Tonight's Dinner!

For anyone on Candida Clear or Phase 1 (for my patients) this is a great meal!

Today before work I put 3 chicken breasts in the crock pot and it was soooo good!  You want to wash the chicken off and put in the crock pot with about 1 inch to 2 inches of water (can do organic chicken broth instead of water).  You want it so the top of the chicken breast is NOT covered with water so you can season it.  This will allow the seasoning to bake into the chicken.  After putting the water in with the chicken breast, season it with your favorite stuff.  I did Cajun and sea salt for a little kick.  Then cook it on high for 4 hours... when you come home you will have chicken that is so tender and cooked perfectly!  I took one of the chicken breasts out and put over the hydroponic lettuce (from Costco) with raspberries, pine nuts, olive oil and balsamic vinegar! It was soo amazing and filling! 

Now I can keep the left over chicken breasts for salads, put over quinoa, make in salad wraps, and have it for quick left overs.... It was a great mid week meal and I will be set for the rest of the week!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!  I was on a walk today thinking about how I can help my patients even more.. I am continuously thinking about how I can improve the practice and make life changes more doable and less overwhelming for everyone.  Then it hit me.. create a blog.  I know these may be overused and I am new to this but I think it will be a great portal for people to get info.. not matter if you are patients or not!

I have had some patients lately that are new to eating healthy and want to change their life but it can be overwhelming.  I plan on sharing good recipes, healthy foods, tips for the home, inspiring stories from patients, and anything else I can think of to help make the world a healthier place!  That's my simple goal in life...  Make people healthier and happier and appreciate life to the fullest.  It's hard to do when you don't feel good, get overwhelmed by work or life, or have no direction or help... That's what this blog is here for and my practice too! 

So feel free to visit www.drcarolynmaxfield.com for more information on what I do at my office!  I love love love what I do and giving people the tools to feel better and take control of their life is the best job in the world! (And I do not take my job lightly... because there are so many people out there feeling sick and tired).  So hopefully you will find this blog helpful, interesting, and possibly learn a few tips that myself and my office manager, Lori, have learned along the way.  Knowledge is power and I hope you find something inspiring in this blog no matter how big or small it is!
