One phase of my business is working with professional women who have a parent with Alzheimer’s.  I’ve always had a major interest in brain research and how to create the most healthy brain possible. My formal education working as an educator in psychology moved me forward in this endeavor of learning all I could.

I have a blog at http://www.AlzheimersintheFamily.com where I share research and stories about my observations of my Mom and others with Alzheimer’s.  Mom passed away 11/11/2009.

Check out Dr. Oz today…find the time for his show on your TV listings.

It’s great that this very serious problem is getting great media attention.

David Bach has written a number of books and he is actually offering his latest book at NO cost for one day only.  This is a downloadable PDF version of the book.

His ideas are always so down to earth and applicable to everyday life for you.

With this link you’ll see an excerpt from his book, but the link for the download of the whole book is right there on the right hand side - available today, January 3, 2010 only.

When you have your finances in order, it is amazing how empowering it can be.  This affects all part of your life, enabling freedom to plan things for yourself, your family, your business… And even put together plans for a special adventure for yourself… whether it is a trip to a new place, a new business venture, a new home, a new car…..whatever is important to you.

If you’re ready to put all the puzzle pieces of your life together, let’s get started!

All the entertaining Mom used to do… How she would prepare foods ahead of time so that she could relax with her guests.

It’s hard to believe that she is really gone from this earth. 
Even with over three years that she was in the Alzheimer’s Care Center, it’s still quite an adjustment for me not to have her.

One of her favorite make ahead recipes was for Mashed Potato Casserole.
Below is the recipe.  Hope you’ll find a time that it works well for your menu planning!

MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE
from Mom    December 1977
12 Medium Potatoes
3 cups small curd cottage cheese
2/3 cups sour cream
chopped onions as desired (about 1/4 cup or less)
salt and pepper to taste
Cook and mash potatoes just a little. 
Add all ingredients and mash well.
 
Refrigerate or freeze in casserole until needed. 
When ready to use, remove casserole from refrigerator and top with the following:
1 cup slivered almonds sauteed in 6 Tablespoons butter.
Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes - longer if partially frozen!

Annie and Springerle Cookies

Springerle Cookies are a tradition handed down through many generations in my family.  I remember my Grandma’s cookies and how she would put a piece of apple in the cookie tin with the cookies to make them softer.

I made the cookies with my Mom many times.  Mom died on November 11, 2009 after several years in an Alzheimer’s Care Center.  It’s been quite a while since I’ve made the cookies.  I brought along my Mom’s old rolling pin when I visited with my son’s family for Christmas.

My son and I had great fun doing the cookies with his two little ones,
Annie, 3 and Davey, 5.   They did a great job of rolling the dough flat first and then using the special rolling pin to create the designs on the dough.

I’ll include the recipe below if you’d like to try making them.  You can find the rolling pins online … even Amazon has them!
