Guys, I am slowly going to phase back into a “normal” diet. I feel like I have done all I can do to attempt to reset my gut and my plan going forward is to be MUCH more cognizant of the amount of fodmaps I eat in a day so I’m not slamming my body with things that will ferment all day long. Like maybe one meal a day I can “cheat” a bit but otherwise I should try to stick to the guidelines. At least for now…
That said, my breakkie was by the books.
I forgot I bought these back when I first started this diet!! They’re from my parents’ WF (the same one I got the spirulina ones from). And since the green ones were soooo good I knew I had to give this one a try. It was a little stale, probably because it was almost a month old, but still really tasty. The crunch was still awesome, so next time I’ll get more…and then eat them sooner after I buy them for the ideal crispy bite.
Hand shown for size reference. Here’s the company’s stuff on amazon although it looks like these are different than what they had at WF so I don’t know.
I topped it with cashew butter but then I realized after a few bites I needed more nut butter so I added almond on top too. I didn’t want to overdo it with either nut, hence using a moderate amount of both rather than a bunch of one.
Check out all that seedy goodness! If I could do this in my dehydrator I would but I can’t seem to get things as crispy. Maybe it just takes longer than I think? Either way the dehydrator is a no go in the summer because it heats up the whole house running for a day straight. These weren’t too pricey. I think they were $4.99 for a two pack.
I went back to my roots with this lunch salad.
Which I paired with my leftover prime rib. I only had a few bites left so it was a perfect sized lunch.
For dinner I made mummy dogs from the Halloween chapter in Danielle Walker’s Celebrations cookbook.
I subbed tapioca for the arrowroot and it worked like a charm!
Yum! I didn’t chill the dough for 24 hours like it said to but it was still fine. A little soft if I didn’t work fast enough, but it doesn’t have to look amazing to taste amazing. AND IT WAS AMAZING. I ate three of them!
Yep. Three. And zucchini “fries”.
I made “french fries” for the rest of the fam, and made extra for later.
Kyle’s first plate.
I basically bought the book for this recipe so I’m pretty pleased by how delicious (and easy) it was! I will be remaking this a lot!
I had half a kombucha later.
I have so much to share with you and will do it via email. I have so many things that have been absolutely life changing. To be honest had not had a flare up in two months and then I did last weekend starting Friday and when I get one it last several days and I get so annoyed with myself. At first I couldn’t figure it out and then I had an aha moment and realized wtf I did. I have learned the hard way without food maps we become nutrient deficient and with them we become bloated b!£ches so I have learned the proper way to balance them out and to avoid PLUGS! Don’t want to be pushy so tell me when to start a dialogue. If we lived close, I would take you to lunch( lowfod map of course(lol), but I would insist your children come and I would be playing with them the whole time anyway. I baby sat last night for my friends two children and my husband and I had a blast. We will be traveling to cali(all over in sept/oct), maybe you will let us take all four of you to dinner. It would be cool to chill and meet. Up to you–only a suggestion.
You are the cutest. I’m emailing you today, promise!
