This is it...
Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog. I feel like it is important for you to understand my motivation to be healthy while enjoying life. I have lived for so long concentrating on the glass being half empty rather than half full. This is my public commitment to change that way of thinking and just be happy.

Please feel free to comment and call me out when I get off track. Also, let me know what I am missing or what would be a great addition to make my blog better.

Let's do this!

Pizza Crust....

Quinoa pasta is the closest thing I have tasted to pasta in a long time. I made Italian chicken with a table spoon of Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and parsley to taste and just mixed it in with the pasta. It was quick easy and something different on the Menu. I MISS ITALIAN FOOD!

Coincidently even before I started this diet I couldn’t eat pasta because it caused such crazy stomach pain so I said something to the doctor. Now 40 something days into this it all makes sense. It is worth it to try some of these gluten and yeast free recipes to see what I can handle. The link to the recipe below is also yeast free.
