I hope you have been enjoying a wonderful summer. It has been super busy around here but we have been having so much fun. It has become harder and harder for me to capture a days worth of meals, I end up halfway done eating and realize I never took a picture! So, for the next few weeks of summer, I am going to highlight my favorite meals of the week no matter what day they occur. </font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">I so excited that we were able to move our new bigger camper to our permanent space on the bay. We grew out of the little guy and now I have a real kitchen, no more covering the sink with a cutting board to make coffee! So hopefully some of my meals will be taken there soon. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" style="border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none" alt="Smile" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-KCiM-MYaPBM/UhSoph9iIyI/AAAAAAAAMA0/zrGY-02ttoc/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800"></font></p> <center><a href="http://www.peasandcrayons.com/" target="_blank"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img border="0" src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f210/klutzycutie16/WIAWbutton.jpg"></font></a></center> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Breakfast: Favorite breakfast still remains Avocado (gluten free) toast with tofu eggs on top.

It has a thick texture that can withstand marinating and grilling. I created a “steak” marinate by combining a mixture of 2 tbsp. olive oil, a dash of balsamic vinegar, a few shakes of liquid smoke, some Braggs liquid aminos, a tsp. of Dijon, 1/2 tsp. grain mustard, and 2 tbsp. water and a dash of toasted sesame oil. I whisked it until it was emulsified. Then I blended in sea salt, pepper, and Mrs. Dash Steak seasoning. The marinade actually tasted like grilled steak. It is amazing. I sliced the tofu into 1/4 inch pieces and marinated them for one hour, turning once.</font></span></p> <p><font size="4"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: century schoolbook; color: #0295ae"> </span><br></font><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Gh50I2UNiW8/T4wGEg3VlYI/AAAAAAAAE3k/ffaZfljIXK8/s1600-h/P1050088%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: century schoolbook; color: #0295ae"><font size="4"><img title="P1050088" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1050088" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-0s6Y7fHPs14/T4wGFCEoqaI/AAAAAAAAE3s/uV3L0SIXto4/P1050088_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="535" height="406"></font></span></a><br><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: century schoolbook; color: #0295ae"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: century schoolbook; color: #0295ae"><font size="4">While the tofu was marinating, I prepared my grill packs.

After another busy beach bum weekend, my WIAW meals were pretty simple. Sometimes simple meals are the most satisfying. I keep finding myself making a lot of repeat meals, but that is due to the simple deliciousness of them, not because I have not felt like making more complex meals. Since last WIAW, it was a busy week. I made an appearance on In the Afterlife with Theresa Roba and Carol Velez, fun but scary in front of a live audience and a camera broadcasting a live internet feed! My nerves faired better than I expected, I was happy to share some info and get a few minutes in front of and audience. It was good practice for the upcoming classes I plan on teaching.</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Here is a picture of Mya and me before the show, me, Mya and mom at the show, and a brief clip of me speaking at the <a href="http://www.r3wellnesscenter.com/">R3 Wellness Center</a>. </font></p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="200"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ATHyWTwxq24/UeZ-aaaHy_I/AAAAAAAALqk/I9kK7Y4-x10/s1600-h/P1120497%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ATHyWTwxq24/UeZ-aaaHy_I/AAAAAAAALqs/as1vu7DVo5U/s1600-h/P1120497%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img title="P1120497" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1120497" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-M9GPldS5-3w/UeZ-bEQP1JI/AAAAAAAALqw/nuDfo4MjXjg/P1120497_thumb%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="260" height="354"></a></font></a></td> <td valign="top" width="200"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-CjF_zzcI_2k/UeZ-bld-1eI/AAAAAAAALq8/yZ7uaG2eg3c/s1600-h/P1120506%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-CjF_zzcI_2k/UeZ-bld-1eI/AAAAAAAALrE/mkmiLS-V6p4/s1600-h/P1120506%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img title="P1120506" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1120506" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-JPQxRSb4E6E/UeZ-cu6CcMI/AAAAAAAALrI/uykHjTAbGuQ/P1120506_thumb%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="268" height="358"></a></font></a></td></tr></tbody></table> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font> </p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400" border="0"> <tbody> <tr><object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/54n8CgfjKK8?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/54n8CgfjKK8?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> <td valign="top" width="200"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font></td> <td valign="top" width="200"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-CjF_zzcI_2k/UeZ-bld-1eI/AAAAAAAALrE/mkmiLS-V6p4/s1600-h/P1120506%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font></a></td></tr></tbody></table> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">My mom, Carol, and Theresa gave some amazing readings to people who came hoping to reconnect with past loved ones.

