DEAR MAYOR Dear Mayor Robert Frost, I love Conshohocken. I’ve lived here all my life and I love it. Everything is so close to your house and everybody is so friendly. That is why when my Social Studies teacher, Mr. Alfarano, asked our class to write to someone in politics or authority, I decided to write to you. (By the way, he’s a great teacher.) I go to Norwood Fontbonne Academy in Chestnut Hill. I love the events you organize, like the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, the Christmas Tree Lighting Trivia, and the Halloween Parade. I try to go to all of them every year. The Halloween Parade comes really close to my house. I also really like the lights that line the streets in my neighborhood on Christmas eve. They go right past my house. I do many of your events every year. You’re a great mayor and your events are great too. Owen Helenski Dear Owen, Thank you very much for your kind words. Like you, I also have lived in Conshohocken all my life. The events we put on, like the Car Show and the Halloween Parade continue to draw large crowds from around the area and allows us to put the town in a good light while providing some fun filled activity for our residents. I appreciate you writing to me and if you have any questions I can help you with going forward, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Mayor Bob Frost.
ASK THE MAYOR By Mayor Bob Frost The purpose of this column is to respond to our resident’s questions, issues, and problems that may be easily solved or answered through my office. Please feel free to contact me with your requests and we’ll try and address them here, and possibly your question is on the minds of many of our other residents.

2017 BEST COMMUNITY FOR MUSIC EDUCATION The Colonial School District (CSD) has been named a 2017 Best Community for Music Education by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM). The program acknowledges schools and districts across the United States for their commitment and support for music education as part of the core curriculum. Established in 1999, the BCME survey is a nationwide search for communities who provide access to music education as an essen-
tial part of a complete learning experience and exemplify commitment and support for music education. All CSD elementary students receive music as part of their specialist rotation giving each student an opportunity to experience music representing diverse ethnicities, races, religions and cultures, styles and time periods. The opportunity for students to participate in band, orchestra and choral programs begins in the fourth grade.
COLONIAL ASSIGNED HIGHEST FINANCIAL RATING Moody's Investors Service has assigned an Aaa rating to the Colonial School District's $19 million General Obligation Bonds, Series A of 2017. Moody's has also upgraded the rating of the District's outstanding general obligation debt from Aa1 to Aaa. In upgrading the District to its highest rating, Moody's noted Colonial's large and growing tax base with above average resident wealth and income, healthy financial reserves and liquidity position, strong management and average debt and pension obligations. Also cited was the District's practice of multi-year budgeting and
capital planning. Moody's, judges obligations rated Aaa to be of the highest quality and subject to the lowest level of credit risk. "I have always known the District to have solid fiscal planning and budgeting practices," said School Board President Susan L. Moore. "This upgrade is further evidence of that. We are proud to be on such solid financial footing while maintaining one of the lowest tax burdens in southeastern Pennsylvania." Colonial is one of just seven districts in the Commonwealth to have an Aaa rating.

