WhatIEat#33(low lectin)

 
We went on a family camping trip the last week of June.  We stayed near the ocean and we had a wonderful time. Alot of these meals are from that trip. I really enjoy campfire cooking. I already use my cast iron pans at home and love them, and they are great for cooking over am open flame too. I especially love cooking breakfasts like the one above: sweet potatoes, eggs, spinac and bacon. Yum!
I did my best to stick to my low lectin diet. I did eat a few treats but for meals I tried to eat alot of veggies to help balance it out. Butter lettuce with HM dressing, roasted carrots, broccoli, grilled onion, green onion, and a little chicken on this plate.
I like making one big, thick pancake in my Dutch oven and then slicing like a pie- saves me time and effort. This pancake was GF, of course, and made from a combination of a Paleo pancake mix and oat flour, so not grain free which means not compliant. But I skipped the syrup and ate boiled eggs, ham and avocado along with it.
 
This was a lunch I made to eat at the ocean. For my family I made a tray of snadwiches with GF bread, HM dressing, ham, cheese, and spread avo. mayo on the outside and then stuck in the BBQ to get toasty and crispy. I put some lettuce on them once them right before serving. My sandwich was made using Paleo naan, HM dressing, ham, goat gouda, and avo.mayo. after it had heated up I wrapped it in lettuce.  (The ham was not pastured meat=not compliant)
 
This dinner was so good. I brought homegrown grass fed steaks and grilled them along with asparagus and onions. Grilled onions are so good...they really satisfy a craving for onion rings in a healthy way.
Breakfast bowl: fried white sweet potatoes, Spam(not compliant), spinach and scrambled eggs. 💛
Thai food lunch! We took the kids to a huge playground and picked up Thai and pizza on the way. I had chicken and onions and broccoli in a sauce that was GF but probably not compliant.
Breakfast of spinach, grilled sweet potato, bacon, avocado, and boiled eggs.
Home at last!  The family had nachos and I had naan with cilantro, onions, chicken, goat gouda and lettuce. Oh and we picked up Rocket Donuts on the way home for dessert. GF but not compliant. Totally delicious.
Omelet with duck eggs, Comtè cheese, spinach, onions.
Naan, grilled sw.potato fries, broccoli and tuna with avo mayo.
Chocolate mug cake with coconut ice cream. The chocolate chips are not compliant, but the cake and ice cream are.
Huge salad made with garden fresh lettuce from our garden boxes and tuna with avo mayo and mustard.
More of that homegrown beef and caramelized onions and broccoli.
Scramble breakfast: eggs, ground turkey, spinach and a jar of tea
Compliant vanilla cinnamon mug cake with ice cream. This is the compliant brand/type- So Delicious vanilla coconut milk ice cream, no sugar added.
Bowl of broccoli and a couple slices of smoked aalmon from Trader Joe's. I often eat a big bowl of broccoli for lunch. It's easy, filling, so nitrous and I love it.
My birthday breakfast,  which I enjoyed out on our new patio set with Sophie and Nathaniel. A slicw of chocolate mug cake, scrambled eggs and avocado.


When I make my family burgers for dinner I want one too! I make my burgers with naan as buns and add grilled onions, avo mayo, lettuce goat cheese and salt and pepper.
Turkey breakfast sausages with spinach and eggs. (Turkey not pastured=Not compliant)

More turkey sausages. Make a big batch so they're ready and waiting for you.
Butter lettuce, HM dressing and smoked salmon.


Coconut flour Paleo waffles with French butter, wgga and avocado.
Cereal I can eat!! Puffed millet with a drizzle of raw honey and goat milk. It's a treat but it is nice to be able to have cereal once in awhile.

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...