I put the other half straight in the fridge for tomorrow’s breakfast. </font></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-OJEQbsk7J_c/UeZ-n0wOh1I/AAAAAAAALuo/I82rp4eINxE/s1600-h/P1120586%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1120586" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1120586" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-j-rP1tcdR4g/UeZ-ocY9BVI/AAAAAAAALuw/ULb_UEaZRoI/P1120586_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="398"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">The combo of avocado and tofu eggs is perfect, the really ripe avocado lends a yolk like flavor and texture to the tofu egg. </font></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-k_WTf8ZGCHQ/UeZ-o4TQBvI/AAAAAAAALu4/lvONeltct_4/s1600-h/P1120591%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1120591" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1120591" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-LgIdofpDu_U/UeZ-pIbcjEI/AAAAAAAALu8/RrwWaKofnbY/P1120591_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="565" height="400"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-2KBQWwIerz8/UeZ-puxhahI/AAAAAAAALvI/HVbQ6o-AHeY/s1600-h/P1120593%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1120593" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1120593" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-P97CcAQNHic/UeZ-p4LpSyI/AAAAAAAALvQ/Raa4Df3BrCA/P1120593_thumb%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="375"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">This meal with coffee comes in at just about 400 calories including the little bit of Earth Balance buttery spread!

I grew up spending weekends on the rivers of the Chesapeake Bay in a little private beach community. A few Wednesday’s ago I told the story of meeting up with a childhood friend at a party that grew up spending summers on that same beach, just four doors from me. She and her husband were going to visit this past weekend and invited us to come along. I was so happy at the thought of visiting the quaint place that me and my brother spent so many summer days laughing, swimming and trying to avoid getting bit by mosquitos.</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ZFD11KjubTk/Ud1AYqE0kII/AAAAAAAALiU/HNVfg-SyRJk/s1600-h/white%252520crystal%252520collage_thumb%25255B1%25255D%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="white crystal collage_thumb[1]" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="white crystal collage_thumb[1]" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Sp-f3Lg52HU/Ud1AZO4W6XI/AAAAAAAALic/blevdG78lvw/white%252520crystal%252520collage_thumb%25255B1%25255D_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="525" height="748"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">We arrived by noon Saturday.

Mya was free to play and be her nature loving self, Andy had a best friend to throw horseshoes with, I had so many people to talk to and catch up with. I also got to spend some floating in the bay quality time with Helen, who has been a second mom to me. She lives in the Baltimore area and although we speak frequently, there is nothing like an in person visit! The highlight was also seeing my friend Jamie and meeting her family for the first time. We were inseparable as kids, she lived on the farm at the top of the street and we spent a lot of time there. Our families were so close. She and her family came over for Fireworks on the beach, it was too dark for me to get any good pics. Mya had the time of her life. She cannot wait to go back. I think next What I Ate Wednesday will be meals from White Crystal. Camp site cooking is my favorite.</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">We woke up and had our coffee of the beach at 5:30am listening to the waves gently roll over the beach.

Once cooked I topped the noodles with diced grape tomatoes, some pine nuts and a shake of vegan parmesan. The beans were the side and at the last minute, I heated a bag of grilled artichokes I tossed in bbq sauce to go along side. </font></p> <p><img src="http://www.wegmans.com/prodimg/453/500/824086493453.jpg"></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-3oSdYGzpzSQ/Ud1Aru_nVNI/AAAAAAAALoE/RH2WUrIDObI/s1600-h/P1120481%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1120481" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="P1120481" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-OJ-teWeMc38/Ud1AsOoDFGI/AAAAAAAALoM/YVtDTOp9BPs/P1120481_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-odwm025oGfQ/Ud1AsV0c-TI/AAAAAAAALoU/grUdRvn5svI/s1600-h/P1120484%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1120484" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="P1120484" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-EI4YUsH1OIs/Ud1As5rEPdI/AAAAAAAALoc/qRXRfr8Cmm8/P1120484_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="537" height="407"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-D6x-zIHPPMo/Ud1AtbxvdkI/AAAAAAAALok/fL6fq4gF2Ms/s1600-h/P1120486%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1120486" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="P1120486" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-aVjSSTOw1nA/Ud1At8Hf9FI/AAAAAAAALos/gCHZLipNR-4/P1120486_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="542" height="412"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-oOWUonQHj9k/Ud1AuMj_rPI/AAAAAAAALo0/yqamDYhK7xc/s1600-h/P1120492%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1120492" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="P1120492" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-KtZXlVcmjMM/Ud1AulRWGNI/AAAAAAAALo8/fe_pbXrNVmM/P1120492_thumb%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="545" height="657"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_b0W3rjmIPs/Ud1AvBZs6KI/AAAAAAAALpE/FjfxhVrGCIA/s1600-h/P1120476%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1120476" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="P1120476" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-UX-mT1h2cxo/Ud1AvRZATEI/AAAAAAAALpM/csjnqCPIsNQ/P1120476_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="402"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-TwJjOrWd8yU/Ud1Av_sjujI/AAAAAAAALpU/xPCvZHD1caY/s1600-h/P1120490%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1120490" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="P1120490" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-vXxIixFvbYM/Ud1AwYMqGtI/AAAAAAAALpc/Am6oc3QrNe0/P1120490_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">This perfect summer meal was under 200 calories and left plenty of room for a shake later on in the night! </font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Thanks so much for stopping by this Wednesday!

