Grilled brat with brown rice and kale, and a side of sweet potato chips. (Trader Joes has yummy, relatively inexpensive, sweet potato chips)
The rest of my family had their brats on Trader Joes GF hot dog buns, which are also a lot cheaper than average.
Fried kale, breakfast sausage, fried egg and .....French Toast!!! because eggs are back and I can finally have more than one egg at a time! Definitely a treat though, cause GF bread isn't cheap.
This boring looking dish is leftover brown rice mixed with homemade chili verde (pork roast with verde sauce), and avocado, over butter lettuce. So yum. The chili verde had been in my freezer for awhile, but it warmed up perfectly delicious. And I would definitely recommend making your own verde sauce. I decided to give it a try after getting some tomatillos from a neighbor, and it was not too hard and very good.
Broiled asparagus with bacon bits and garlic salt, brown rice, and honey mustard chicken. I like to spoon the sauce over my rice...mmm. Funny story; my son will only eat asparagus if we bite the "flower part" off of it first. (Which doesn't bother me too much because that's my favorite part!) He also only wants to eat the stem part of broccoli, not the flower part...which is a little trickier, since the broccoli flower part is a lot larger that the asparagus flower part...I just make him eat it. He'll thank me someday, right?


A quick breakfast of leftover broccoli, honey mustard chicken, and brown rice. Once you get used to it, eating like this for breakfast feels very natural and enjoyable. I definitely notice that I feel better when I eat real, whole foods for breakfast and not the usual breakfast foods like cereal or pancakes or even oatmeal. I try to make sure the first thing in my tummy everyday is alkalizing and nourishing. So things like herbal tea, fresh squeezed lemon/lime juice in warm water, or carrot juice are good options. And yes, it sounds opposite, but lemon juice, which is very acidic is alkalizing, and sugar is acidic. Your body needs to maintain a PH level around 7, which is balanced in the middle between acidic and alkaline, and since processed foods are mostly acidic, its important to support the alkaline side as much as possible. And the first thing you eat in the morning basically sets up your blood sugar's reaction for the day, so again, its important when you're coming off of your overnight "fast" to put something healthy into your body. This one thing can end up making a huge difference in your overall health.

Butter lettuce salad with homemade honey mustard dressing, Beef patty and plantain chips. I like to make a sauce with ketchup, mustard, and a little onion powder...reminds me of Mc Donald's cheeseburgers, but without all the things I can't eat!

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...

Energy Work//Christian Perspective

Psalm 66:16-20: "Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul. I cried to Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear. But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me!" I've had several conversations lately about some of the treatments I've received, mostly regarding the NAET treatments, so this has been on my mind... I just have a few things I want to clarify.  First and foremost, I want to make it very clear that I believe ALL healing is by God and for His glory. He alone gives life and breath and power. The Bible tells us this and I believe it is a foundational truth. Another foundational truth is that there is only one way for us to be right with God and that is through His Son, Jesus Christ; through His sacrifice and death on the cross and His Resurrectio...
