Today is a sick day. We have a flu going through our house (influenza flu, not tummy bug), and I came down with it last night, so today is a couch day for this mama. Some people enjoy comfort foods when they are sick; I make myself drink dandelion tea and eat roasted root veggie(parsnip, turnip, rutabaga and radish) and brown rice. Lol I laugh at myself...laughter is good medicine, right?
The veggies were alot better than I thought they'd be. I've never roasted radishes before but I had heard it completely changes the flavor, and since I can't stand them raw that sounded like a positive thing. It did mellow them out, and all together they were surprisingly tolerable. Not my favorite, but not bad.
Turkey spinach meatballs, roasted gold potato spears and green beans.
Ginormous breakfast- smoothie, tea, spinach eggs. I'm a "get it over with'" kinda person, so a breakfast full of veggies makes me happy. I get in almost half the recommended servings of fruit and vegetables right away and don't have to worry about pushing them at every meal.
Such a pretty rainbow of colorful foods for my smoothie🌈
Smoothie, tea, oatmeal. I like to have tea with my smoothie so I don't get brain freeze and to wash it down. I'm also finding I usually like to have eggs or a little oatmeal or something too; I think having a food to chew along with it helps digestion, (since you can bet I do my best not to do anything but swallow that smoothie!) and also helps me feel full longer.
Quick dinner of scrambled eggs, sauteed zucchini and oatmeal.
GF pasta and broccoli, topped with pecorino romano cheese. Sophie and Nathaniel live the fun shapes of this particular pasta.
Chocolate chip cookies, and oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. (GF of course)
I sent some to my Navy brother in Florida, hopefully they arrive in one piece!
Typical breakfast lately: tea& smoothie. Plus a handful of supplements. That tea tin you see is a new flavor for me. I discovered the Pink Stork brand while searching for something to help my pregnant sisters feel better. And even though I'm not pregnant, I've been using some of their supplements and tea too, and I really like it. And as my Dr. and midwife have both pointed out to me, if you are a woman of "child-bearing age" then things that support women who are trying to optimize their fertility will usually be good for you as well, regardless of whether or not you are in "baby mode".
Tacos! These really hit the spot...I've been focusing on greens and fish and poultry and trying to save beef and cheese and corn for special occasions, and so I really enjoyed these tacos. My family loved them too.
Pancake stacks with whipped cream, maple syrup (the real stuff), and strawberries for the kids. I had some pancakes with a little butter and honey. I like them plain too though.
Cauliflower puree and tea. Cauli puree feels similar to porridge in my opinion, so it makes a good, cozy breakfast.
My pumpkin bars. Because it's Autumn and they're yummy.
Omelette with my smoothie. This one had arugula and turkey meat inside.
Big butter lettuce salad, and toast with avocado mayo and turkey.

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...

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 ...
