WhatIEat#17

Making Dutch pancakes for breakfast. Be prepared to make quite a few, as they are thin and can be eaten quickly.
Curry risotto with butternut squash, spinach, bacon, and some pecorino romano cheese. Like my Harvest soup, but thick and creamy.
I love eating eggs for breakfast. They were definitely one of the hardest things to eliminate from my diet, but I did for a year and a half. Thanks to NAET treatments, I can eat them every day now with no worries :) These had some spinach and ham stirred in. And I've been guzzling echinachea tea off and on to boost my immune system during these rainy days. I'm ready for some Summer sunshine for sure!
Chicken thighs, butter lettuce, broccoli, and mashed potatoes. The chicken and lettuce are drizzled with Honey Mustard dressing. The mashed potatoes are a little dark, since they fried a little bit in the pan before I mashed them.
BBQ shredded beef, broccoli, and GF cornbread with butter and honey.
This lovely breakfast was NOT made by me. :) Brian and I spent a night away and this was our brunch. We like to split the Country Breakfast at Bob's Burgers, which is just the right amount for the two of us. 

Breakfast for Sophie and Nathaniel- Fried eggs on toast with avocado, strawberry, and toast with peanut butter and Hagel Slaag.
Dinner- Fritatta with egg, sausage, cheese and white potatoes. On the side we had broccoli and oatmeal....funny combo I guess, but I wanted some veggies with our breakfast for dinner, and I was out of "greenies" (spinach/kale).
Thick cut pork chops, pan fried with some cayenne pepper and honey, which I think is my favorite way to season pork....just don't go to heavy on the cayenne if you have kids eating it. Mashed potatoes and green beans on the side. Brian was pretty happy with this dinner.

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...
