Study Portal

 
If you were wondering why the (typically) chatty Butter Girl has been a little quiet lately, the reason is sitting above.  I have slipped into a study portal where my focus has been solely upon wrapping up my studies with the Nutrition Therapy Association. ...while at the same time, being available for my family and friends.  I will be heading to Austin at the end of this month and it will soon be show time for this girl! 
 
Rest assured, I will still be popping in to share some thoughts with you.  It is here that I find my respite from the towering books above.  (And those my friends, are not all of them...I was afraid if I added anymore, the pile would topple!)
 
I am still planning a lovely Mother's Day luncheon for my mother this weekend and I am looking forward to sharing more recipes with you to enjoy with your own mothers.  Even though we often find our schedules full, one still needs to take time to celebrate those that we love!
 
I will close with one last thought.  It is a quote that I have held dear to my heart for years.  I actually had it stenciled on a wall in my coffee shop...inspiration for me, as well as for those who passed through our doors.  I will tuck these words in my back pocket as I work through the next couple of weeks ahead. 
 
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams

  1. Holy tower of nutrition books! That looks like a lot of reading. What book is your favorite? :) Or are they all starting to run together?

    You rock, I love that you are following your own path and your own dreams. A lot of people don't have that type of courage.

    Ps. Jack mentioned you today. I told him he was going to the babysitter's and that she was a friend of mine (can you tell I don't use a babysitter that often?) and he said, "Con?" I really liked her. Are we going to Con's house? So sweet :) He remembers all the attention and kindness you showed him.

Supplement Store Grand Opening!

      SUPPLEMENT STORE GRAND OPENING   Well here it is....finally!  I have aspired for the longest time to make an addition to my website where you can order quality supplements.  REAL supplements vs. the pretend ones you pick up and throw in your shopping carts along with your toilet paper, light bulbs and frozen green beans at Wallie World! As a Certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, I am super excited to be able to offer these quality products to you.    Why do I want to make Biotics products available to YOU ?  Because they are REAL my friends, and to state it simply and honestly...they will make you feel great!  These superior products are all natural, organic, plant and animal based.   If you want to run like the wind from 6 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. every day like me...I suggest you give them a try!          More nitty gritty on these fabulous products:   Biotics Research Corporation has been a leading manufacturer of specially designed nutritional p

Pumpkin Doughnut Pleasure

Written for The River Current Publication      I think I have said this before, but I just have to say it again…I love all things pumpkin!   If one doesn’t share my love of pumpkin around this time of year, I suppose it could be a difficult thing.    All that one could do I suppose, would be to sit back and wait for the pumpkin madness to subside!   As we have slipped into the magnificence of a Mid-Western fall season, you will find in my kitchen simmering pots of pumpkin chili, pumpkin breads, pumpkin pies, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin coffees…well, I think you get the pumpkin picture!     For the last couple of weeks I have been craving a good pumpkin doughnut.   I have always been a huge fan of doughnuts, but in my quest for eating healthier, doughnuts are now a ‘once in a blue moon’ kind of treat for me.         I decided to try my luck at baking my doughnuts, rather than the typical fried version…making them a much healthier option.   What can I say…p

GARDEN BRUSCHETTA PIZZA

I have been inspired to create this blog, as a sort of 'branch' to my original blog... Marital Status: W .  I don't want others to think that my life is all about grief and sadness...I am forging forward with this new passion my Rick lovingly shared with me....health and wellness.  I am exploring options and opportunities that will enable me to share my previous love affair with food in a more nutritious and appealing fashion.  I am still an avid foodie, I am just a foodie in transition. I was a little surprised when my post entitled, Butter Girl Goes Organic had more views than many of my other posts.  When I shared this with my vibrant hairdresser; she replied, "Well yeah, people probably think it is something kinky!"  Really??  Call me naive, but that never crossed my mind and honestly, I don't like to think of what that could even possibly mean!  Oh well, I like to pretend it is because others have an interest like mine...creating lifestyle changes a
