 Breakfast- sautéed zucchini with garlic and onion powder, dill and caramelized onions, sliced leftover mini meatloaf, and scrambled eggs.
 Breakfast- carrot juice, breakfast casserole, and a GF pancake with cashew butter, honey, and cinnamon.
 Lunch- taco salad: taco meat, avocado, goat cheese, and a few crushed tortilla chips, with a dressing made from paleo mayo, ketchup, refried beans, and tomatillo salsa. Easier to evenly distribute the beans on a salad when they're mixed into the dressing.
 Dinner- steamed sweet potatoes with butter, cinnamon & nutmeg, steamed asparagus and green beans, and mini meat loaves. Meat loaf was made with one package each of ground beef and ground pork (1lb. ?), half an onion, chopped, fresh sage, thinly sliced, and salt and pepper.
 Dinner- cauliflower purée, and chicken with mushrooms, honey mustard, bacon and spinach. Amazing!!
Treat- Paleo chocolate chip cookie bars.  I used this recipe, but tweaked it slightly. I used 2 cups almond flour, omitted the remaining 1/2 cup, and used 1 TBS each of coconut flour and tapioca powder instead. This made them more chewy and fluffy and less dense and oily. So yum.

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...

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 ...
