Today seemed like a better day all-around, although I was annoyingly hungry when I woke up. The taste for something sweet seems to be subsiding…happily replaced by a need to put a touch of celtic sea salt on everything…just kidding, not everything, just on my asparagus and my meats as they go in to cook.… [Read more…]

Well, last night ended well for Day 1. I was asleep by 930 and slept till 6am – sleep is an important part of living optimally fit! Not sleeping wrecks your cortisol levels, and as Robb Wolf says, “then the wheels start coming off the wagon.” So sleep was good – till about 445am, when… [Read more…]

If you are just dropping by, make sure you check out this post so you can get the story on why we’re doing this 30 Day Challenge. To refresh, it’s 30 days no grains, dairy or legumes, no refined sugars (that includes stevia). What you can eat? Plenty of protein, veggies, a few fruits, a few nuts… [Read more…]

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a showcase of the top gluten free items I’m using these days.

These little buggers can make you look like a super chef in 10 minutes or less (scroll down to see how to do this), and provide a myriad of health benefits.

My birthday month has been a culinary delight thus far! I can’t begin to tell you how much I love food, love cooking it, and am learning to love seeing what others create in their pursuit of a fabulous meal or dessert for our enjoyment. That last one is tougher for me to get my… [Read more…]

Remember that ad jingle, “I feel like chicken tonight…chicken tonight!” I can say that most nights of the week, I do not agree. I rarely feel like chicken tonight & I’d imagine if you’ve been doing the “healthy kick” since Jan 1, you’ve been doing a lot of baked chicken for its’ healthy-ness & may… [Read more…]

This would be a Key Lime Pie, home made, that is completely Gluten Free – yes, even the crust. If there were one thing that were annoying about being GF, it would be that even though I can still enjoy the cheesecake part of a cheesecake when served at special occasions, no one was making a… [Read more…]
