Tri tip steak, garlicky sautéed mushrooms, broiled fresh green beans with bacon and onion, and instant mashed potatoes with pan sauce from the steak. Delicious, except the green beans didn't go over well with the family...we love canned, fresh are too crunchy I guess. Sophie tried the mushrooms though, and she loved them! She is quite an adventurous eater lately.
Fried leftover potatoes with ketchup, fries eggs and Cheerios. And tea, of course. The kids loved this breakfast! Who doesn't love fried potatoes anyway? And yes, I do eat cereal sometimes, and thoroughly enjoy it when I do :)
Lovely lemon ginger tea, and a breakfast bowl of scrambled eggs, sauteed spinach, fried minced sweet potato and pancetta, and GF toast with butter. Yum. The pancetta was leftover from making homemade BBQ chicken pizzas... also yum.
I just love this soup! This time it had butternut squash, sweet potato, spinach, bacon, pecorino Romano cheese, and breakfast type sausage. I love eating this soup for breakfast...fast, healthy, and delicious; what more could you want to start your day?!

Pan fried pork chop with honey mustard sauce, over sautéed zucchini and cauliflower purée.

Yea, breakfast casserole with Spam, spinach, eggs and sweet potato, and pancakes with butter and molasses.
Fried eggs, crispy Spam, pancakes with molasses, my smoothie, and tea.

Cauliflower purée, and roasted butternut squash and chicken thighs with sage....so tasty!

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 ...

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...
