm all night has given me a new sense of understanding and compassion for those who have been effected by hurricanes. It is truly nothing I have ever experienced before.
So, until I get home and can write to you again, stay safe, stay dry and stay healthy.
Love & Best Wishes,
Lori Winders

An Introduction To A New World Of Ingredients
I recently recieved an email from a customer asking about a pizza recipe that her husband could eat…
"…my husband has developed a yeast allergy so I was quick to find a recipe book to change his diet. One of his favorite dishes is pizza so I was wondering if I could use the Baker Mix as the dough for his pizza crust."
The Baking Mix from my Yeast Free Cooking Manual could definetly be used, but here is another idea for you to try. A recipe using Fearn Brown Rice Baking Mix. Enjoy!
2 1/2 cups Fearn Brown Rice Baking Mix ( or White rice, if preferred)
2 large eggs
2 Tb extra virgin olive oil
1 3/4 cups water
Preheat oven to 400°. Grease 4 regular round cake pans or pie tins.
Blend baking mix with eggs and oil. Add wqter and blend again until very smooth.
Spread the batter in the bottom of the baking pans as thinly as possible. Bake for about 12-14 minutes, or until dough turns light brown. Remove from oven and let cool in pans for 8 minutes. Keep the oven at 400°.
Top the rounds with your favorite toppings ( see ideas below). Sprinkle tops of pizza with any spices you choose and a drizzle of olive oil, especially around edges.
Place pizzas back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, adding cheese (if allowed on your diet) on top during the last 3-5 minutes.
**You can prepare the plain pizza rounds ahead of time and freeze.
Topping Ideas
Fresh Tomatoes
Oven Dried Tomatoes (recipe from my Yeast Free Cooking Manual)
Sliced Onions
Any Color of Bell Pepper, sliced
Artichoke Hearts, thawed and sliced
Nitrate Free Bacon
Freshly made Sausage (recipe from my Yeast Free Cooking Manual)
Fresh Garlic
Fresh Basil Leaves
Fresh or dried Thyme
Fresh or dried Oregano
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Salt
Pepper
Crushed Red Pepper
Cheese (only those allowed on your diet, if any)

Well, I have to be honest with you - Even the Cooking Diva gets under the weather sometimes.
Over the last several weeks, I have been traveling and around a great deal of people talking and shaking hands. And, the pollen season in Georgia has been unbelievable this year. So, even as much as I try to keep my immune system strong there are times when even I get the sniffles.
This last week, I had to just stop and rest and eat better. With all of the traveling and busy schedule, even I had succumb to not making the best food choices. And, I paid for it by being in bed with a fever and stopped up head all weekend.So, this week our family has gotten back on schedule and are eating the way we know we should.
Here is a recipe that I cooked in the crock pot yesterday. It is so easy and the house smells just wonderful as it cooks. I hope you enjoy it - and remember to slow down, take time for yourself, and take care of yourself. No one else will do it for you!
To Your Health & A Long Life,
Lori
Fiesta Chuck Roast
- Put a 4-5 pound chuck roast in the slow cooker. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
- Add 1 Tb. Onion Powder, 1 tsp. cumin, and 1 clove of garlic. Pour a can of Rotel tomatoes, or a good no vinegar salsa over the top and cook on high for 4-6 hours until the roast is falling apart.
- Serve over broken tortilla chips - soup style. Or, serve on a bed of lettuce with a few broken tortilla chips thrown in for crunch. Sooo good! I also topped mine with a big dollop of fresh guacamole.
- You could also add in some frozen corn, black beans or any other Mexican type veggie during the last 30 minutes.

I don't know if you are like me, but there are just some days when I have a pity party. (that's a southern term for feeling sorry for yourself) I question why I can't eat certain foods like other folks. Why do certain foods make me feel so bad. It's just not fair.Well, my husband got an email with the video that is below yesterday. It takes about 13 minutes to watch, but it is SOOOO worth it!!!! I have nothing to be upset about because I have to steer clear of a few foods. I can walk, hug my children, and so much more with very few limitations.I guess our only real limitations are truly in our mind and if we believe we can!!!! Enjoy this video of Nick Vujicic - it will brighten your day, maybe even your life!
