The search for healthy delicious foods

I have been in a life long search to find healthy delicious foods that work for my health and my body. Always seeking to find the latest and greatest in foods and flavors that work best for me and my health. I am working to keep my body energetic and fit while overcoming health obstacles that I never imagined would be on my journey in this lifetime.

I am writing this blog in the hopes to help others who are on the same journey. Busy women who are on a health quest for themselves and their families. Women who need to keep their energy high and their emotions on track daily so they can be a Proverbs 31 woman. (More to come about that later.)

I am by no means an expert. Just a layperson who has taken advice from others (professionals, friends and others) and found that I have discovered more along the way than I ever could have imagined and I am sure to learn so much more.

My new discovery; A gluten-free diet is amaz-mo. Food tastes better! You have more energy! You feel satisfied and full faster!

I have been eating gluten-free for two weeks. So far, it is amazingly easy. Probably due to the fact that I have always tried to watch what I eat and  I love fruits and vegetables.

I really don't think I have Celiac disease, but I do think after these two weeks that I have a sensitivity to gluten. I have not had a change in migraine headache patterns, but I do have more energy throughout the day, including waking up.

My entire life, most days it has taken me 1-3 hours to feel awake. I do not eat breakfast right away and then I will eat a breakfast of cereal made of a wheat product and almond milk and a half hour later my tummy feels funny. The last two weeks with no gluten, I am waking up, my brain is up within a half-hour and I am ready to get on with my day. I am actually hungry and eat a quick breakfast of gluten-free flakes with almond milk and a banana and I am feeling great in a half-hour.


On this blog, I will share different foods and little tips that I have find
 
makes a difference in my health and hopefully will make a difference to others too. The plan is soon to incorporate juicing. Because I am allergic to mango, I have been afraid to get a smoothy from any business because they always have mango on the menu. I do not want to take a chance of what my husband calls "cross-contamination".  If I try juicing at home I may get an amazing result. Stay tuned for next Sunday's blog.

Sugar Cravings, Detox and More

So my hubby was selected by his company to be a lead in a certain group which meant he would be traveling for 4 days. Perfect, I thought. I will only eat vegies or fruit, and drink coffee, tea or water. My fav foods are vegies and fruit. I know I need protein so I eat it, but if I didn't have to I wouldn't eat it everyday. I love, vegies, fruit and desert. In fact one of my fav meals is a huge vegie plate and a pint of Hagen Daaz Gelato. So...I decided to do a detox while my hubby was out of town. $72.00 for what I felt was 4 days worth of fruits and vegetables. I did the detox. Only water, coffee or tea. Only vegetables or fruits. No sauces, no sugars, no condiments except herbs and spices. Every day about 3p, I started getting a headache. I would eat a piece of fruit. That wouldn't help. I decided after those 3 days that I am addicted to sugar. So I am now working my way to be sugar free with the exception of fruits. The holidays are proving challenging because of f...

Gluten-Free Organic Snacking

I love to snack. Ha ha ha ha. It's an uphill climb. I love to snack. It makes me a merrier me. (Sing to the tune of "I love to laugh" from the movie Merry Poppins) I also love pretzels. My fav is pretzels dipped in salsa. Yummy. I could almost eat an entire bag at a time. I found these amazing pretzels from Glutino. Gluten-free, egg-free, milk-free, casein-free. Completely delicious. Salty, crunchy. I ate an entire half bag today. I have eaten 3 bags in 3 weeks. One for each week I have been gluten-free. My husband has decided he loves them too and so do my folks. So much so we had to have 3 bags at the house just in case we feel like snacking. There is a new yogurt out that is a dip. My fav is cucumber and dill. So yummy on those amazing Glutino Pretzels. I am also digging grapes. My new fav fruit snack. Here's the kicker. I went to Fort Wayne, Indiana. Ft. Wayne is known to be a product and advertising test market because of it's Americana demographic...

Digestion being Gluten-FreeFollow my blog with Bloglovin

Since the first day I started gluten-free. I have notice my food is digesting immediately. My system is also making much more noise. LOL. I am a little afraid to eat in public. I thought maybe it was just because I was eating so many grapes. I have found it is after every meal for about a half hour. The neat thing about this immediate digestion is that my stomach area is not bloated all day like it used to be. I do notice tummy bloat if I eat just a little bit of gluten on accident. For example, you would think beef jerky would be gluten free. apparently not. I ate a little. It tasted delicious. I didn't realize it had any gluten. The next morning I woke up with a funny taste in my mouth and a bloated tummy all day long. I didn't put two and two together until I read the back of the beef jerky packaging. Warning: Contains wheat and soy. My PA (Physician's Assistant) says my headaches will often get worse with major nausea. I am hoping the gluten free...
