more of What I Eat





#1 Breakfast- This is a detox/liver support breakfast of beets, asparagus and dandelion and nettle tea. The beets are from Trader Joe's, and they are steamed and peeled = ready to go! I season them with garlic salt and dill.
#2 Breakfast- scrambled eggs, Hempler's bacon, asparagus & gluten free toast. This picture is my husband's breakfast and he also had a bowl of plain, full fat yogurt with blueberries and homemade granola.
#3 Breakfast- "Soup" made from zucchini ribbons, spinach and bone broth and topped with two crispy fried eggs and a sprinkle of cheese (pecorino romano, sheep cheese). I really love making a breakfast soup using leftover meat and greens and/or zucchini and bone broth...warm and yummy and an easy way to get in some veg first thing in the morning.
#4 Dinner- Butter lettuce salad with avocado oil and salt n pepper and homemade BBQ chicken pizza. I LOVE that I can make pizza now I have some cheese back in my life! I use Trader Joe's gluten free pizza crust, BBQ sauce, spinach, green onions, chicken, bacon, and either sheep cheese or goat cheese. I sometimes add green peppers also, and garlic and onion powder.
#5 Breakfast- Skillet meal of leftovers all fried up together! Beets (red and gold), turnip or rutabaga(wasn't sure which I bought! Lol) baby spinach, brown rice, purple cauliflower, and beef roast. I love batch cooking so that I always have healthy ingredients on hand to throw something like this together.


#6 Dinner- Fried eggs, bacon, asparagus, GF toast, and wine. Yes, we are classy like that. Ha! This dinner was just for me and Brian, after the kids went to bed. We got home late from something and the kids had eaten already. This took about 10 minutes to make. There's some fast food that you don't have to feel guilty about!
#7 Lunch- Turkey Butternut Curry soup, with carrot sticks and homemade GF cornbread with butter and honey. I love this soup. Turkey, butternut squash, sweet potato, chicken broth, spinach, bacon, pecorino romano cheese, and a few spices, including curry. I love soups, since they a great for batch cooking and having on hand for any meal. I eat soup for breakfast often. Yum.
#8 Dinner (outside!)- Roasted asparagus and Brussel sprouts with bacon, baked sweet potato with butter and cinnamon and nutmeg, and tuna cakes. Just started making fish cakes recently and we are loving them! Also, the key to delicious Brussel sprouts is to caramelize them....so good!

This Is Going Well // DNRS review

{This is going W E L L}  Brian gave me this mug for Christmas, and it's my favorite.❤  All the work I've been doing to retrain my brain and heal my body has been going very well, and I am so excited and optimistic about the future!  I mentioned previously that I would be starting the Dynamic Neural Retraining System, (DNRS), which works with neuroplasticity based techniques to heal an impaired limbic system, which is essentially a brain injury that results from trauma and causes your brain to process and store information as if you are in a constant state of "fight or flight", or emergency response.  Trauma is relative to every individual, and there are different types of trauma; obvious things like death, war, victim of a crime, major accidents, and those sort of things are Traumas with a capital 'T'. Things like illness, chronic stress, unstable family life, negative relationships, and many others, are  traumas with a little 't'; on ...

What IEat#9

Dinner- I love making breakfast for dinner when I don't feel like cooking or have to make dinner fast. Scrambled eggs with spinach, kidney bean, bacon, and GF toast with cashew butter, honey and cinnamon. Dinner- steamed broccoli, Alexia's sweet potato fries (love that Costco has a big bag of them right now!), and beef burger patty with avocado and bacon. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner- This is what I ate during my last NAET treatment 25 hour avoidance phase. There is a different list of "safe foods" with every treatment, depending on what you're avoiding, and they recommend that you limit yourself to just two or three foods, as the more variety you consume, the more energy it takes for your body to digest and ideally you just want to let your body's energy be as unhindered as possible so you can achieve optimal results. So this time I ate sweet potato, beef roast, and white rice. Yes, I felt a little guilty for the high amount of starch, but its only ...

Fear Is A Liar

 Things have been a bit rough lately for me. You would think that at some point you would somehow get used to the rollercoaster ride of chronic illness, but it really doesn't get easier. Maybe you understand some things more, or learn to cope with symptoms, or give up on things ever going back to how they used to be, but the little comfort there is in the familiarity of "we've been here before" isn't enough to get you through it all.  I realized that maybe one reason it doesn't get easier to go through the ups and downs is because I have not lost hope. I have not stopped living the good days to their full potential. Maybe that makes the bad days hurt a little more, but if you can't embrace the good days, I think that's a sign of moving to the next level of despair.  Don't give up. As Spurgeon says, in one of my favorite devotionals, " Be full of hope! Hope forever! For God does not fail you." (July 21 evening -Morning and Evening-Sp...
