My meals might look a bit similar in this post because I batch cooked a few things, so my plate is often filled with the same foods, but I try to make each meal a little different so that I don't get bored.
Shredded white sweet potato hash browns and a chive omelette.
Salad with chicken and avocado and homemade honey mustard poppy seed dressing.
This dinner was so full of brightly veggie colors, I couldn't resist playing with my food a little. Grass fed, home grown beef, spinach, onion, beets, carrot, cabbage, sweet potatoe, and cauli puree.
Picnic lunch! We've been going to all the local beaches lately, for dinner picnic or Saturday afternoons.  This picnic had berries, carrots, fruit, cheese, GF crackers, salami, plantain chips, some deli fried chicken and sourdough bread with butter.                                              

Breakfast of eggs with Kerrygold cheese, fried sweet potatoes with ketchup, carrot juice and tea.
Fried eggs with hashbrowns and beets and spinach.
Beets, ground beef, sweet potatoes and spinach, sauteed together.
Dinnertime! Fresh, local new potatoes, steamer and then broiled with butter. Oven fried chicken, with GF flour and spices. Broccoli. Sourdough bread. I wanted to eat the bread so bad....I had one bite with butter and it was😍 so chewy and crunchy. Traditional sourdough bread is supposed to be more tolerable than regular bread, due to fermentation breaking down some of the gluten and making it easier to digest. This one is from Costco and I think it's decent (ingredients are acceptable) but no sure how long the started is aged so I don't go crazy on it. Besides, that in bite is often quite satisfying and savored more than a whole piece would be anyway.
Not very photogenic, but delicious- stir fried chicken and veg with cashews and a pad Thai type sauce. I have been buying the bags of coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) and using them to make quick meals. Just add some meat (chicken, ground beef) and season, and you have a meal. You can throw in more veg like zucchini or spinach or other greens, or broccoli or riced cauliflower. Season simply with salt and pepper, add garlic and onion powder, dried dill, parsley if desired. For Thai flavor, I use fish sauce, coconut aminos (soy sauce replacement), lime juice, tamarind paste/concentrate, almond butter, cayenne pepper, sometimes coconut sugar or honey.
Lovely dinner salad with green leaf lettuce from local stand, Hemplers bacon, Kerrygold cheese, and homemade honey mustard poppy seed dressing.
Breakfast, eggs with cheese and heavy on the greens. Avocado on the side and tea.

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...