SERGE BIELANKO RETURNS HOME FOR LOVE CONSHY’’S MUSIC FEST The following was written by Serge Bielanko, a member of Marah. Use in its entirety or just use it to glean facts that you need. The Dave he mentions is his brother, who is also in the band. From the time we were born until our mid-20's, Dave and I were raised in Conshohocken. First at W. Ninth and Forrest St. Then at 8th and Fayette St. And finally, from the time we were about 13 and 11, at 8th and Forrest St. We went to Harvey Walker before moving to Ridge Park Elementary. We
both went to Colinal Middle School and PlymouthWhitemarsh High. We both played for years in Conshohocken Little League, Babe Ruth, Golden Bears football, and were members of Cub Scouts Troop 140. The town, as it was then, is still in our bones. It has always been a huge driving force behind who we are as people, our work ethic, our beliefs, and what our music represents. Conshy was a diverse, blue-collar place where a kid growing up had
Serge Bielanko, Marah every reason to believe that all American kids grew up in such a town. Later on I realized that wasn't true, that we were lucky, us Conshy kids. We used to have a garage band with our friends/Conshy natives, John DePietro and Kevin Duda. And we often fantasized about someday playing a big summer show at The A Field. We'd talk and
talk about it, about how magic that night would be if and when it finally ever happened. This is, in every sense of the word, a dream come true for a couple of Conshy guys. Tickets for the Conshohocken Music Festival are available at ConshohockenMusicFestival.com. By Serge Bielanko, Marah 6.17 | Conshy Courier | 5

TASTE OF CONSHOHOCKEN—- MARY WOOD HOUSE~ with Yaniv Aronson, Chair of the Conshohocken Plymouth Whitemarsh Rotary Club Jane Flanagan is the Councilwoman for Ward 5 in Conshohocken and a member of the Mary Wood Park Commission. On Monday, May 8, 2017, the Mary Wood Park Commission met with community, government, and business leaders, to solicit ideas on the park’s future renovations and centennial celebration. There will be a community-wide meeting on June 12th, at 7:00pm, at the Community Center (515 Harry St, Conshohocken) for public input. How is the Mary Wood Park House connected to the Borough? Mary Wood, widow of Alan Wood, Jr., donated her home and property to the Borough of Conshohocken and its residents at the time of her death in 1818. On July 4, 1820, the Borough officially opened the Park as the center for Conshohocken’s citizens for recreation, leisure activities, and civic organizations. For almost 100 years, the Mary Wood Park House, Community Center, and Park have provided Conshohocken residents with a strong sense of identity and community. Who are the Mary Wood Park Commissioners? Mary Wood’s will states that there are seven Commissioners: Borough Council President, two appointed Council Members and four residents at-large. The current Commissioners are myself; Council President Ike Griffin, Ward 1; Councilwoman Colleen Leonard, Ward 7; Joseph Collins, President of the Conshohocken Historical Society; and borough residents Julie Dickerson, Kristen Heal, and Jennifer McCracken. What is the mission of the Mary Wood Park Commission? The Mary Wood Park Commission’s mis-
Mary Wood House sion is to preserve and sustain the valuable gift of the Park House, Community Center, and Park. By following Mary Wood’s will, the Commission strives to keep her purpose in mind. Her legacy was to bequeath these grounds for the enjoyment of our residents. Our Centennial Project seeks to restore the Park House, renovate the Community Center, and revitalize the Park. Our other major goal is to have a Centennial Celebration on July 4, 2020. What has the commission accomplished so far? We were all appointed this March and have had three meetings so far. Our first two were organizational in nature. Our third meeting involved bringing in community leaders, Borough staff, and the Commission to begin the first steps of planning the project. Our next meeting on June 12th will be an opportunity for the citizens of Conshohocken to express
their thoughts, and ideas before we, as a Commission, make any decisions. What can community members expect at the community-wide meeting on June 12th? Community members can expect to be heard. The meeting will be interactive with ample time for collecting the residents’ opinions. Residents should feel free to email myself; Council Members Colleen Leonard cleonard@conshohockenpa.gov; or James (Ike) Griffin jgriffin@conshohockenpa.gov with questions or ideas. We hope to see everyone on June 12th! Jane Flanagan; Councilwoman, Ward 5 Member, Mary Wood Park Commission Jflanagan@conshohockenpa.gov

