It can even happen to the Diva...

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.

Lori Winders, "The Cooking Diva," is an international cookbook author, online entrepreneur, speaker and founder of Cooking What’s Left . She knows what it is like to sit across from a doctor telling her what all she can’t eat any more because she is “allergic.” And, asking the question, “What’s Left?”

She also knows that America is killing itself slowly with our fast-food, unhealthy, toxic laden diet. There are too many people young and old being diagnosed with auto-immune disorders, diabetes, Alzheimer's, lupus, fibromyalgia, cancer, and the list goes on. Something has to change.

Her goal is to make healthy eating quick, easy and available to anyone who wants to make the change. Keep up to date on the latest from Lori here at her blog…The Cooking Diva.
