Chicken Soup

YUM.
This soup is similar to my veggie detox soup, but without the zuchinni.
First, I boiled then simmered 3 frozen chicken thighs (with bone and skin) in some broth for awhile, til they were cooked.
Threw in some chopped onions, chopped parsley, chopped celery and a bag of frozn carrots and simmered some more.
Chopped like 8 cloves of garlic, set to side.
Chopped one bunch of kale.
Remove chicken thighs, set aside to cool, add kale. Add more broth.
Shred chicken thighs. Throw meat back in and add garlic. Season with pink salt, celery salt, garlic powder.
Done.
Flavor is even better after sitting in fridge overnight.
Light, healthy, so amazingly delicious- this broth is so so good.
I'm eating this for every meal today. I often use Mondays as a detox/recovery day, since the weekend usually means treats galore.
I did not use zuchinni in this soup  because I am trying to avoid lectins, a substance in many different foods that makes digestion hard, and the practioner I'm working with for hair analysis suggested I try to avoid them, as the foods that still usually disagree with me are some of the highest in lectins. So avoiding beans, corn, peas, melons, squashes and more...just a little experiment to see if it makes me feel better.
No worries though, this soup is wonderful and I think I like it even more than my veggie detox soup. My kids ate it with me for breakfast this morning and they enjoyed it too, especially the shredded chicken which is so soft and yummy.
😊 Let me know if you try it!

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...

WhatIEat#43

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 ...
