Yes, that's an egg. Because eggs are back! My latest treatments, called NAET, are helping me to finally be free of my food allergies and egg is now OK. I am so happy about it!!
Also pictured are toast with honey, almond butter and cinnamon, and a butter lettuce salad with honey mustard dressing and some leftover grilled turkey patty. Have you ever tried Costco's frozen turkey patties? Good price for protein and super great for a quick meal.
OK. This dish is so good....not just for breakfast, but it is especially great for breakfast because you get a couple of servings of veggies in first thing in the morning and it tastes great and feels like you're eating a porridge, but ha! Its vegetables! #winning. Anyway, its cauli puree, mixed with some roasted butternut squash and sweet potato, and a little bit of Hempler's ham. Add a little nutmeg for seasoning, and some avocado oil or butter. And I often throw a spoonful of sauerkraut on top. (Add it after heating, to preserve all the good tummy bugs.)

More turkey patty with more butter lettuce and more honey mustard....why mess with a good thing, right? Also some grilled asparagus and sweet potato fries. Yum. Oh and some lemon ginger tulsi tea, because my tummy needs all the help it can get. And herbal tea, especially brewed strong, is a great way to "drink your medicine."
 More of my lovely veggie porridge concoction and tea...lots of tea. Did you know, ladies, in the second half of your cycle, and especially the last two or three days before your period starts, your liver is "detoxing your hormones" and the better it works at removing the estrogen, the less likely you are to have cramps and PMS and all that fun stuff? So do yourself a favor and guzzle some dandelion tea, or detox blend tea, or nettle tea and give your liver a boost. And avoid alcohol, because it is not your liver's friend.
Pan fried lamb chops (see that nice, brown sear?!) and a skillet risotto type dish of rice, butternut squash/sweet potato, spinach and a little curry powder. Delicious! And my kids love eating lamb chops, a.k.a. "steaks you eat with your hands." Lamp chops are another quick, easy protein options. Make sure to sear them so the strip of fat on the side gets all crispy and amazing...
Kinda repetitive this week... More risotto skillet rice/squash/sweet potato/spinach combo, this time with some chicken thrown in.
After I have a NAET treatment, I have to avoid the allergen being treated for 25 hours. To make it easier on myself, I batch cooked cauliflower puree, roasted a pan of butternut squash & sweet potato, and a dish of brown rice. I normally batch cook, since having leftovers is one of the best, easiest ways to eat healthy, since you always have something good ready to go.

Quick breakfast for myself of leftover roasted broccoli, beets, and some homemade turkey patties. I love ground turkey for making meatballs or patties or even just fried into crumbles to sprinkle on salads or green beans or other greens.
Family dinner of roasted broccoli, homemade turkey patties and white sweet potato with sauerkraut. The rest of my family had regular baked potatoes with "all the fixin's".

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...
