There is something about Christmas that for most makes us feel giddy, excited, and anxious all at the same time. I am surprised at how some can barely wait for Remembrance day to be
over so that they can jump right into the Christmas decorating.
Every year it seems that some can't wait to get the lights on the house, the Christmas tree up, Christmas music playing, and baking underway and the faster the better! As I ponder about the motivation of this I found myself feeling a feeling. I sound like the Crinch who stole Christmas when his heart grew! But really there is something about Christmas after all the hoo ha, as Dr. Seuss would put it, that makes me feel soft and quite inside, at peace is the best way I can describe it. The more I think about it the more I realized this is why people start Christmas early, they want that joyful, peaceful bliss that comes with Christmas and who can blame them. In a world where daily demands are never ending and the necessity to be part of the social media world, seems to be "the end of the world" if your not part of it, is absolutely exhausting! Christmas gives us a much need break and seems to help us become more acutely aware of those who are less fortunate, which in turns makes us want to give to and help others in need. So if this is what starting Christmas early does, I say bring it on.

Collagen supplement by Bend
Build Healthy Collagen
Collagen production starts declining in your 20's by the age of 80 collagen production is reduced by 70%.!!
Research shows that collagen peptides can stimulate cells to increase collagen production when taken orally. Using collagen in creams on the surface of the skin is helpful, but cannot penetrate to the dermal layer of the skin where the collagen matrix is.
When collagen is consumed orally the collagen peptides are absorbed into the blood stream and reach the dermis where they stimulate production of collagen as well as hyaluronic acid, another anti aging component of the skin's collagen matrix.
Taking Collagen supplement is a must for anyone wanting to maintain youthful healthy skin.

Cinnamon Keto Swirl Cookie

Cinnamon Keto Swirl Cookie
by ketodietapp.com
- 3 cups almond flour (300 g/ 10.6 oz)
- 1/2 cup powdered Erythritol or Swerve, or other healthy low-carb sweetener from this list (80 g/ 2.8 oz)
- 2 tsp gluten-free baking powder (you can make your own)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp butter, ghee or coconut oil (28 g/ 1 oz)
- 1/4 tsp salt (I like pink Himalayan)
- 2-3 tbsp cinnamon
- Optional: Add a few tablespoons of water if the mixture is too dry. This depends on the almond flour you are using
Add the egg and butter and mix well using your hands.
Divide the dough into 2 parts. Add cinnamon to one part and combine well using your hands. Leave the other part plain.
Place both types of the dough in the bowl and cover with a plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 140 °C/ 280 °F. Remove the dough from the fridge and place the plain dough between 2 parts of parchment paper or plastic wrap and roll out until you create about 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick, 12 x 8 inch (30 x 20 cm) shape. I used a non-stick rolling pin and silicon mat.
Place the cinnamon dough on a parchment paper or a silicon mat and roll out into a similar shape. Lift the parchment paper and place the cinnamon dough on top of the plain dough.
Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side. Fold the edges of the dough in. Using a sharp knife, slice the cookies (each about 1 cm / 1/2 inch thick). Wipe the knife clean as needed to prevent it from sticking and ruining the pattern. To ensure equal amount of cookies, you can cut the dough in quarters. Finally, cut each of the quarters into 5 cookie slices
Gently press down the cookies to flatten.
Place them, pressed side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon mat. Transfer into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Keep an eye on the cookies - almond flour in prone to burning.
When done, remove from the oven and set aside to cool down. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. The cookies will first be chewy but will crisp up as they cool down.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
