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!

My Fish Cakes Recipe -(Paleo)-

I am trying to incorporate more fish into my diet, and these delicious fish cakes are a new family favorite! They can be made with tuna or salmon, salmon having slightly more to offer nutritionally; high Omega 3 fats, vitamin D, and selenium. (and more!) Fish is so good for your brain and heart, and can improve your mood, weight, and overall health. Interestingly, the selenium in fish helps keep our bodies from absorbing the mercury found in fish! God's good design :) This article  explains that in more detail, if you're a "nerd" like me and love learning about food. Anyway, on to the recipe! Ingredients- 3 cans salmon, tuna or sardines 3 TBS mayonnaise 3 TBS coconut flour 3 eggs 3 tsp mustard 1/4 tsp salt pepper 1/4 cup chopped green onions (1) Open canned fish and empty into med/large bowl. The fish I use has no added water, so I pour all the juices in too, no draining! Try to keep the fish somewhat off to side. Add the coconut flour to the j...

WhatIEat#43

Oatmeal cake, a classic recipe my mom would make when I was growing up. I have adapted it to suit my family's diet; it is gluten free, lower sugar, and I use pecans on top instead of cornflakes. It is so comforting and cozy to eat; the spices are warming and fragrant, and the texture is soft and moist. It is one of my favorite treats, and I'm so thankful to be able to enjoy it again with my family! A nice bowl of oatmeal, with molasses, chia seeds, cinnamon, cashew butter, butter, coconut oil, hemp hearts and soaked/sprouted pecans. I wasn't able to eat oatmeal for years, due to the pain and bloating it caused. But I'm thrilled to say that I have eaten it many times now with zero digestive issues. It's crazy and wonderful and my brain is still getting used to the idea of it being safe and normal, but every time I eat it, my brain gets a little more comfortable with it. I'm not scared, but I can hear my brain saying, "wait...I thought this w...

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 ...
