FROM THE NUTRITIONIST Paula Hendricks, BS, Nutritionist-C The Secret of Making Dreams Come True: As Walt Disney said, The secret of making dreams come true can be summarized in four Cs. They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage and Constancy, and the greatest of these is Confidence. When you believe in something, believe in it wholeheartedly, implicitly, and unquestionably. As you embark on the path to health and wellness, remember the importance of the four Cs:

• Curiosity: Ask questions, apply new ideas to your everyday life, and never stop learning and trying. Taste new foods, change your exercise pattern, or learn to cook differently.
• Confidence: Always believe in yourself and follow your goals, no matter the course, setbacks, or what others think. Walk your own walk, and if the path becomes stony buy better shoes.
• Courage: Have the courage to make positive changes in your life; dont be blocked by fear of failure work through it. It may take one time or many times, but keep your courage up. Never give up the dream.
• Constancy: Wake up each day, look in the mirror and tell yourself, I can do this today. Remember to acknowledge your decision to lose weight, accept that you will work on it every day, commit to managing it no matter what, and make a plan for the day.

New Protein Recipe Chai Tea Vanilla Latte: Take two Chai tea bags and steep them in 1/4 cup very hot water for about 5 minutes. Pour one Vanilla RTD (room temperature) into a mug and heat in microwave for about 30-45 seconds, depending on your microwave. Once tea is ready, pour into the warmed vanilla and stir. Also tastes great over ice. Recipe of the Month Light Tomato & Basil Infusion over Chicken: Who doesnt love a delicious Italian flavored dish? With just a few ingredients, you can make this simple dish any night of the week but it is elegant enough to serve as a special meal. I like to serve it with a side of spaghetti squash and an Arugula salad. Enjoy.