PREACH IT; POP-POP! I have never had the privilege of being addressed as “Dad,” or as “Daddy,” but, having entered into a marriage replete with three fully-grown stepdaughters, I have come to know the pleasure of being identified as “Pop-Pop” to my lovely little granddaughter. I am often queried as to how I should be addressed, being a member of the clerical cloth that I am, so perhaps I should prefer a more formal title, a privilege that few even to this day would begrudge me. It’s there; certainly if I want it. Many Conshohocken residents will address me as “Father,” given that most are selfdescribed Roman Catholics, but Baptist preachers have never applied such nomenclature. I try to explain without wishing to confuse; many, though, continue to so address me. Confused Protestants ask me the same question: “Are you ‘Pastor’ or ‘Reverend?’” I try my hand at a “teaching moment:” “Well; ‘pastor’ is used in a conversational context – say; when you are speaking to me on the street or at the door – and ‘reverend’ is used in more formal communication, as in the drafting of a written letter” … I shouldn’t bother! My Indian students were wont to address me as “the Rev. Dr. Lacey,” even though I am not a doctor of anything. I tried to tell them,
BY BRAD LACEY
but they rather endearingly and stubbornly liked the title, so they continued to use it … Ok; fine! I tell adults that they are free to call me “Brad,” but my favorite has become and remains “Pop-Pop.” It’s not very ecclesiastical, but it does get to the heart of what any true and sober ecclesiastic, whether Roman priest, Protestant vicar, or plain-old Baptist preacher is supposed to be about, which is living and preaching the exquisite love of Jesus Christ. Jesus addressed God as “Father,” and correspondingly taught us to pray, saying, “Our Father.” The word that He uses actually translates into “Daddy” and, while I don’t advocate using such translated expressions with linguistic literalness, I implore every believer to recognize that our relationship with God is grounded in the deepest swells of love that are best likened to the love betwixt a father and his child—or that of a grandfather and his granddaughter. “They could have called me, ‘Father,’” was God’s rueful sentiment in response to His people’s rejection of Him, clearly indicating His preferred mode of relations with the Israelites of ancient times.
Noted author Brendan Manning has commented that the height of Christian maturity comes when one appreciates that God is (to use his expression) “head-over-heels” in love with His people. The Holy Spirit attests to our hearts that we are the beloved children of God. And, one must add, is there any greater need today than a restoration of the concept and application of fatherhood? Some will disagree; I know … Still: Happy Father’s Day!

YOGA HOME FOUNDER AND CONSHOHOCKEN RESIDENTS KERRI HANLON AND SON SEAN DELIVER KEYNOTE ADDRESS AT 41ST ANNUAL CHOP CONFERENCE BY SARAH MCGLINCHEY Kerri Hanlon and her son, Sean, were the keynote speakers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)’s 41st Annual Regional Conference on Developmental Disabilities on Friday, May 12, 2017. Kerri and Sean delivered a presentation on Yoga and Mindfulness for All, providing an overview of the benefits of yoga and focusing on adaptive yoga, a yoga class at Yoga Home for individuals with mobility disabilities. True to the class and to the Yoga Home philosophy that “yoga is for every body,” the Hanlons had every keynote attendee, including professionals, teachers, students, and selfadvocates, participating in yoga poses, culminating with a sea of outstretched, raised arms as attendees touched palms to symbolize the community support that can be found in yoga. Kerri’s principles of adaptive yoga are grounding, expansion, balance, and rhythm. In the CHOP conference keynote, she emphasized that these principles aren’t all that different from the principles of all yoga classes. Yoga teachers aim to
12 | Conshy Courier | 6.17