I hope you are enjoying these first few weeks of summer. I know we are. Heat and humidity after a long winter does not seem so bad. I much prefer summer to winter. I love the early sunrises and having breakfast outside. I love the outdoors. I hope to get some hiking, biking, camping and some water sports in this summer. So far it has been food, swimming and office work. Not a bad start, I love working from home. Mya is having a blast having her friends over. I just love seeing them laughing and having a good time like I remember my childhood summers. </font></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-RLkn1_IRslw/UcrOhoSb1HI/AAAAAAAALM0/MOpCVKUXBEQ/s1600-h/wiaw%25252071%252520col%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="wiaw 71 col" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="wiaw 71 col" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-zhlFKyjajvI/UcrOh0v7j8I/AAAAAAAALM8/wmuaiBdrDFE/wiaw%25252071%252520col_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="550"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Update:</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">I am happy to say I have been gluten free for nearly four months. This was by choice out of nutritional curiosity. I have many people ask me if I can help with gluten issues in my health coaching practice. What started as a temporary change became a permanent one. No headaches and a much flatter belly are the things I notice most. I accidently ingested some gluten last week and bloated up immediately, I was shocked. I am also pleasantly surprised to discover that I have not had any cravings, even when visiting the bakery. My exercise routine has become much more condensed and I have seen better results with the new effort. Overall, I am quite pleased with my whole program. This WIAW I am sharing some of the meals that I ate this week for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Tofu Eggs two ways:</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">This skillet was a tofu scramble of sweet potato, garlic, onion, black beans, corn, peppers, kale, and diced tomatoes. </font></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Jx_0-FODLVg/UcrOiabYY6I/AAAAAAAALNE/qmxmHirkWnk/s1600-h/tofu%252520black%252520bean%252520scrammble%252520%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="tofu black bean scrammble " style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="tofu black bean scrammble " src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-AT_BixfWJWs/UcrOilfeaWI/AAAAAAAALNM/gShMZoeaUtM/tofu%252520black%252520bean%252520scrammble%252520_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="525" height="525"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">This spicy mix is packed with protein and fiber and not many calories.

Since most of Andy’s family have not seen Pat in twelve years as well, a Father’s day picnic seemed like the perfect way to celebrate his visit and our dads. My dad came up with his puppy.

We lost one of our best friends, our beloved dog Booey. She was 12 and suffered a stroke. She had been ours since Andy rescued her from a dumpster when she was a five week old pup. She was Mya’s buddy and never left her side since she was born. It was hard to say goodbye, but Mya knew it was time and handled it well. She believes Booey is now an Angel watching over her. She cried a lot but is happy not to see her best friend suffer. Prince did not eat for two days, he was so sad. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-sadsmile" style="border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none" alt="Sad smile" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-8C3Cc2XNbEw/Ua6bbZg37tI/AAAAAAAAK1M/CQcPX8yxpEM/wlEmoticon-sadsmile2.png?imgmax=800"> Booey will always be loved and missed dearly. </font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-HoJ3Kfa8rv4/Ua6bbrUGdoI/AAAAAAAAK1Y/b8Hc0y2Yrgk/s1600-h/booey-Collage-polorid7.png"><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="booey Collage polorid" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="booey Collage polorid" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-k651gi1q6-A/Ua6bcjJhQlI/AAAAAAAAK1g/VSw3Zcjqfgc/booey-Collage-polorid_thumb5.png?imgmax=800" width="565" height="667"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook">The events following were happy, Mya had her first dance on Friday, it was a father/daughter mother/son dance. She was so excited and insisted on a teal dress. She wanted matching hair accessories and jewelry, that’s so not like her! They were harder to find than I thought, and especially the shoes. I went ten places, and considering her shoe choices at home consist of several pairs of sneakers, snow board boots and flip flops! Nothing dressy! I ended up finding a dress at Marshall’s, shoes at Target, and accessories at Wal-Mart. She loved the whole ensemble. Andy was really looking forward to taking her.</font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-aG3oUj7QCww/Ua6bdAGVKAI/AAAAAAAAK1o/R5yYiRGfeYA/s1600-h/first-dance4.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="first dance" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="first dance" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-2kwSyxohnvQ/Ua6bdtGA0YI/AAAAAAAAK1w/l3FhGHY0zDs/first-dance_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="529" height="529"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook">She was outside sweating all day for a 90+ degree field day.

I took one look into her stunning eyes and my childhood summers flashed before my eyes. OMG, we grew up spending our summers together from two to sixteen at a very small remote beach community on the Chesapeake Bay more than two hours from our current homes. It had been about 20 years since I have seen her! All the childhood memories came rushing back. We laughed for hours reminiscing of the simple fun we had as kids with nothing more than our imagination and whatever nature provided. What a small world. Whether we were swimming, catching frogs, or playing kick the can, ghost in the graveyard, or flashlight tag at night, we were never bored. We were constantly coated in a potent layer of OFF to keep the mosquitos away from our Aqua-net sprayed bangs! Those were the days. Twenty years and two hours away, connected to an old friend. Ironically we also have been both with our husbands 21 years, we even got married at the same place!

