Recipes for Health, Home and Happiness

Welcome to the Neighborhood News!

“To insure good health: eat lightly, breathe deeply, live moderately, cultivate cheerfulness, and maintain an interest in life.” ~Anonymous


Some of us go through life collecting recipes for all sorts of things, from every available source. The recipe could be from making a dish, to knitting a sweater, or putting our lives back together. Today, we bring different recipes for your enjoyment and discernment.


First, we have published author Cami Checketts, from “Fitness for Mom” who brings to us her article “Metabolism – How to Kick It in Gear.” Cami is a wife, mother, exercise scientist, and author. Her third book, The Sister Pact, is in stores now. She tells us: “Metabolism is basically how your body burns calories. Those blessed with a fast metabolism burn calories quickly and are able to keep weight off more easily.” Keep reading and you’ll find a fountain of information in there.


From “Every Day Food Storage.net” we bring to you this “Three-month Supply List”, which will give you an idea of the items you’d need to have a good food supply. One great suggestion is as follows: “When you buy, consider buying two—one to use and one to store.”


The last article is a Family Home Evening lesson. It is very simple and easy to make. The message is that we’re trying to follow the Lord’s ‘recipe’ for happiness. All you have to do is bake cookies as part of the lesson and then you already have half the refreshments!


As usual, on Fridays we at Positive Music and Downloads offer Free Download Friday. Please enjoy Chas Hathaway and his beautiful piano instrumentals, with the song "Chasing Light."
