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".

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 ...
