High Maintenance Thanksgiving begins!!



So tomorrow we leave for Dallas for thanksgiving and this year its a little tricky! I have to bring a cooler in the car so I can bring all my gluten free food. I've had to email my mom several time (poor mom) asking her to save all the food labels on the things she is cooking or what other people are bringing JUST so I can read the ingredient list to make sure there is no gluten. We've basically just singled out my meal. Instead of stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. I will enjoy a sweet potato, spinach salad, turkey (without the gravy), and my brown rice bread! No pumpkin pie for me but at least my mom did by some Nana's cookies and coconut milk Yogurt. Now this doesn't seem to bad, but here's the tricky part. Because my gut is healing on a gluten free diet, I'm not supposed to have dairy for at least 7 months and I need to back down on soy products so that I don't form an allergy there too! Geeze, what the heck is left!?! Well, I found some products (of course not the cheapest) that keep me quite satisfied! First of all, the Wild Wood Art Cafe here in Austin has saved my life (okay just exaggerating but they are DARN GOOD). They bake everything Gluten free and a lot of other things dairy free. I go in an order a lot for less than I would at the grocery store. So good. My favorites are their brown rice bread (hot out of the oven), dairy free (DF) and gluten free (GF) pumpkin muffins and banana nut muffins, and they even have amazing DF and GF granola and cranberry bread! James likes these more than regular muffins! Other staples I found are below.





All these are dairy free and gluten free. There is a GOD! Now I am praying to win the lottery so we buy in bulk, ha!

Happy thanksgiving!

I'm with on that sis-tah.

I don't "have to" go gluten free but when it's taper time i cut back to almost no wheat at all. Mostly a ton of bananas and apples and salad. I feel a lot better and my diet feels cleaner too. I know that I can sustain this when the training load is low but will have to return to BREAD when the hours get back up there. Only so much fruit, rice and potatoes that I can eat. :)

Oh yeah... i ditched soy milk about a month ago in favor of almond milk. MUCH BETTER!!! That and enviorkids cereal.

Breaky is usually that cereal with almond milk some granola and chopped banana with one or two apples. It works for now... not so much when 35 hours is on the docket for the week.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I begin take up real money.
It's all about how to select a correct partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.

You may ask, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
