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.

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 ...

What IEat#9

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...
