Breathing CAN go a long way, if you remember to do it! I often forget and instead get overwhelmed, overworked, and stressed out. Trying really hard to get a grip over here, and it's not going so well. We are working hard on becoming a gluten free/dairy free household. Hardest. Thing. Ever.
This was a simple simple crock pot gluten free meal. Chicken in broth, add some onion and whole celery sticks. Put it on high for 4 hours, take out, shred, add lots of hot sauce (make sure it's gluten free Val) and then you make lettuce wraps topped with fresh shredded carrots - thanks only to Pampered Chef for that amazingly awesome tool! Sprinkle some bleu cheese and fresh celery, wrap, slowly consume and be happy. A bit on the spicy side, but all around good and satisfying.
Remember the experimental tulip bulbs I rescued? Well they were planted, struggled a bit, and then thrived. This picture is not them thriving, I had just planted them. The yellow one bloomed, the red one thats all bent over had a hard time, but then reached back up into the sunlight and started to bloom. I stepped out to take a picture of my happy tulips only to find the flowers dismantled and thrown out of my dirt...I'm pretty confident that I have Isabel to thank for that one. Looks like she played "loves me, loves me not"...I'll try to replant them but this might have been too much for them. The garden in the back of this picture will hopefully one day be all grass.
A girlfriend gave me this book - sorry for the blur - and it's amazing! It gives me the baby talk that I need to be able to execute this change without the stress of just not knowing how to make anything. I've been looking at my pantry, and I'm thinking that I might have to go through and get rid of everything I have and just start over. The more we learn about this diet, and they way that humans are suppose to be eating, I cringe every time I open a cupboard. I have pounds of flour that I will never be able to use again, so why keep them around. "The more you cook, the more you rot!" - A very smart man! Well shit, maybe I won't be doing as much "cooking" anymore.
My trillium is blooming. I wish these got taller. They're so low to the ground they're hard to see. But I have lots and they love where they are. This bunch is nestled between two different types of ferns, a very dainty Japanese fern, and the good ol' Washington found ones. (I don't know it's book name)
Remember the dandelions? Well, we got most of it cleared. We stopped just past the last blueberry bush, and then had a major discussion. It involves the removal of ANOTHER 3 trees, and I...don't want to talk about that yet.
