Raw Food is not only God’s main intended way of nourishing our body for fuel, repair, replenish, restore, recycle, detox, strength, order, balance, and the fight against cancer and disease,

but these wholesome organic ingredients in nature also shine bright across the spectrum of our eyes delight, like rainbows stretching across the sky after a rainy downpour….

Healthy wins top rating for intensity of colors, nutrition, antidisease properties, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, low carb, taste, beauty, variety, visuals, creativity, and textures.

Throw back to my previous French Culinary School training days, where a few of us culinary and baking students volunteered to make several hundred freshly made crumb topped apple pies for orders made for the Thanksgiving holiday from our school’s bakery!

It was sooo much fun!!!

That’s me on the left, and I loved piling high all that delicious sugary flourery buttery crumb topping!! Yummm!

Look how intense I get when I’m cooking and baking 😂😂💥

We made all the pies in ONE day!
Such a great memory!

When will my braces finally come off?😆😆

Life After Breast Cancer/Chemo:
I was strongly encouraged to get braces from my dentist after chemo, bcuz the chemical poisons injured my body as well as all the tissues head down to toes. This included my face and mouth… structures that hold the teeth in place.

My body was full of fluid chronically for three years after chemo stopped, from the widespread inflammation caused by so much destruction from the harsh chemo chemicals. I did not tolerate them well at all.

My teeth were pretty straight pre cancer, but chemo weakened the tissues of my face & mouth (along with body), and made my teeth shift dramatically after chemo.

My teeth Xrays were progressively worsening every 6 months at my checkups.
My dentist was very concerned.

So this is why I have braces for about 9 months time lolll.

Cancer is a very difficult diagnosis, and the treatments are freaking awful.

We survivors suffer a lot both during the treatments and also for years after chemo. We often have serious pains in different places, and our bodies and tissues are injured sometimes life long from the destruction caused by life saving chemo.

Just another month or two until my braces will finally come off! I cant believe how straight my teeth got.☺️

This selfie is a happy healthy day, and a day of gratefulness that I am alive & well, I can breath with ease, that my lab work is slowly improving after five years, and Im finally getting my body back in shape again after four hard determined years of daily working out each day in small amounts.

Warrior is a perfect word with how a cancer survivor feels….

Bcuz its a damn war we fight, both at diagnosis, treatment, and the rest of our lives as we manage our new health and body status as survivors. 🙏🏼💚🌿💪🏻

Life is a gift… dont waste one single day!!

JGD’s Smoothie Bowl Terrain served in a wine glass!

Gourmet Food Art that is as beautiful visually as it is healthy and yummy!

I used a delicious superfood snack by to create the base of this terrain, then loaded it up with frozen fruit smoothie, loads of fresh delicious fruit, chia, organic coconut, berries, nuts, h**p and much more!

Nutsóla little bites snacks are GF, nonGMO, plant based, & use clean ingredients only. They are a great healthy snack that you can eat right out of the bag to satisfy your snack cravings, or use it creatively in new ways just like I did here!

As a kid I always loved making sand art terrain’s. I would use all of my birthday money to buy diff colors of sand at the local aquarium and make lots of terrain’s with bright colored sand using old cleaned out glass jars and containers from our kitchen.

Today it is so much fun to relive a favorite childhood art activity, and bring it into my adulthood with my chef art & gourmet creations!

Rainbow Colored Beauty you absolutely want to eat!🎨

Super honored to be featured on Olivia's Organics]] website, Insta page, and newsletter!

Go sn**ch my recipe for JGD’s Easy Chicken Noodle Cure Soup on their website (link in Olivias Organics Insta bio) and also read my interview Q&A!🌷

I truly love this Olivias Organics company and their products soooo much! 🌿💚

I have been using their products weekly for a very long time for my chef work as well as my home cooking. The quality of their triple washed organic lettuces and their organic produce, as well as their other organic veggies and healthy drinks is unbeatable!
Seriously! Tops!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I try to make all of my favorite foods organic now, to cut down exposure to disease causing chemicals. I back this Olivia's Organics]] brand 100% with my recommendation that you will love their products as much as I do.

Their organic products will boost your body’s overall health by choosing top quality organic products over pesticide sprayed regular produce!

I love their cute logo too, and it always makes me smile whenever I see it on their package! ☺️

I have always loved drawing out my food ideas, and their logo reminds me of a drawing I would have done years back with my sketching and food art. 💚🎨

🌟Please go out and try Olivia's Organics]] products and let me know what you love about them too!

5 JGD’s Anti-Aging NATURAL TIPS to help you LOOK and FEEL your absolute best!!🌿

1- Clean up your diet!
Remove all processed foods, soda, sugary coffee drinks, fast food, pasta, bread, desserts, and stop eating SUGAR in all other forms! Sugar & Starches are the ROOT of all diseases like Alzheimers, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, autoimmune disorders, cancers, and many others. Minimize ALL sugar intake to a very small percentage of your daily intake.
2-Go Organic!
The foods you eat the most of choose organic variety, to reduce the amount of disease causing pesticides/fungicides/& chemical sprays you eat, which causes cancers, hormonal imbalances, and many diseases with long term ingestion.
3-Stop smoking!
That means ci******es, ci**rs, w**d, and EVEN EATING SMOKED MEATS! You must limit how much smoked meat you eat bcuz that is a source of carcinogenic smoke you are eating & putting in your body.
4-Exercise EVERY DAY.
Move More! Make it a goal to workout at a minimum of 3-5 times a week, alternating stronger workouts to less strenuous workouts, adding in light strength training using low weights to build muscle and aid in bone density support.
5-Destress!
Remove high stress triggers wherever you can. Find a career path that is less toxic, distance from hurtful people, talk to a therapist about your problems and concerns, and surround yourself with positive influences in your daily life. Walking outdoors on a sunny day, doing meditation, swimming, dancing around the house to some favorite music, and also yoga aid in calming the mind, body and soul for a happier healthier less stressful life!

Keeping A JGD’s Healthy Twist🌿💪🏻 with this Open-Faced Tomato & Cheddar Cheesy Everything Bagel I made using Royo Bread Company’s bagel!

I was thrilled to be asked to review Royo’s various bread products that are vegan, plant-based, low calorie, low carb, and keto friendly.

These breads are really a great HEALTHY alternative to your bagel and bread cravings, while supporting your focus on HEALTHY EATING and a healthy diet & lifestyle!

Overall JGD’s rating: 4 out of 5 stars
I highly recommend this low carb vegan Royo bread brand’s products as a great alternative to not eating regular full carb breads or bagels.

Keep putting HEALTH PROMOTING FOOD in your mouth, and say NO to foods that deteriorate your goals of a healthy weight and body!

The Royo brand breads definitely do a great job keeping a bagel and bread lover happy and satisfied, and keep a health focused eater happy too, while their bagel and bread taste is overall very good.
