Happy Mother's Day to me! This mini GF cheesecake was one of the lovely gifts given to me by Brian, Sophie and Nathaniel. Fred Meyer carries them in their bakery case, in case you need to know. :) I topped it with some of my sister-in-law's tangy lemon curd.
Taco Breakfast Scramble: eggs, taco meat, spinach, and Kerrygold cheese, topped with salsa. And a mug of Chamomile tea. I've been craving protein lately so I've been eating a lot of eggs, and this is a nice way to mix it up a little.
Huge taco salad and a slice (or two) of GF pizza. I normally save the pizza for Brian and the kids as a convenient meal for the times I'm out and Brian has to feed them. But the kids weren't feeling well, so they weren't hungry, so I enjoyed a treat. I like the GF pizza from Costco, and I like to kick it up a notch by sprinkling it with Trader Joe's garlic salt and some dried oregano.
We went to my parent's house to celebrate Mother's Day, and I was feeling festive and decided to mix up a little drink. Lemonade and sparkling white wine, with sliced citrus and ice. Yummy! I was thinking of making something along the lines of sangria, but since I don't care for much fruit, I was left with just the citrus fruits, so it tasted like hard lemonade. Can't complain about that!
Saturday morning breakfast. I love it when Brian can be here for breakfast...enjoying a big breakfast together makes my heart happy. Even when Brian isn't here though, we still usually have a large breakfast. This meal consisted of eggs, hashbrowns, strawberries, microwave mug cake and orange or carrot juice. I also made Brian a yogurt "parfait". Very satisfying. And I don't feel a bit bad feeding my kids the cake for breakfast; its Paleo and has protein, fiber and low sugar.

First breakfast after coming home from vacation. Fritatta, leftover roasted potatoes, toast, and a smoothie for me. I'm obsessed with frittatas and I don't see that ending anytime soon! Healthy, easy, fast, cheap. #winning
We went to LAs Vegas for a family vacation, and we had a kitchen, so one night I made pork chops, mashed sweet potatoes, and broccoli. It was a little strange to be cooking and seasoning everything with just salt, pepper, and butter, but it turned out very tasty. Reminded me that sometimes its good to just keep things really simple.
Lunch out at Panda Express on our vacation. The kids loved the meat, but not the veggies or rice. Personally, I love the broccoli and sautéed mushrooms.
Another fun vacation meal- Shake Shack! I wish we had one of these nearby at home. So good. And they even had a GF bun. That always makes my day. Oh and their fresh lemonade was good too.
Fritatta, Chocolate waffles (our favorite paleo recipe), Hempler's bacon and fruit. So yum. And those lilacs- Hooray for springtime!

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

Transformation // Hair Analysis #2

I haven't posted in over a year.  I have six drafts that I started writing and never posted because I just couldn't decide what to say, with all the current world events and how I was feeling emotionally and mentally, (kind of all over the place), so....it has been quite awhile since I updated on where I'm at in my health journey. When I last posted here, I talked about DNRS and what a difference it was making for me. I am very happy to say that, even with the world being turned upside down, I was still able to keep that new level of health I had reached, and I am now doing better than ever. That's not to say there haven't been a lot of ups and downs, and some really low lows, but I really believe that I healed my root cause issues. 2 years ago, I was working on treating anxiety, SIBO, low stomach acid, HPA axis dysfunction a.k.a. adrenal fatigue (the most severe my doctor had seen on paper), other hormonal issues, and more, all at the same time; it was challenging

Updated Supplement Protocol

This is my current protocol of supplements we are using to support my body in healing my gut, hormones, and overall health. I am posting this partly to document my progress, and also to share what is working for me,  and to maybe give people ideas to ask their doctor about. Do not just start taking any supplement without working with a trained practitioner. There are too many personal and varying factors to navigate the world of supplements and vitamins alone. Do yourself a favor and get professional, knowledgeable help to give you the best chance at complete recovery and fastest results. I saw my Naturopath last week, and we went over my symptoms and adjusted my supplements and added in a couple new things. This protein shake is one of the new additions to my treatment plan. OptiCleanse GHI is a protein powder supplement that we are using to support healing my gut, specifically leaky gut, and also support liver detox. It tastes quite good actually, which I was ver
