Let food be thy medicine Podcast by Retired International Sicilian chef & Author Carmela D'Amore

In this episode of 101 Ways to Transform the Way You Cook.

Carmela 

Transformation does not happen outwardly until we have transformed inwardly.

Transformation requires 120 days, to make it a daily practice, when we allow change into our life, we become conscious of change.

Mantra:

I allow change to transform the way I cook I give myself 120 days.

Carmela

This is a real misconception that people think that if they eat healthy it is more expensive.

Calculate how much money we spend on take out if we do it 5 - 7 times a week.

we are looking at around 80 to 140 dollars a week, when we decide to buy fresh groceries and spend an average of 140 a week to 200 a week you will be surprised at how much you actually have brought home with you.

Investing is the key crating a new mindset is the turning point, adapting to the change is the turnaround, and implementing these steps will result in the final product, a new mindset in us to transform the way we cook.

Mantra: I will invest into my life and create the wellbeing I desire to eat healthy, nothing is as important as this.

Carmela

I believe that this is the story to everyone’s life, it is our journey in transforming the way we think about cooking.  When we choose to cook at home, we are actually choosing to take control of what we put into our food.

It will bring a sense of consciousness to not only what we eat, but also how we eat.

Time is a slave to our everyday.

Cooking is the opposite to time.

Cooking requires our attention and our devotion.

Investing into our life, into our family, into others.

Choosing what is important, and where we are going.

Mantra:

Time is my friend, I will wait and allow the transformation to take place, nothing is as important as this.

Carmela

It’s time for the pioneer/migrant woman to shine in us, in this podcast I want to inspire you, this is my intention to strengthen you to awake you as I share with you many things that I have been thinking about.

Here is my poem I wrote called Awake:

Will I awake before it’s too late?

And meet the Queen of my interior castle

Join me in this journey

Where grace & mercy wait for us

In our inner castle

Where St Teresa & John of the Cross

Left writings for us so that we would not get lost.

A gift for this present moment

The atonement

Do you remember your sacred vow?

The contract made to endow

Between this cosmic planet

As I stand waiting in my mantle jacket

Where do I begin?

I will rise to meet the inner beauty of my soul,

The gift she brings

Are far more greater than gold.

I will rise to greet this day,

That waits within my frontier

Even if nothing else seems as clear.

Perfect timing and synchronicity

Waits for my authenticity

I will rise to greet this divine appointment

And be crowned in my adornment

There is a castle in my soul

I must complete the sacred vow

I will remember the way

Please Saint Teresa help me pray

As I sit in this place,

Close my eyes

I wait for grace.

Grace lifts me out into the realm

I have been searching for is within

For this is the place to begin.

She has been waiting for me to come

And reveal the gifts for everyone

To remember why we’ve come.

Now I’m awake in this prayer

To meet with the extraordinaire.

Look out world as the journey is told

And I await for it to unfold.

Pioneer Woman Poem:

Pioneer woman she’s in me and you,

Together we will see this through

We are strong and courageous

Even if it took us… ages

We withstood the test of time

This is no crime.

This house of ours we built

Brick by brick, we built it , really, quick

Woman of strength and wisdom

She is the queen of her Kingdom

Surrender to the now

And you will see

That it is a gift

For you and me

When we allow

The pioneer woman did not have voice

Today we have a choice,

The slave is now the teacher

The servant the preacher

The orphaned child, has family

The abandoned child is the leader of the academy!

We will never be alone

For together we have grown

Pioneer woman that’s in me and you

Today we are now brand new

We are the mission

To see this vision

We are the alchemists

And the protagonists.

She has yet to be explored

Pioneer woman, she won’t be ignored

Knowledge and power she has gained

At last! She is unchained!

Through the years she has evolved

Her story is bold

So come on and gather the pioneer woman in you

Its time

For you to shine

The world is waiting

And yes, there is no debating!

Pioneer woman, yes that’s you!

My Mantra for this one is:

Fix your crown, 

dust the dirt off you

and claim your ground.

Have a wonderful day till we meet again.

In this episode of 101 Ways to Transform the Way You Cook, my intention for each episode is to unlock in you a place that you will desire to transform the way you look at food and life.

This episode is about what does a healthy eating pattern look like.

There is so much in this one that it is important that you always see you medical practitioner and know what is best for you.

This is only a guideline to assist you in your life.

We need so much in life:

My Mantra's:

Appreciation is the key, to transform me into the cook I want to be.

I draw strength from the love I have for my family this will transform the way I cook and live.

Life is about balance, we definitely need to re-evaluate what we want, desire and need in our life.

I love this episode so simple and easy it is.

When we loose sense of time and space we have given other things power from our life, when we gain it back we gain back the lesson, and more we have become the most important.

How do we find our food MOJO:

MANTRA:

I give myself the space to grow

Carmela

What we do with our time we ultimately give us the freedom we crave in life.

Mantra:

When time is my friend I am a better person

When we have time to be we are better people

Freedom gives me time to be me.

Enjoy

Being creative is my part in sustaining.
