Feeling Tired?

If you have been feeling tired lately, maybe the cause isn't working to much but the lack of water. The lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue. Statistics show that 75% of us are chronically dehydrated and that 37% of us have our thirst mechanism so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. Even mild dehydration can slow down your metabolism by as much as three percent. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger trouble with basic math or start fuzzy short term memory problems. You may even have trouble reading as your eyes can not focus without the correct amount of water in your body.

Not only does it make us tired but it can cause weakness of joints, pain and over eating. One 8 oz glass of water can shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of dieters. A recent study done by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle says, drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of breast cancer by 79% and 50% of bladder cancers. Research also states that intake of 8-10 glasses of water daily can significantly ease back and joint pain by as much as 80%.

So, drink up people, help keep yourselves in great shape by inviting water into your bodies.

Great Things to Come

We are experiencing a beautiful week end in Northeast Tennessee, wishing the same for you. It's the kind of day you want to be outside in the sunshine and leave all thoughts of what has to be done at home in the kitchen, well hidden.
Yesterday my friend Theresa and I did a cooking demo. Where we gave out lots of tips and ideas to help shorten the time needed in the kitchen, especially in the coming up holiday season. We will repeat this demo with new ideas, recipes and tips on Saturday, November 14. If you would like to be part of this event, please contact one of us at: 423-675-1696 or FayleeJames@yahoo.com for time info, prices and discounts we offer for groups.

Share your smile, it's to beautiful to be kept to yourself and enjoy the sunshine!!

Living Well, For Less

No matter the time of our lives, we all want more for our money. One of the best ways to do that is to learn to cook. When you know how to put a great meal on your table, going out and spending three times that much for the same food, looses it's appeal.
While I have eaten lots of good food at other peoples homes or restaurants, I prefer my own cooking. I know just how I like it. From just how much dressing to put on my salad to how much sugar goes into my dessert, it's all me.

You too, can have that same feeling with a few lessons. Come and be part of my cooking demo on Saturday Nov 14th. and 21st. to see how easy it is to cut your food expenses, to delight your family and friends with a great meal.

Getting Ready for the Holidays

Where did this year go? I'm having a hard time believing it's already November and the Holiday season is upon us. With all my children within 30 miles of me again, I'm looking forward to having one big Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner instead of as many as 3, when they were taking turns coming home. Some years it was one continuous meal from Christmas til New Year as most of my children worked in either the entertainment or retail business. This year will be different in lots of ways for us. I am going to be organized and get it done in an orderly manner, is what I keep telling myself but we all know I will be cooking up to and including the last hour, as most of you will be doing also.

One thing I am sure of, is having the goodies made ahead of time as I am using my half fast cooking method this year. By that, I mean, buying some of the items instead of making them from scratch. You never know what kind of good eats you can make using a pound of Almond Bark, a bag of nuts or pretzels, some raisins and a little cooking magic, until you try.

I'll be having classes the first three Saturdays in November. Come and let me show you how easy it is to impress your friends, neighbors and family with some Short Cut cooking.

If you would like more information on how you can be part of one of my Short Cut Cooking Demo's, please write me at FayleeJames@Yahoo.com or call me [423] 765-1696.

Looking forward to hearing from you and maybe trading ideas on how we can make life easier for the both of us.
