Remember being ga-ga for some boy or girl in your youth who you’d literally go to the ends of the Earth for…in a kind of unhealthy, young & stupid/sweet kind of way? Surely most of us have had that relationship that made us lose our damn minds for the person in those initial ‘shiny new… [Read more…]

A quick update before we decide today if being gluten-free is ‘enough’! Since last post – I moved! I didn’t kill Drew or anyone else, although they likely wanted to end me at a few points along the way – but I’d say it was a reasonable success! We now live about 20 mins drive… [Read more…]

We made it through the 30 Day Challenge! “Made it”…hm. It’s not like we survived a climb up Everest or something. I don’t know if “made it” is the right word. Because, when you think about it, it isn’t really that hard to change your eating habits. Dealing with a traumatic event in your life… [Read more…]

Drew & I laugh about how I have such high expectations from lunch that I’m often disappointed by what’s out there. Before we… [Read more…]

It’s a freaky thought, I know, the carb-loving world we live in – hey! even the USDA says go carb-crazy & eat upwards of 250-300g of carbs per day. Does anyone realize how impossible that is if you’re eating a diet rich in fruits & vegetables and minus the grains that are so inflammatory &… [Read more…]

The 30 days is sort-of winding down. I won’t lie and say I haven’t thought about the first meal I’ll eat on the day following the “last” day of this. A slice of gluten free toast? I would have said ‘yes’ if you’d asked me the first week. A piece of dark chocolate? umm..maybe…the first… [Read more…]