offer students a sense of grounding, or a physical and mental sense of being immersed in and connected to the current moment, stretches that provide therapeutic relief and relieve tight muscles through expansion, balance poses that enable safer a safer transfer of weight when moving the body, and rhythm, a cue to continue to breathe steadily even when movement becomes challenging. “The message of yoga is that you come into your authentic self, and that you’re perfect exactly as you are,” said Kerri. When she first opened Yoga Home with co-founder Maura Manzo in 2014, she would bring Sean, 19, who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, to the classes that Yoga Home had on its regular schedule. Sean would participate in the postures and Kerri would help him adapt to a version that worked best for his body. But then Kerri, an advocate for individuals with special needs, decided to bring classes and workshops to Yoga Home specifi-
Sean Hanlon cally for these individuals, making yoga accessible for more Conshohocken area residents. See YOGA HOME page 13
WE ALL KNOW THAT EXERCISE IS GOOD FOR OUR BODIES. BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT IT’S ALSO GOOD FOR YOUR MIND? BY SEAN DWYER That’s right! Recent studies out of Princeton University have shown that regular exercise could help significantly reduce stress levels and anxiety. When we feel stressed or anxious, this is actually our brain kicking into a “fight or flight” mentality. It needs to react to your environment and what you are experiencing at the time. Regular exercise trains the brain to resist that “fight or flight” response when you’re faced with daily stressors. Our “fight or flight” response is hard-wired in our brains. It was developed ages ago, when we were faced with dangerous predators and needed to formulate an immediate plan for survival. When faced with a lifethreatening situation, our bodies would pump chemicals into our brain which would trigger anxiety, helping us to make a flash decision whether to fight or to flee. As it turns out, the more you
exercise, the less anxietyinducing chemicals are required to pump through your brain. This is because your system already knows that it’s in shape to deal with whatever danger may present itself—whether it’s the life-threatening dangers of our ancestors, or the imagined “dangers” brought on by the stressful lives we lead today in the modern world. The difference is so great that many people who exercise regularly are completely unfazed by stimuli that trigger stress and anxiety for inactive people! Isn’t it great to know that something as simple as exercise could be more beneficial to your mental health than any type of medication? Be sure to work that quick half-hour into your daily schedule and get that heart rate going. Your brain will be glad you did! Karate is an incredible way to work up a sweat and have fun while doing it!
YOGA HOME from page 12 To bring adaptive yoga to the greater Philadelphia area, Kerri flew to Minnesota to train with yoga teacher Matthew Sanford, a nationallyrecognized pioneer of adaptive yoga. Following the keynote address, Kerri walked a group of attendees stepby-step through an adaptive yoga class in a breakout session, with Sean participating as a student in the class. Since Sean is non-verbal, the breakout not only gave the group an understanding of what poses
Kerri offers in her adaptive yoga classes, but also how she offers them, seeking non-verbal cues and using reference points and trust that she’s built in her relationship with her student. It was a unique opportunity, as participants, including social workers, CHOP employees who work with children with special needs, speech therapists, physical therapists, and students, were able to see firsthand Sean’s response to yoga poses. Since Sean is confined to a wheelchair for most of his day, a state

that can be very constricting, lying on a yoga mat allowed him to find movement he normally cannot, and participants could see the benefit when his face lit up in a smile. “This is so new, this idea of adaptive yoga, when you look at the whole lifespan of yoga. And for me, it has been so apparent that as the population of yoga grows, it just makes sense that this field will continue to grow,” said Kerri.
THE CPW ROTARY CLUB INDUCTED TWO NEW MEMBERS The CPW Rotary Club inducted two new members, Alison Maher and Stephanie O'Hanlon, at its full-club meeting on May 15. During this meeting, the club also presented a check to Darren and Phyllis Sudman of Simon's Fund with the proceeds from the 4th annual Vegas in Conshy event, which was held on April 29th. Along with several other local clubs, the CPW Rotary also presented a check recently to the InterFaith Housing Alliance to help the organization with the purchase of a
