Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 egg whites
• 2/3 cup agave
• 1/4 cup unbleached, whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 cup chopped toasted walnuts
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
• Cooking spray

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8×8-inch non-stick cake pan.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, using a sturdy whisk or spatula, mix the applesauce, vanilla, egg whites, and agave until they are well combined. Add the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, nuts and salt. Stir the mixture until it is just combined and no lumps remain. Pour it into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chips evenly over the top. Bake the brownies for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry (a few crumbs are OK).
3. Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and allow them to cool 5 minutes. Cut into 12 equal brownies.

Yield:
12 servings.

Promoting Positive Thinking & Behavior Among Children.

Alecia is the creator and co-author of Alexandra Rain S.M.E. (Super Model Extraordinaire).
Her primary focus is teaching her children how to make good choices while learning to be positive role models.

After discovering that her children were so entertained by her imaginative stories, Alecia decided to write a children’s book series demonstrating the importance of virtues.

As a first-time author, she created Alexandra Rain S.M.E. and named the main character after her own daughter, Alexandra.

Both of her children have learned the meaning of modeling positive qualities, such as love, peace, and courage, through the characters of her book.   Alecia’s family continues to be her true inspiration.

WHAT WILL YOUR CHILD MODEL TODAY?

A Surprise In Every New Day…

Growing up, my mother always told me not to judge other people.  She said, “who are we to judge? we don’t know their life”.   Another one was “don’t judge a book by its cover” and “treat people the way you would like to be treated”.

Those words stuck with me and I’m so glad they did.   For me, mom was the role model of goodness.  She had a kind heart and tried her best to understand people in all situations before she formed an opinion.

Oh, she had opinions alright, lots of them, both salty and sweet, but mom tried hard to keep the salty ones to herself.  She had an open heart and overlooked a lot to find the goodness in people.  If good existed, she would find it.

Mom said “the good stuff doesn’t always come easy, sometimes we can turn salt into sugar with the right mix of love and understanding.”  She was so right.

She also taught me that there is a surprise in every new day, and if I kept an open heart with an open mind I’d be lucky enough to find it.  At age 6, I thought that was a toy or candy, but after awhile I understood it was something much bigger.  It was about a deeper connection with the world.

It was all about love.

Mom passed away in 2009, and although I miss her every day, her love continues inside me and her words of wisdom live on.  A huge smile grows on my face each time I catch myself sharing one of her life lessons with our son.  I know he gets it, and that fills my heart.

Wishing Moms Everywhere A Healthy & Joyful Mother’s Day!

What is more beautiful than the vibrant light bouncing off the amber, rust and golden saturated leaves of a tree lined street on a crystal clear autumn day?

The brilliant colors against the big open blue sky adds a wide smile to my face, and truly brings a feeling of joy to my heart.

These are some of the worlds glorious moments, the ones that move us and connect us to the earth as we ponder it’s enormity.

Wishing you a lifetime of rich, glorious moments…

Sincerely,

Rose DeMann

“For me, it’s about reality. Sometimes I’m going to go for the chips and guacamole, or say yes to desert, especially when I’m not working – but when I need to look and feel my best for an event or work, I turn to the product that’s just always worked for me – and that’s Freshology. Honestly, I’ve tried many different programs but I get the best AND fastest results from Freshology.

“The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank is doing some amazing things and it’s always been important for me to give back – especially with issues that affect children.  Over 650,000 children in the Los Angeles area alone go hungry every year.  It’s heartbreaking.  Freshology’s commitment to giving back is something that really resonates with me.”
