Meanwhile…

I haven’t been sharing as much “extra” stuff on the blog because the day to day SIBO posts have been taking over.  Here are some of the other things that have been going on. Basil thieves!  I love it, of course. 🙂 Random lunch. Nectarine picking time!  They are juuuuust about ripe, but I want to get them before the birds do. Here she is examining her “gymnastics camp” outfit (it’s actually just a class, as opposed to open gym, but she has wanted to be in camp so that’s what I am calling it)…. Read more >

Day 15: comfort and zoodles

Double breakfast action because the heel slice of the zucchini bread with cashew butter wasn’t quite enough. The muffin was from a friend.  She did the whole30 thing last summer and totally gets food allergies/sensitivities, so when she gave me a baggy of paleo muffins after our playdate yesterday I knew I was going to have to sample them. She sweetened them with banana and “minimal” maple syrup so it did have a touch of sugar, but I only had one muffin.  They were so good! For lunch I made a huge tuna salad.  The… Read more >

Day 13 and Day 14: kombucha and kimchi

The last of the yummy baked zucchini thing…womp womp.  Big old sad face now that that’s gone. I had a modest amount of cashew butter (by my standards) because I had two coffees with almond milk as well.  I haven’t been having that second cup since the first week of this charade so I was more full than usual. This lunch had me swooning because the pork was soooo salty, and thanks to the perfectly ripe and massive avocado, the balance was absolutely fantastic.  You can’t tell how much meat was there, but it was… Read more >

Day 12: no more cravings

Guys, I’m crushing it.  I think I just needed to get over the first week of this diet because all of a sudden things are just so much better. I’m feeling full but not bloated or gassy or uncomfortable and eating things I enjoy and not feeling deprived and…it feels so nice and easy!!  Man.  I’m glad I pushed through because for a couple of days there, the idea of doing this for another couple of weeks was seeming terrible. Don’t get me wrong, I’m ready to open my dietary repertoire back up, but at… Read more >

Day 11: a lot of full

Look at where I am after breakfasting on this a mere two days. It’s sooooo yummy.  I plan on making another loaf as soon as this is done, but of course I didn’t write down the recipe so I’m not too sure if I can replicate it just right.  I’ll definitely try. Cashew buttah for always. This lunch was so good I went and made another slice for myself after this was gone, even though I was nearing full.  As a result I was pretty much stuffed for the rest of the day.  Smoked salmon… Read more >