I put the base of rice on a plate, then add some chopped spring mix lettuce and cilantro from my garden on mine alone! Then, I place my enchilada on top with a shaving of Dayia jalapeno cheese. In less than 9 minutes, lunch is served, and it’s a lot healthier than Mexican from a Bell!</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook"> </font><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-txTa48Ql840/UaXa1J0RPZI/AAAAAAAAKyA/-uZWanwCXbs/s1600-h/P1110281%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1110281" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1110281" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-LAIRCi4Fhlg/UaXa1twp8UI/AAAAAAAAKyI/A1XqfRGs2ZU/P1110281_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-79JT171w_hA/UaXa1-IouRI/AAAAAAAAKyQ/QkmbFRJxDYE/s1600-h/P1110284%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1110284" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1110284" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-lLeKw7Y_B2A/UaXa2RXKM3I/AAAAAAAAKyY/1pTY8_kRxwM/P1110284_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-a2MKf8llW8s/UaXa2ouoU0I/AAAAAAAAKyg/FA0hGhwBK1c/s1600-h/P1110300%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1110300" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1110300" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-G5aONTR3r44/UaXa3B25pMI/AAAAAAAAKyo/CHmthKoQfRw/P1110300_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-8BaijtEaJhE/UaXa3iV7QyI/AAAAAAAAKyw/RPheyHYM2nY/s1600-h/P1110282%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1110282" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1110282" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Cd_4UFJ9geY/UaXa4PKc7kI/AAAAAAAAKy4/8ijjBtBFENQ/P1110282_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="538" height="408"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook">The theme of Tuesday seemed to be RUSH.

Is there really anything as sweet as the first really ripe, perfect strawberry of the early summer season? I was so excited to see the store stocked with baskets of fresh organic strawberries, it feels like so long ago since I had one that was not frozen. Subconsciously I must have missed them far more than I knew. It wasn’t until I uploaded my pictures that I realized how many meals these ripe berries made their way into this WIAW. </font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-5FJIhdNJMFQ/UZyf7SKNEPI/AAAAAAAAKnI/_S1sllph-Z8/s1600-h/P1110199%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook"><img title="P1110199" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1110199" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-4eFJqHa3xoQ/UZyf7qKUR9I/AAAAAAAAKnQ/JsnyK9hdvck/P1110199_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="402"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook">Update: Eight weeks, still gluten free! I still have not noticed a grand difference that people say happens when you cut out wheat, but I have noticed minor changes, and I definitely feel like my stomach is much flatter and not bloated since the switch. The only GF products I have bought, other than things that are naturally GF, are brown rice bread and some pancake mix. Most GF products contain eggs or dairy, so that limits them since I am vegan. I eat so many vegetable based meals that I really don’t miss it. It makes it a little more difficult when I cook Mya and Andy meat substitutes, most contain gluten, so just I have tofu or tvp as my protein. But overall, I feel really good and I am happy to have made the switch. I know I can better serve my nutrition clients that have wheat allergies by having some experience eating GF. </font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook">My workouts are steadily becoming even more intense since bathing suit season is weeks away. Lots of cardio, strength training and a new love for yoga. When I was younger I tried yoga and thought it was too slow for me, now I love it and find it is such a great strength trainer and my flexibility increases each day, and I needed that! </font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook">Other than that, the count down for school to be done is on. I don’t know who is more excited, Mya, Andy or me. We love our long summer days and fun day trips.

It was quite a trip and I stayed on budget, well almost! <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile" style="border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none" alt="Winking smile" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-hTpwf7YlFmI/UZygBckAVuI/AAAAAAAAKpI/-iaBCgrdzec/wlEmoticon-winkingsmile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800"> Dad helped me with my two carts full at TJ’s and then with my other at Wegman’s.

Since I am the only one who eats it, and I only have one slice a day, the freezer is where my GF bread stash is kept. Sometimes, the slices do not want to come out so easily, they freeze together, so every time I pick up a loaf, I spend a few minutes keeping that from happening. </font></p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="466" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="200"><font color="#0295ae" size="3" face="Century Schoolbook">1.

When she can’t do something someone asks, she doesn't say “no”, she says, “now let’s figure this out”, and magically she always has a solution for them. I aspire to be more fearless like her and put my dreams in action, she encourages me to. All my crazy businesses would not have happened with out her encouragement.

The love you can have for a child is beautiful and merciless. It is as strong of a bond there could ever be. I wish every mother and woman who is like a mother to someone, to be blessed with joy and happiness. Spend time together, life is so short.

