Weekend Camping
Had a weekend getaway this past weekend camping in Morro Bay. Was going to cancel the trip after I found out it would rain over the weekend. It did rain on our way there, but stopped as soon as we arrived at the campsite, God’s timing was perfect. We set up our tent under clear skies and even captured some beautiful sunset pictures of the surroundings. In the evening, it rained all night while we were sleeping, and thankfully we didn’t get too wet. The next morning, we knew that it was going to rain in the morning, so we relaxed and joined an online Sunday worship service before packing up and hitting the trail. The whole afternoon when we were out on the trail, weather was perfect and we encountered stunning landscapes and breathtaking views, reminding us of the beauty of God’s creation.
Sweet Potato Harvest

Planted these sweet potatoes like 3 years ago and never harvested them until now!!! I thought I made the Guinness record for a sec, but I checked the largest one is actually 81lbs, so it’s nowhere close, but it should still earn me some bragging rights I guess
Not sure if it is edible though lol ![]()

How to choose oatmeal?

Oatmeal is a great source of whole grain and fiber. Fiber is good for lowering cholesterol, but based on the difference in Glycemic index, it can affect your blood sugar quite differently. Steel-cut oats are the least processed, offering a slow energy release with a low glycemic index, best for people with diabetes. Since it might be a little harder in texture, it needs to be cooked with extra water and for a longer period of time. Cooking in a slow cooker or an instant pot would be easiest. Rolled oats, steamed and flattened, cook faster but have a slightly higher glycemic index. They offer similar nutrition to steel-cut oats. Instant oats are the most processed and cook the fastest but have the highest glycemic index. Even though it seems like a healthy food, but it can spike your blood sugar.

Mindset Monday

In an era where some doctors are so focused on keeping patients on medication instead of emphasizing the importance of lifestyle change and the power of food as medicine, and the food industry prioritizes profit over health, the best solution for our well-being lies in reclaiming the connection between what we eat and how we feel. Educating ourselves, making informed choices, and advocating for transparency and integrity in food production are essential steps towards a healthier future.
Seeking guidance from experts can provide invaluable insights and personalized advice on how to navigate the complexities of food and health.
