bathrobes and comfort foods
It gets cold fast around here. One day you're using your air-conditioning and the next, your heater. I actually checked my bathrobe for spiders before putting it on, I can't even remember when I wore it last. This gluten free diet is a real challenge. I wake up and my brain automatically thinks of the old foods...oatmeal, cheerios, toast with jam, all things that I can no longer eat. This old dog has some new tricks to learn. I have my own shelf in the pantry and I continually stare at it. All the wrappers look foreign and the foods are unusual to me, nothing has turned into comfort food yet...I think I need that to happen.
Just like bathrobes...foods feel like old friends that get left on that hook behind your bedroom door, minus the spiders, of course.

I´ve been trying to eat more healthy for the last couple of weeks. After researching a bit I find the supplies in my cupboard foreign too. I don´t know how to prepare certain things, others taste funny. But I am sure there will be comfort in the healthy too.
If you come across some yummy recipes, please share them :) xOx Silvia

Gluten free chocolate cake is yummy i will hunt for the recipe for you. Just for a treat!!!
Love to you always xx
I hope your new strange foods become comfort food soon. I know what you mean. You need that. When I had to do the hard-core anti-candida diet, it took a long time for me to find some a couple of items that became my new "junk foods".
God give Darlene the strength to do this. Give her some comfort foods. Amen.
Wonderful catching up on the last few blog posts ... I know the new diet takes some getting used to ... but remember, this is the food that your body needs to be nurtured. The pieces of your wellness are the quilt that you can wrap yourself in. Much peace and love, xx, deb
Love the photo...I hope soon the food will feel as good as the old comfy robe!
Will call you soon. Jill leaved tomorrow!
I'm trying to think about eggs and fruit in the morning, but wow, it almost doesn't seem natural!
I'll give you my recipe for peanut butter muffins.
1 C. peanut butter (no sugar added, no additives, good stuff, may also use almond butter)
1/2 C. honey
2 eggs
1/4 t. baking soda.
300' for about 22 minutes.
May you find comfort. : )

Of course.
As you explore the new diet, you will come to the realization that more than one of the foods will be put into your shopping cart first and more frequently.
Perhaps it will be the "cute" design of the packaging. Perhaps it will be the fond remembrance of the last time you tasted it. Perhaps it will be the nuance of flavor that keeps you coming back. But most importantly is the fact that the container can be used as a defense (weapon) against spiders.
Glad to know that your new adventure into things culinary are going well and that you are feeling at least a tad bit better. (I am sure it is more than a tad bit.)
May love, peace and good health be with you always.
I give you so much credit for progressing with your gluten-free diet. I can only imagine how difficult it would be. But I do understand that it is very necessary. And I know that you will find more comfort foods soon!
Bathrobes.......yours looks so comfy too. I like when the weather changes a little and you just need something soft to throw on and snuggle in it! But this morning I had to kick on the air conditioning! Maryland weather is unpredictable!
Thank you for your sweet comments on my post. I read your post often because I think about you and all that you have been through. I admire you so much and your desire to keep at it!!!!! I just don't always comment. You are an amazing woman....and beautiful to boot!
There is such a learning curve, but once you get there, it all becomes second nature...and you will find new comfort foods. It's a big change though. I hope that it is making you feel better (you look amazingly beautiful)and that it all starts feeling familar very soon.
love to you.xoxo
I think gluten free is one the most challenging diets out there! I admire you, Darlene, I'd be kicking and whining by now!
what a great picture. It seems you are getting younger and younger looking in your photos. Wish that would happen to me:)
Is gluten bad for certain people, or bad for everyone?
I'm lost on this gluten thing.