That is the question I keep asking myself as I desperately wish for my fresh garden vegetables. I live in the North East and by now it is usually so nice every day all you want to do is be outside. Not this year, even my morning heat keeps kicking on. I have happily decided to declare spring myself, before summer comes in a month. So bring on the berries and asparagus, I can’t wait any longer.</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Fme-TOYtba4/UXfB_IH_h-I/AAAAAAAAKE0/_IVzibmhycQ/s1600-h/wiaw%25252063%252520collage%252520pic%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="wiaw 63 collage pic" border="0" alt="wiaw 63 collage pic" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Sj_Ye4Kn8Ec/UXfB_pWSAAI/AAAAAAAAKE8/aHQLAMnesw8/wiaw%25252063%252520collage%252520pic_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="522" height="610"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Updates:</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">It has been about 5 full weeks that I have been both gluten free and calorie and nutrient tracking and I can say although slow at first, I can finally see and feel the results. I am four pounds down, three more to go and all of my exercise is paying off as well. I feel tighter and much better in jeans. Feeling good keeps me motivated and makes me want to keep striving for that goal. </font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">The other update is that I am really making progress on my book. I am spending hours a day organizing my thoughts and researching the best way to publish. My brain has been spinning with all the ideas and writing. I tease Andy that I need a desk in the shower, it seems my best ideas come to me in there, must be that there is no distractions! I will keep you all posted and get a sample chapter posted once I am further along.</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Onto the meals…</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-sqPriqulZjI/UXfB_ywlgtI/AAAAAAAAKFE/jhqbGjlnF6o/s1600-h/P1100678%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100678" border="0" alt="P1100678" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-CY6vq2NAjRA/UXfCAK4_onI/AAAAAAAAKFM/1YtiQTn4hV0/P1100678_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="402"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Once again, I am boring, I either have been eating one slice gluten free bread slathered with fresh ripe creamy avocado then topped with some tofu egg, or a super nutrient shake. Today I had both. A mini shake and my tofu egg on toast. I am getting used to the flavor and texture of the Raw Meal, now I am really liking it and it is a nutritional powerhouse. Even the gluten free brown rice bread has grown on me. I have not craved any breads.</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Shake today was 1/2 scoop vanilla Raw Meal, 1/2 banana, ice, 1/4 cup unsweetened soy yogurt and cinnamon.

I keep it in the freezer and then toast it twice to get the right color for me. It is not really nutritious but it is filling with my tofu egg, so I limit it to a few times a week. Smothered in avocado and topped with tofu egg and a few shavings of Daiya cheddar, it is super egg like!</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-hgDMMOBiw5k/UXfCBELjZAI/AAAAAAAAKFk/QzdVlqT74zA/s1600-h/P1100681%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100681" border="0" alt="P1100681" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-b3nMgMcg--Y/UXfCBWpS8sI/AAAAAAAAKFs/-0Pn8Z5tptc/P1100681_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="403"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">I only used about an ounce of tofu on this because I planned on having some tofu with lunch, I try not to eat more than four ounces a day.</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-sEuOcdoF7kE/UXfCBrTY9-I/AAAAAAAAKF0/JgjU-6ILjog/s1600-h/P1100686%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100686" border="0" alt="P1100686" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-HQuBOzZbytE/UXfCCHGWRxI/AAAAAAAAKF8/ty4WpbQsk08/P1100686_thumb%25255B14%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="569" height="431"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">I served Mya and Andy’s on wheat bread.

Spray one deep dish pie pan with non stick cooking spray. </font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">In a food processor, combine all ingredients except vegetables and cheese. Blend until smooth, scrape down sides as needed. Transfer to a bowl. Fold in chopped grilled veggies. Mine were one cup left over peppers, onions, zucchini, and 1 cup Tuscan kale cooked slightly with coconut oil. Stir in shredded cheese. Transfer to deep dish pie plate. Smooth mixture on top then garnish with asparagus spears. Bake at 375 for forty minutes until top is golden and beginning to pull away from sides. Allow to cool 20-30 minutes before serving. This keeps it warm, but allows it to set so it can be sliced. The black salt gives this an amazing egg flavor. I was so happy with this dish, I wished I made two!</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Cxq0i02nkfc/UXfCEn-NEtI/AAAAAAAAKG0/R4nEhhhwuqQ/s1600-h/vegan%252520quiche%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="vegan quiche" border="0" alt="vegan quiche" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NddlYG0nbvE/UXfCE3IEWVI/AAAAAAAAKG8/WUwR3SISOWU/vegan%252520quiche_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="530"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font> </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-7IIsKlcYfAM/UXfCFNywxeI/AAAAAAAAKHE/FgrgXpSqrNM/s1600-h/P1100700%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100700" border="0" alt="P1100700" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-fpp1MUjDDSs/UXfCFXfW5rI/AAAAAAAAKHM/3uEVTB8i_Kc/P1100700_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-NNfbXlupB3U/UXfCF4uPmbI/AAAAAAAAKHU/i-U56D72nfQ/s1600-h/P1100712%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100712" border="0" alt="P1100712" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-5xIRgBrDRVo/UXfCGAzGqdI/AAAAAAAAKHc/2Up_LsZlZXo/P1100712_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-wrXidqHJ1o4/UXfCGcMOJhI/AAAAAAAAKHk/MawJLJoLNTY/s1600-h/P1100708%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100708" border="0" alt="P1100708" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-PjLucevamZA/UXfCGprQP5I/AAAAAAAAKHs/mHuv8-w2ZHU/P1100708_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="540" height="411"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-qIrcBcogZPE/UXfCHIu6XwI/AAAAAAAAKH0/cPshLKpaky0/s1600-h/P1100742%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100742" border="0" alt="P1100742" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Z_BYZP4yd90/UXfCHS7SzSI/AAAAAAAAKH8/ipmeq80F9sU/P1100742_thumb%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="412"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-MTSPKTwRNu0/UXfCH6fdULI/AAAAAAAAKIE/5IJdq5P32U8/s1600-h/P1100722%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100722" border="0" alt="P1100722" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Q55BxL9BG-4/UXfCIHpw4GI/AAAAAAAAKIM/MyAXRIC3F6w/P1100722_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="538" height="408"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Sliced in 8 pieces, this quiche is on 160 calories and boasts 10 grams of protein!</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-WigCyyEcWwI/UXfCIRoBljI/AAAAAAAAKIU/VXk9qOlGFio/s1600-h/P1100719%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100719" border="0" alt="P1100719" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-hz7DpygP5Es/UXfCIm9D8dI/AAAAAAAAKIc/1H99XU7dfDk/P1100719_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="543" height="412"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Paired with a colorful salad and a cup of coffee for a 350 calorie nutrient packed lunch.

