Of a very pregnant (over 40 weeks and counting!) lady…on maternity leave… Wake up 4+ times throughout the night. Finally get up for good some time between 6-8 am. Drink weak tea with almond milk and maple syrup. Wonder how much longer til you can guzzle caffeine again. Make breakfast #1. A bowl of oats with nut butter & bananas. I usually have half the banana at a time since it seems to give me reflux now (realistically everything does). Play on the computer. Respond to emails and blog comments. Make & prep food… Read more >

Remember when I totally teased you guys, showing off these amazing nut butters? So far I’ve tried the cinnamon molasses cashew butter and the cashew nilla cashew butter. [Drool] And as you can probably guess, both were outstanding. They’re the kind of nut butters that are so unique you can’t quite put your finger on what it is about the flavor that’s so good, but you want to keep digging your spoon into the jar over and over again. The cinnamon molasses one has a cookie like flavor to it, while still being very… Read more >

What a tease of a post title! Ok, but seriously, there are two things that I cannot wait to share. Both are in the photo below. Number 1. The bread. Technically it’s still a work in progress, but already I can tell it’s got lots of potential. It’s the best I’ve done yet. And for a gluten free breadmaker recipe, it’s good enough to share. Because this GF bread doesn’t use bean flours. And I threw everything in the breadmaker just like I would with a wheat loaf. I am so freakin’… Read more >

Not a typical statement (or opinion). For me at least. But I’m being honest here. Between the hours of noon and 5 pm, I graze. Meals have no room here anymore. And I’m not super proud of what has been going in my mouth this last week. It’s not terrible stuff. But it still leaves me feeling blah. I can do better. I miss well balanced full meals. They’re easier to build – with all the macronutrients represented. And they leave me sated for hours (until my next full meal). Grazing is confusing. I’m not… Read more >

This was my breakfast last Sunday. Then again on Monday. And then again on Wednesday. [Tuesday I went back to the egg and toast routine] There’s no saying how long this will last… Just one massive pancake. The whole batter poured into the 8 inch pan. It’s so fun to eat when it goes on forever and covers the whole plate. These photos are semi-deceiving. These are large dinner plates…making this a pretty sizable flapjack. Oat Peanut Pancake [FODMAPs friendly, gluten free, dairy free; serves 1] Ingredients: 5 tbsp oat flour (certified… Read more >