van to help transport residents to school, daycare, work, job interviews, medical appointments, etc. For Rotarians at Work Day on April 29ht, the club began the installation process for a Little Free Library at the Conshohocken Community Garden. Be on the lookout -it should be up and running soon! L-R: membership director Matt Doyle, Alison Maher, Stephanie O'Hanlon, president Renee DeCoskey, assistant governor Matt Breidenstein

CONSHOHOCKEN CAR SHOW Believe it or not, this is the 16th annual Conshohocken Mayor's Special Events Car Show. Mayor Bob Frost and a small committee created this event with the people of the Borough in mind. In the initial discussions about the event, it was considered for one of the riverfront parking lots or somewhere on the outskirts of the Borough. Mayor Bob Frost thought it was important to have it in the heart of the Borough. He wanted residents to be able to walk right up to Fayette Street and check out some of the amazing cars that come out for the event. He wanted it family-friendly, and very Conshohockenoriented. In the years that Mayor Bob Frost has ran the event, there has not been any outside food vendors. Mayor Frost and the committee thought it was very important that all of the eateries along Fayette Street had a chance to show off their best stuff. So, as you are strolling along Fayette Street on June 3rd, stop by Lenny's and get yourself a pork sandwich. Stop by Pasta Via for a personal pizza. In the mood for a great burger, sit down outside of StoneRose and enjoy a craft beer while waiting for your perfectly cooked burger. Need a coffee... 'feine is right there. Masterpeace Grille has some great steak sandwiches and fries; Conshy Café has put
out a tent and has a variety of good food for the car owners and residents. We hope it's a warm day, and if it is, guess what, Scoop's is right in the heart of the Borough at 5th and Fayette. Looking for great Chinese food? Dragon Phoenix is right there, too. Want the biggest cheesesteak in Conshy? Pudge's is your place. If you walk up to the car show early, you can even get some pancakes at the Pudge's made by Bill Danitz who once owned and operated the 401 Diner at the same location. There is a Deli at 4th Ave that has had hot dogs over the years as well. Okay, back to the car show.... This year there is a special surprise guest...I guess it's not a surprise anymore: THE PHILLIE PHANATIC will be walking on Fayette Street, saying “Hi!” to all the little Phillies fans out there and maybe posing for photos with a couple of the cars. The South Philly String Band made such an impression last year that some of the car owners asked if they were coming back and they are. The South Philly String Band is a group of Mummers and they won 1st place in the String Band Division in 2016. What a cool group to see strutting up Fayette Street! A martial arts demonstration will be put on by DeStolfo's Premier Martial Arts at 6th Avenue during the course of the day and a group of Pin Up Pageant
Photo Credit: Brian Coll Models will be walking Fayette Street and posing with the cars and people. DJ Dale Sherry will playing tunes through the decades throughout the day. This is a great family friendly event. The cars start lining Fayette Street around 9:00am and stick around until the trophies are given out by Mayor Bob Frost. The trophy presentation starts
around 2:30pm and approximately 70 trophies are given out. We have seen some of the same cars and car owners come out to this event every year. You'll be surprised by how many of these cars come from our community. There will be vendors along Fayette Street, but no outside food vendors once again—just to keep it as “Conshohocken” as it can be.
Photo Credit: Brian Coll One more thing that Mayor Frost is proud of: for all the years he has been Mayor while this event has taken place is that even the trophies and T-shirts are all local, as Don Lens is printing the shirts and making the trophies. This really has become one of the best events in the Borough. There are a few other events that take over Fayette Street during the course of the year. A few others are hosted by Mayor
14 | Conshy Courier | 6.17
BY BRIAN COLL
Bob Frost and his Special Events Committee: events such as the Halloween Parade, the Christmas Tree Lighting at old Borough Hall as well as others. Come out this June 3rd and have a great time. Rain Date would be June 10th. Look for Mayor Frost, say “Hi” and tell him your favorite car; maybe it will lead to that car winning a trophy as Mayor Frost gives out a “Special Mayor's Choice” trophy.