Thanks for stopping by. Mid April makes me so happy. Finally past taxes and the weather is getting better. It was quite a busy week for me. I spent it spring cleaning and rearranging rooms. You know, spring forward, out with the old and in with the new. Meals were almost secondary to the changes I worked on this week. Being gluten free for the past five weeks has stifled my creativity in the kitchen. People always think that being vegan is hard, but vegan is easy compared to gluten free! If we were further into spring/summer, I think it would be easier because fresh fruit and veggies would be more abundant and easier to make simple meals. But, alas, I did make it through another week. </font></p> <p align="center"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTa0WJ2Fvu2kGzj6AqCm5apZH0YQcn7R7c0BY2XglstM5uRzZvxMw"></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">The fifth going on six week gluten free experience has resulted in, ZERO headaches and clear skin. I have not had any miraculous weight loss and I still feel bloated sometimes, but my skin and occasional headaches seem to benefit the most. Please bear in mind, I am not allergic to gluten or intolerant, I did this originally to support Andy in an elimination diet to see how gluten effects him, and also as a cleanse to see if and how it would effect me. Since I read it can take up to six weeks to notice a difference without gluten, I plan on sticking it out another week. I do believe that I will implement a reduced gluten diet if I return to eating it at all.</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Breakfast:</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">I am sharing two breakfasts.

They took forever to cook. I tried to flip the first four too soon and ended up with one big blob. The next four I waited longer and added a bit of coconut oil to the pan. Although tasty, I recommend using a real recipe! They did keep me full until lunch.</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-mUHMlA1J4Qc/UW57HgwX4_I/AAAAAAAAJ_8/4E_7Hgq7x8s/s1600-h/P1100481%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100481" border="0" alt="P1100481" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-kNKvCGR7igQ/UW57H0AIypI/AAAAAAAAKAE/T9zDH6XG1fs/P1100481_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-0crmpzsFS2s/UW57IdtHjjI/AAAAAAAAKAM/PmT2TVZ5sMY/s1600-h/P1100480%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100480" border="0" alt="P1100480" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-_XoKVZrgiI4/UW57IjH2GbI/AAAAAAAAKAU/IToWWT7j50E/P1100480_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="545" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">The other breakfast I enjoyed this week was gluten free bread toasted and smeared with a thick layer of avocado, then topped my tofu eggs with just a touch of Daiya cheese on top.</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-EuA6bY8Dusw/UW57IzOXyjI/AAAAAAAAKAc/OKzlw6Nlapw/s1600-h/gluten%252520free%252520avocado%252520toast%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="gluten free avocado toast" border="0" alt="gluten free avocado toast" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-gEijH5ntpF0/UW57JQRX2sI/AAAAAAAAKAk/45LJhYuPiL8/gluten%252520free%252520avocado%252520toast_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="179"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-zujEAPU28hc/UW57J8rcgcI/AAAAAAAAKAs/UZLNiPhi2qU/s1600-h/P1100500%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100500" border="0" alt="P1100500" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-TS2EEn4xtUk/UW57KLZFQMI/AAAAAAAAKA0/pMHsU3UyyTU/P1100500_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bWDoyqO-sWw/UW57KZMCj2I/AAAAAAAAKA8/SdytFojgIJQ/s1600-h/P1100503%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100503" border="0" alt="P1100503" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-rw31sXKqX_4/UW57K2xMJzI/AAAAAAAAKBE/DKiB6BQCGA4/P1100503_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Lunch:</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Corn tortillas have been a staple in my meals while being gluten free.

