INNOVATIVE 3G MOMS: A DYNASTY IN THE MAKING.

(Click the link above to buy the cookbook or scroll to the top right hand corner of this blog or if you choose to buy it from amazon.com, type '3g moms recipes' in the search box)

We are three moms with a passion for health and creativity who found themselves on facebook and became sisters: I can still remember how it all began but I will save that special story for another time. The 3G MOMS are, Maureen, 40, Therra, 36 and Bernice, 33. We are originally from Cameroon, West Africa. We are super creative, super innovative and do not believe in adhering to rules that stunt our passion and purpose. We are free spirits. You can read a little more about each one of us in the biography section of the cookbook.

**THE VERY FIRST COOK BOOK EVER TO DELIVER RECIPES IN 3 DIFFERENT WAYS**

The 3G MOMS' cookbook(s) is our very first product in the line of many. Our cookbooks are meant to satisfy the taste buds and/or curiosity  of every food lover. Our cookbooks are very unique in that we deliver each recipe in three different ways; GLUTEN-FREE, EXOTIC & VEGAN. There is no cook book out there like ours, we are the pioneers in this genre and we will be bringing you many beautiful recipes and ALWAYS IN MULTIPLES OF THREE (3).

3G stands for: GLOW, GROW, GIVE; all attributes of 3G MOMS. Are you a 3G MOM? Would you like to become a 3G MOM? We will be conducting future contests to feature other 3G MOMS from around the globe as soon as we launch our website.

*A special THANK YOU to all those who have supported (and continue to support), encouraged (and continue to encourage) and inspired (and continue to inspire) us every step of the way*

MAUREEN

GFP™ aka GLUTEN-FREE POWERHOUSE.
A gluten-free diet is a diet completely free of gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat (including kamut and spelt), barley, rye, malts and triticale. Gluten is also used as a food additive in the form of a flavoring, stabilizing or thickening agent, often hidden under "dextrin". A gluten-free diet is the only medically accepted treatment for celiac disease, the related condition dermatitis herpetiformis, and wheat allergy.

Additionally, a gluten-free diet may exclude oats. Medical practitioners are divided on whether oats are an allergen to celiac disease sufferers or if they are cross-contaminated in milling facilities by other allergens.

My goal is cooking creatively for Healthy Living (with LOVE & PASSION); while maintaining the delicious flavor/taste of herbs & spices provided so generously by Mother-Nature!!!

FYR™ aka FOREVER YOUNG REVOLUTION
Change the way you think about food and change your body/life. You are either eating your food or your food is eating you. The goal of FYR is to get you to love yourself a little differently. We believe that self-love is the best form of gratitude. FYR specializes in mostly vegan/raw recipes and raw desserts. A vegan is someone who chooses to avoid using or consuming animal products; no diary, no meat, no fish. VEGANISM. To read more about the FYR lifestyle you can purchase the FYR e-books from the right hand corner of this blog. FYR is also pronounced 'Fire'. I have included many dessert recipes here on this blog and in our 3G MOMS cookbooks as well. Would you like to feel and look years younger than your biological age?  You can if you choose to. You can make the choice everyday with your fork, spoon, books you read and what you watch.

Thanksgiving Part 1

In the USA, Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. The first Thanksgiving in the USA was a feast in 1621 shared by the Pilgrims (who had recently settled Plymouth Colony in what is now Massachusetts) and the Wampanoag Indians, who shared their corn, squash, and wild turkeys. This first feast was not repeated until over a decade later. Thanksgiving was declared a national holiday in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln (my favorite president)

No matter what your circumstances are I'm sure we have something or somethings to be thankful for. I have so much to be thankful for this season because this year turned out to be my very best year yet. Anyway what are you cooking for Thanksgiving? Please feel free to send me pictures of your Thanksgiving table, I will be doing a post-Thanksgiving blog post and will love to showcase all your lovely pictures.

This year we are going African. Stay tuned for pictures in the next blog. Here are my 3 favorite routines for keeping the pounds away during this season:

1. Exercise: This will be easy for those who already exercise regularly. Exercising first thing in the morning keeps me aware of whatever I put in my mouth throughout the day.

2. Divide and conquer: My Thanksgiving plate is always half filled with veggies and salads, I actually consciously eat a big plate of salad fist before I eat anything else, it keeps me full and whatever I eat next is usually a smaller portion.

3. Don't drink your calories: My favorite drink is water, ask anyone who knows me. Stay away from the sodas and alcohol. If you want something sweet try a raw or vegan dessert or a fruit and yogurt combo with some nuts or if you have enough self-control go for the dessert but drink a lot of water before you get a slice.

RAW MANGO PIE

Crust:

* 2 cups raw almonds (or walnuts or pecans)

* 1 cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut

* 1/2 cup pitted dates

In a food processor, process the nuts and coconut together until the lumps are gone. Do not over process. Add the dates and process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs that stick together. Press into a pie plate.

Filling:

* 2 fresh mangos, peeled and cut up

* 1/2 cup dried mangos, (cut into pieces with scissors), soak 10 minutes and drain sliced kiwifruit, raspberries or blueberries (optional)

In a blender, process the fresh and soaked dried mangoes until smooth pudding consistency. Pour into the crust and decorate with kiwifruit, raspberries or blueberries if you wish.

Here's a little something that cracked me up:

 A BLESSING FOR YOU THIS SEASON

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face;

the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,

may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

ALWAYS STRIVE TO BE HAPPY

REMEMBER TO EAT AND DRINK TO YOUR HEALTH, YOU'LL THANK ME LATER!

FINDING 'NARNIA'

Our Tour guide, Ms. Nina

 Hello lovely people, how is your weekend going? Mine is going great. Had a very productive morning starting with a 40 minute run and then a big glass of raspberry smoothie.

RASPBERRY SMOOTHIE:

1 cup soy milk (vanilla flavored)
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1 Tbsp flax seed oil
1/2 banana (optional)

Went out on a lunch date with Nina and then window shopping. It was on our way back home that we came across a little piece of heaven. We've now added it to one of our favorite places. We walked through the doors of this small store, or so we thought, and it was like going through the wardrobe and discovering Narnia! It was a splendid surprise indeed.

Good luck if you can read this from your computer...it is a great prayer though

Nina, very excited

Vases

Lovely colors

Candles, scented