DOGS ARE CREATURES OF HABIT I like to tell my clients when they first get a new puppy they should really pay attention to the habits you are creating from the very beginning. The habits and behaviors, whether they are good or bad, will most likely be what you can expect for the rest of your dog's life. For instance, if you begin by allowing them to jump on the furniture, or people, it will be very hard to change this bad habit as it grows into adulthood. It is confusing to the dog to allow them at times to jump on people, or things, and other times not to. Puppies and dogs learn from the boundaries that we set for them so being consistent early it will make the training for this much easier. The best thing you can do for your new puppy is be clear with the rules and to also be concise. You don't want to ask your dog to do something more than once because repetition of commands teaches your dog to eventually ignore them. You never want them to think that you don't care if they obey the commands or
not. Good habits, such as coming on command, should be rewarded using positive reinforcement such as a small treat or a happy praise. This will help you get your dog to listen the first time so that you are not repeating commands over and over. Keep in mind that dogs are sensitive to body language and your tone of voice, good or bad. During the initial training of your puppy, you want to be very generous with the treats and praises. Remember you are building a lifetime relationship with your puppy and the generosity will make them want to work with you even more. Your positive and happy attitude will translate to a positive and happy experience with your puppy. Short and successful training sessions are the most rewarding and you should ALWAYS end a training session on a good note. My training Philosophy is based on very simple common sense. Every dog deserves a well-balanced life, which includes daily exercise,

5 TIPS ON HOW TO WAKE UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED "Waking up on the wrong side of the bed" is a common saying that simply means you start the day off feeling tired, unhappy, uncomfortable, or grumpy. I get it. Life happens and sometimes it can seem almost impossible to feel anything but stressed. Well, I am here to tell you that it's possible to feel at peace, in a life full of chaos. By practicing a few rituals every morning, you can learn how to decrease your worry and increase your happiness. Here are 5 things you can do every morning to ensure you have a 'woke-up-on-the-rightside-of-the-bed' kind of day. Create a List of Daily Affirmations and Say One Every Morning Daily affirmations are simple positive statements that manifest a specific goal. Affirmations are meant to encourage a life filled with positivity and gratitude. I am a huge fan of affirmation statements and saying 3-5 of them during my daily morning routine. Not only do they help shift your mindset, but they also serve as daily reminders on what you are truly capable of. This ensures that you have an amazing day, everyday. 2. Take 2-Minutes Every Morning for a Mindfulness Meditation According to positivepsychologyprogram.com, "People who meditate are happier, healthier, and more successful than those who don’t." Not only has mediation been linked to a decrease in depression and anxiety, but it's also been known to help with one's physical
health. Maybe you've already tried meditation and decided (after a few frustrating attempts) that it’s not for you? Maybe you believe that you must be one of those people with a 'noisy' mind that just won’t shut off? Well… DON'T GIVE UP! Like any skill, mindfulness meditation takes practice - so try it again...and again! 3. Write Down at Least One Thing you're Thankful for Every Morning We all have those bad days sometimes. We are stressed out from work. We get yelled at by someone. We get into a fender bender. We step in dog poop. One of the things that can make a bad day much better is creating a list of all the things you’re thankful for. What things can you think of that you are grateful for? Are you loved? Are you in good health? Do you have a job? A roof over your head? Clothes on your back? Remember, gratitude creates a sense of calm and perspective that can be very effective on those especially stressful mornings.
4. Wake and Put on a Motivating and Happy Song! I challenge you wake up and put on your favorite upbeat song! While doing this it wouldn't hurt to shake your booty! Here are some happy song suggestions: Happy – Pharrell Williams Walking On Sunshine – Katrina and the Waves Love Shack – The B52’s I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor Three Little Birds – Bob Marley 5. Inhale an Upbeat Smell Ok, you're probably thinking “is this for real?” Well, believe it or not, some scents can actually improve your health! Specifically, essential oils. Essential Oils can have a healing effect mentally, physically, and emotionally! Try peppermint oil to boost mood and motivation. Put a small drop of lavender oil on your pillowcase to help you sleep better and relieve stress. Citrus fragrances, such as Lemon, have been known to help with moods and energy. Remember these daily tasks take PRACTICE so DON'T GIVE UP! Think of them as part of your morning routine – just like brushing your teeth!