I prefer My Net Diary to all the others I have tried. I recommend it to all my clients. When you begin to track every bite you eat, you gain a whole new perspective of calories and nutrition. I am on a plan until May 29 that puts me at just under 1400 calories a day. My goal in addition to calorie tracking is the ability to nutrient track. This helps me make the best meal choices based on nutrition, not calories. For example, I may choose to use water in a smoothie instead of coconut milk and substitute those calories for extra flax or chia seeds in my shake. I try to make sure I hit all my nutrient markers daily. This app makes that easy. I can also see if I had too much or not enough of something. I find it very helpful, I also find it helpful if you eat a lot of the same meals, as I do, you begin to remember how many calories and nutrients are in that meal. I provided a link to the site and app for the phone, just click on the logo if you want to check it out. </font></div> <div align="left"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font> </div> <p align="left"><a href="http://www.mynetdiary.com/iPhone.html"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQd-ocSM2FyfCJ6LOijb_Ne72ly47SeHBuRPerONMcWIqL3uUGj" width="202" height="188"></font></a></p> <div align="left"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Breakfast:</font></div> <div align="left"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font> </div> <div align="left"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_PBebh6R6L8/UWSmqvE32XI/AAAAAAAAJ6I/f_QnuLJPHT4/s1600-h/tofu%252520eggs%252520kale%252520sweet%252520potato%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="tofu eggs kale sweet potato" border="0" alt="tofu eggs kale sweet potato" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ATDj9hwbFVY/UWSmq_fVSUI/AAAAAAAAJ6Q/kWHG0N9sr90/tofu%252520eggs%252520kale%252520sweet%252520potato_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="434"></font></a></div> <div align="left"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font> </div> <div align="left"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Some days it has been a shake, but this week, tofu eggs have been more popular on my plate.

I must say, there is definitely a truth to the idea that when you decrease or eliminate something from your diet, your body adjusts. After the first few days of figuring out what a gluten free vegan eats, I really had no gluten/bread type cravings. All I have wanted is salads, shakes, soy yogurt, and fruit. This is the third week for me, and I feel some benefits including much clearer skin, no headaches, less bloating, and overall I would say a little more energy. I plan on continuing my experiment. I read it can take up to six weeks to get all the gluten out of your system. I am anxious to see how I feel then. Andy and Mya are not participating in my challenge, but, I did include their meals as well. So here are the WIAW meals for one day.</font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-4RTvR7RbJ8U/UVv9H9n0l4I/AAAAAAAAJ1g/82vpE-zA1SQ/s1600-h/wiaw%252520collage%25252059%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><strong><font color="#00e1e1"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="wiaw collage 59" border="0" alt="wiaw collage 59" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-lmB9WjJJv0A/UVv9IKs2BZI/AAAAAAAAJ1k/NboDVrjEtOg/wiaw%252520collage%25252059_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="528"></font></strong></a></font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font> </p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Breakfast: </font><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Gluten Free & Vegan</font><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"> Tofu Eggs </font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-WiVGicHVdRM/UVv9Iko6c-I/AAAAAAAAJ1w/FMrtxUtktng/s1600-h/P1100321%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100321" border="0" alt="P1100321" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-IomENhTCgiQ/UVv9Iwxgz4I/AAAAAAAAJ10/2Wixd1sMko8/P1100321_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="402"></a></font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">For my version of tofu eggs, I always poach the tofu in salted boiling water for five minutes.

I have switched up from elliptical twice a day to elliptical in the morning and stationary bike in the evening. I still get my weight and cross training in after morning cardio. I hope the change will make a noticeable difference in my legs. I thought they wouldn’t be sore the day after the switch considering how much I work my legs already, but, no, I was wrong, my hamstrings were super sore for two days! </p> <p>Around 8:30pm, if I’m still hungry and need some more protein, I make a shake with some cashews and almonds, water, ice, hemp protein, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a handful of berries. I try and keep it under 200 calories, high protein and high fiber.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/--Fpw3-xIpdI/UVv9UPtsixI/AAAAAAAAJ5g/LAbSsacMY6A/s1600-h/P1090119%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1090119" border="0" alt="P1090119" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_wR8YyctEZs/UVv9UQMBsDI/AAAAAAAAJ5k/CtYVPXHsFtU/P1090119_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="314" height="412"></a></p> <p>Other than a few cups of coffee with coconut creamer, this has been a typical gluten free vegan day for me.

I usually get a few a month, but none since gluten free. </font></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"> To be sure I am meeting all of my nutritional needs, I do use an app on my iphone to track everything that goes in my mouth. It often surprises me to know where I am lacking, or notice if I ate too much sugar. Those sneaky little numbers add up! I also use it to track my exercise. Cardio and weight training can factor in my bonus meals, or some evenings enjoy air popped pop corn. I am a scientific minded person who enjoys numbers and stats, so I find great pleasure in using these apps! What did we do before apps? I told Andy just yesterday, my ipad is solely responsible for my exercise. I read 1.5 hours a day on the elliptical or bike, and I use You Tube to watch workout videos, do yoga or HIIT programs. I plan on doing a post of my favorite videos and their links. </font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Kqcwq8NALJs/UVLTMxltMZI/AAAAAAAAJsY/sLTk-KJd8eQ/s1600-h/photo3.png"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="photo" border="0" alt="photo" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-QnVXA9XiHA0/UVLTNbPBZZI/AAAAAAAAJsg/WhicwjblkAo/photo_thumb1.png?imgmax=800" width="515" height="387"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">Onto the meals!

