Random Food Discoveries & Empathy

Empathy: Took a couple weeks off to work on healing me. In my journey of healing and healing discovery, another friend has thyroid issues and headaches. I surely hope sometime soon that all doctors and PA's begin to realize that for many women there is a direct correlation between thyroid issues and migraine headaches.

Another friend of mine had Graves disease and headaches. Yet another friend whose Father passed from thyroid cancer, now has thyroid issues and headaches. I am praying someone, a medical student, a medical researcher, decides to research our thyroid/headache correlations.

Random Food:
Finding tasty gluten free food is much easier now than ever. Also recipes are easier. In fact, I made one of my own on an old favorite. Chocolate Rice Chex Crispy Squares with chocolate icing. So yummy and truly too sweet. You can only eat a little square.

 
Rice crackers are good. They have alot of flavor without alot of seasoning. Very crispy. Taste great with the buttery flavor and texture of brie cheese or alone.
 

 
Hmm. Finally soup without wheat as a thickening agent. So yummy. Great flavor, but too much seasoning for me. Will probably eat it again though.
 

 
Have a Happy Healthy Day.

Ketogenic diet

In my search for Health-a-licious foods, (delicious foods that lead to good health). I often have conversations that lead to interesting new ideas and theories. I have recently given up caffeine...again...to see if that makes a difference in my racing heart rate (could just be that my thyroid effects it)...So to get to the point,  I was sitting in a Starbucks drinking my caffeine-free, sugar-free tea and eating my fat filled, gluten-filled, teeny-tiny breakfast sandwich. The conversation lead to health and food. My friend brought up a Ketogenic diet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet It is an amazing theory based on science and things we have heard before with the Atkins diet or the South Beach diet, but with a twist. It is high fat, low protein, low carbohydrate. The theory being that it  helps people who suffer from seizures to not suffer from seizures. I wish I would have know this last week. (My sister's beloved family pet just passed away from health issue...

Make Ahead & Freeze Gluten Free Recipes.

After 8 months of gluten free eating my husband is on board to cook gluten free meals for me. He is an amazing cook. He is creative, follows the recipe and adds his own flair to make the recipe all his own. He even came in 2nd at a huge chili cook off at our church. He has created two new home recipes for me. Both are make ahead recipes. Both are freezable. In our household we like to cook twice a week. Enough to be evening staple meals for two or three days. With only two of us it makes it easier than most families of 4 or more. With these new freezable recipes we have been trying, we can cook on Sunday and have meals for a month if we choose. These recipes can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months. Pizza Tot Casserole 1 1/2lbs ground beef                                     ...

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...