REFORM FOR FAIR DISTRICTS BY NANCY MONTEMEYRE In a meeting at Penndale Middle School in Lansdale on May 2 organizers Paula and Mark Schafer outlined the gerrymandering process which has such a stranglehold on composition of legislative districts. “This results in unlimited lobbying,” said Mark Schafer, on the part of the people who draw the district maps. Fair Districts PA is a nonpartisan, statewide coalition of citizens and organizations run by the League of Women Voters. Priorities for Redistricting Reform: Assign the redistricting power to an indepent commission, of which nei-
ther the commissioners nor members of their families, may be government or political party officials. Ensure the transparency of the process and meaningful opportunities for public participation. Conduct redistricting once each decade, following the census, with strict timeline for completion. Address other causes of districting unfairness. Act now by joining a local group where you live, or start one of your own. Fair Districts PA offers guide for organizing, contacting legislators, writing letters Visit www.FairDistrictsPA.com to get started.

HEALTHY SUMMER SNACKS—- MAKE-AHEAD MEAL IDEAS With spring nearing its end and summer quickly approaching, most of our social schedules begin to fill up with friendly get-togethers and parties. While I love seeing my friends and certainly love the lack of snow risk, it can be hard to find meals that are healthy, can be made ahead, and appealing to all your guests! But look no further! Here are 3 recipes that you can make with common and well liked ingredients!
Gluten Free-no breading”Chicken Tenders
Ranch Spinach Dip:
Line a baking sheet pan with a piece of parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Scramble the egg in 1 bowl. In separate bowl or food processor, mix all other dry ingredients. Dip chicken in egg, the dry mixture and coat all sides. Lay chicken out on the baking sheet. Drizzle cutlets with melted coconut oil or EVOO. Bake for 20 minutes until crispy and internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Chicken is high in phosphorus, an element that is essential for bone and teeth health due to its ability to balance calcium levels in the body. You can also get B6 from chicken. B6 can support metabolism, decrease homocysteine levels (a hormone found to be high in patients with heart disease), enhances the levels of serotonin (which can cause better moods), and support resolution or prevention of arthritis.
1 cup plain yogurt (cows milk, coconut, or almond milk) 1/2 cup frozen spinach, WELL DRAINED 1 tbsp Parsley, fresh 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp Dill, fresh, chopped 1/4 tsp Garlic powder 1/8 tsp sea Salt 1/2 tsp Pepper Let spinach thaw to room temp (about 15 minutes). Meanwhile, mix all other ingredients in a bowl. Add spinach to a dishtowel. Wrap and squeeze over sink as tightly as possible to squeeze out excess water. Add to mixture. Best if you let sit for 2 hours before serving. Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve with raw veggies. Spinach is low in fat and even lower in cholesterol. Spinach is high in niacin and zinc, as well as protein, fiber, vitamins A, C, E and K, thiamin, vitamin B6, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and manganese.
2 lbs cleaned chicken tenders 1 egg ¼ cup plain almond flour 1 cup oats, ground in food processor ½ cup almonds ¼ cup nutritional yeast 2 tbsp olive or coconut oil. 1 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (with no salt added) 1 tsp sea salt 1 tbsp black pepper
Paleo & Gluten Free NO RISE Pizza Crust: 2 cups almond or chickpea flour 1/2 cup arrowroot powder 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 1/2 tsp. sea salt 1 1/2 tsp. oregano 1 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 tsp. black pepper 2 eggs 1/4 cup olive oil (or coconut oil) 1/4 cup warm water (approx.) Add dry ingredients to stand mixer and mix on low thoroughly. Add eggs, one at a time and mix. Add olive oil and mix. Add water slowly until dough comes together. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle chickpea flour on your cutting board or counter and roll dough out
with a rolling pin (can use a large refillable water bottle if you don't have a rolling pin!) Add your dough to a thin baking sheet or round pizza pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F. Remove from oven and top with tomatoes sauce, veggies, and cheese (or vegan cheese). Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. This recipe is gluten free! A great option for those allergic or intolerant to this protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Pizza is a wonderful vehicle for TONS of nutrient filled veggies. Tomatoes have a potent antioxidant called LYCOPENE that becomes MORE active when cooked and in the presence of fat. Add your favorite tomato sauce (make sure there is not added sugar, citric acid, or preservatives) to this recipe and enjoy the health benefits! Submitted by Jessica DeLuise, MHS, PA-C