The gluten free version was made from a blend of lentils, mushrooms, tvp, walnuts, oats, garlics and herbs & spices. They formed nicely, I refrigerated and baked them off before adding them to my sauce.</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-yy2DenebpNE/UVLTjhiYraI/AAAAAAAAJwU/wnEe8HUXiqE/s1600-h/P1100236%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100236" border="0" alt="P1100236" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-KzaNUf1ZBc0/UVLTkI7LieI/AAAAAAAAJwc/3RrNWqbXJfA/P1100236_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="545" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-JcrvWHC0Kf8/UVLTlHyLw6I/AAAAAAAAJwk/eTnhE0NTlAU/s1600-h/P1100238%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100238" border="0" alt="P1100238" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-LGhWdGYF-xw/UVLTlTtEQiI/AAAAAAAAJws/OV8UePVYG5I/P1100238_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="545" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-GgySMXQ9oco/UVLTl-8iDEI/AAAAAAAAJw0/KKbxy4phRIE/s1600-h/P1100239%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100239" border="0" alt="P1100239" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-rWp3b7VAc5w/UVLTmaJ7xTI/AAAAAAAAJw8/ikRrjPaqifQ/P1100239_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-nBI_q4S4hGQ/UVLTnH2RqBI/AAAAAAAAJxE/ymYVko4umeI/s1600-h/P1100250%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100250" border="0" alt="P1100250" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Wd8Xt7rwg7U/UVLTnkkWQLI/AAAAAAAAJxM/h_4XceFI4Pc/P1100250_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-LNr-Wky3204/UVLTnzWaoxI/AAAAAAAAJxU/qTe0d3fjH4o/s1600-h/P1100252%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1100252" border="0" alt="P1100252" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-FqW3tBAHAbc/UVLToKLkLvI/AAAAAAAAJxc/C5CHKXJa_Kw/P1100252_thumb%25255B10%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="539" height="407"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">A few fell apart, but for the most part, they held up pretty well in the sauce.

We are trying a week or two gluten free to study the effects of not having it in our system. Many people have asked me about gluten issues in my sessions, so I was curious if being vegan, I could accommodate both without going raw. I have gone raw in the past, but I don’t feel for me that it is doable in cold weather. I enjoy it much more when the produce is growing in my yard. I do eat a lot of raw food, so this might be a good combination to try. The meals here are from yesterday, day two being gluten free. </font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">I woke up at 4:00am to coffee, that goodness that has no gluten!

No recipe, just cook pasta, heat sauce, pan fry eggplant with just some cooking spray, put together, shred a tiny bit of Dayia block cheese on top!</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-rVq2Bpsvdds/UTaHh-0h-dI/AAAAAAAAJZY/lhrsSpfFe08/s1600-h/P1090952%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1090952" border="0" alt="P1090952" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vLgeLXcLI6s/UTaHiJ7RQYI/AAAAAAAAJZg/kUsprv8Tx_4/P1090952_thumb%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="593" height="381"></font></a></p> <center><a href="http://www.peasandcrayons.com/" target="_blank"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"></font></a> </center> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-0ad8q-vk-TA/UTaHiQZBG1I/AAAAAAAAJZo/P_Q7yn6H3TQ/s1600-h/P1090954%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1090954" border="0" alt="P1090954" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-yYYjj3hvyJA/UTaHjDGEI0I/AAAAAAAAJZw/x_KI1tdqO7k/P1090954_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="542" height="412"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-OqsN-dUdP6I/UTaHjRFwTcI/AAAAAAAAJZ4/WswD6bFSAZY/s1600-h/P1090956%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1090956" border="0" alt="P1090956" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-R_VYpzJSgxc/UTaHj2DBZ-I/AAAAAAAAJaA/CRl-G1-Yn_s/P1090956_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="526" height="399"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Qy13WaNjg7I/UTaHkVb6dJI/AAAAAAAAJaI/6XwbGS9v8k0/s1600-h/P1090957%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1090957" border="0" alt="P1090957" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-xKzK-P6mxIo/UTaHkjjso8I/AAAAAAAAJaQ/Qzh01TnsQfs/P1090957_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="540" height="410"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-0z-f6Ix3zmA/UTaHlKwljyI/AAAAAAAAJaY/A1KBXSsfJbw/s1600-h/P1090958%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1090958" border="0" alt="P1090958" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-QSf6HbJFNIE/UTaHlliY5LI/AAAAAAAAJag/BFx73LZ4WyM/P1090958_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-fnldFSj5oVo/UTaHmE8eIcI/AAAAAAAAJao/6OIL-OlOVwc/s1600-h/P1090963%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1090963" border="0" alt="P1090963" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-J5tcRjHDmfg/UTaHmbqXMYI/AAAAAAAAJaw/-fzCpNTlIbY/P1090963_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="414"></font></a></p> <p><font color="#0295ae" size="4" face="Century Schoolbook">One helping was not enough, I had to have a few extra bites, then move away from the table.
