Now we are talking!!!
Awesome salad and I'm so grateful for the sheep cheese!!! I do miss the crunch of the corn chip but its still yummy!
This does not excite me
I'm still alive, I would have a bigger smile if I was eating a snickers bar but hey, I have been on track and today was much less hungry than yesterday! I am on a journey......which is an ACT of traveling from one place to another....

HERE WE GO AGAIN!
Well I had let the blog go obviously because I failed at eating YEAST FREE. And surprise, surprise IM BACK and guess what???Looks like my Dr. was right. I have a serious problem with yeast in my body! Ya I have been dealing with these stomach issues for over 3 years! I finally agreed to have the hida scan done on my gallbladder because myself and everyone else were convinced that it was the culprit to my pain.... I went to the office to have my results read and also go over my food allergy test and guess what??????? I HAVE THE BEST GALLBLADDER IN TOWN!!! I do however suffer from severe yeast overgrowth and if thats not bad enough my body is producing anibodies against the yeast ...... So I ask myself...Do you want to feel better??? HECK YA! I thought I was easting SO healthy all my raw milk, yogurt, eggs, whole grains.....dangit I am allergic to dairy!!!! SAY WHAT!!!!?????? okay....breath.....I can this! I can do ALL THINGS through Christ which strengthens me right????? Plus she says I can have sheep cheese and sheep yogurt (different protein) So in simple form I am OFF ALL GRAINS, SUGAR, COW DAIRY......STARCHY VEGGIES!! I will share my journey and upload all my new recipes and pics...For now I need prayer for strength!

wow I am back to the land of the living! After I got back from Austin I woke up in the middle of the night sick! I got a nasty stomach bug from my brothers house and it had me down, man it was hard I really wanted some bread and starches after i started felling better. But I made it.
I decided today that I would add a bit of raw apple cider vinegar in my diet. there is some debate on using it while doing yeast free but the majority is that its acceptable but needs to be refrigerated. Anyway the point is, that I needed to add some variations to my salads cause I am so over lemon and olive oil! I made a yummy one today with A.C.V. with E.V.O.O I added fresh basil, garlic clove, some paprika and a touch of salt man it was yummy.
RECIPE
I have had a couple people ask for my cookie recipes so here they are sorry but if you know me in the kitchen you know I try to re-invent recipes so my measurements are not perfect. there are severel variatioins of this recipe but if you google peanut butter rice krispy treats then you will get the basic idea, I just chance things up. there is a cereal by the brand name BARBARAS and the name of the cereal is BROWN RICE CRISPS, its sweetened with juice and is wheat free this cereal brand has great alternatives to the surgery crap on the market now.
I usually use almond butter but peanut butter is fine. I heat up brown rice syrup with about a tablespoon of coconut oil, I let it boil for about 3 min then take it of the heat, then add nut butter after its mixed well I poor it over a couple cups of the brown rice crisp.Typically I throw in some chopped up nuts, spelt pretzels, and a few chocolate chip. After spraying the glass pan with a bit of oil then I press the mixture in real tight by using some parchment paper. after a few min it hardens up then I cut them in squares. They are really good, and have no refined sugar.
another cookie I made was using the same concept with the brown rice syrup and nut butter, after heating the syrup and letting it boil a bit then adding in the nut butter. I mix some puffed rice with oats and mealed flax meal and then mix it all up. after it cools a bit then I make balls out of them and let them cool on parchment paper. I know this is vague, next time I make them I will measure it out.

Holiday Weekend
Well I made it! I have however figured out that I should not be using brown rice syrup. Pretty disappointing. I guess I figured since it came from brown rice it should be fine but since its in a concentrated sugar form its not!! BOO HOO!
Well I did okay I made it through my first PMS we will see how I do next month without the syrup. My back was a killer this weekend I am not sure what happened. It actually felt like I injured it. I have been using ice, some remedy's and Advil. I plan on going to the chiropractor later today. This morning I woke with my throat draining. I will be hitting my supplements hard and PRAYER. I can't afford to go down.
I was so blessed to be able to go to the Whole Foods in Austin, It was awesome! I found some great goat and sheep cheese, and the sheep's yogurt was great!

Oct 7
well today was okay, however it was my first real headache since I started this. I am not real sure what the source was I forgot my sunglasses today so that could have triggered it.
My lunch sucked, I could not even finish it and I was hungry I am getting tired of the same salad over and over! I hope I am not eating too much brown rice. I made some wheat free pancakes today and they went right down the sink they sucked too! ha ha Well I stumble on good stuff here and there. Tomorrow I am meant to increase my thyroid so we will see. Oh ya the scale finally moved I think the first week I lost about 1.5 pounds. I should have lost 5-10 Its amazing that the sugar being yanked from my diet so abruptly did not make a bigger difference.
