Now We’re Talkin!

  • Taco Bell Order

    Veggie Bowl I added 1/2 cup of chopped turkey at home. You can get the chicken bowl there, but it’s loaded with sodium. 460 calories and a whopping 34g of protein!! Continue reading

  • 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    What a difference. So thankful!!! Continue reading

  • Greens, greens, greens!

    Smoothies and Avocado wraps! That smoothie was amazing! Continue reading

  • Happy Thanksgiving

    We had such a low key Thanksgiving. It was just what we needed. Gary and I cooked a good meal and did a little decorating. The kids watched the Macy’s Parade and Peanuts Thanksgiving on Apple+. Gage has a bad… Continue reading

  • The last of the pumpkins!

    We thawed this old girl out from the freezer today. I sure wish I could eat it! Hopefully I can have a slice in a few weeks 🙂 Continue reading

  • Hello Monday

    I think I just finished my Christmas shopping. Yay!! Gary’s having to do some kind of testing today, so that gave he some quiet time to knock it out. My kids were pretty straight forward with their lists this year.… Continue reading

  • The Good Stuff

    Just so many benefits. I’m trying really hard to love my body and gut right now. This is the stuff. A quick protein boost too. In addition to diet, I have also started supplementing. I haven’t ever gotten into supplements… Continue reading

  • High Protein Anti-Inflammatory

    Eating in a caloric deficit is a goal, but I can’t say that it’s helping with my energy levels. Eating out is going to be really difficult. I may have to take food with me when we’re out and about.… Continue reading

  • Saturday

    Flushing is down this morning. Yesterday I had red flushing on my neck and under my chin pretty badly. I’ve started the Elimination Phase of the AIP per my doctor. (Autoimmune Protocol) It is incredibly strict. Grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, nightshade… Continue reading

  • Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why? Well, I live 10 miles from Pensacola Beach, so I will say beach, but I do love both. 🤍 I could adjust to either. I have very much acclimated to Florida climate… Continue reading

  • What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals? My kids would say: 1.)Breakfast for Dinner- Biscuits, Bacon, Sausage, Grits and Eggs 2.)Ribeyes, Asparagus, Corn and Potatoes on the Grill 3.)Homemade Burgers, Hot Dogs and Fries (Coleslaw and Potato Salad for… Continue reading

  • 🤍 Truth

    You can’t blame the wind for a mess that it makes if you knowingly opened the window. Continue reading

  • Stuffed Cubanelle!

    Cubanelle peppers are one of my favorites. I usually like to cut the top off and stuff them so I can egg wash them and fry them, but here’s my healthier take. Split them horizontally, remove seeds and fill with… Continue reading

  • Strange

    I walked into my garage today and I noticed a box sitting out there. It was this Prismacolor set. I have no idea where it came from. I have tons of prismacolors, so I didn’t buy it. I have no… Continue reading

  • 🤍🤍🤍

    My biggest responsibility and most important job. Gage woke up so grumpy today. 😄 He reminds me a lot of my brother sometimes. He’s sweeter than Jay was at that age, but he’s got a little bit of a pessimistic… Continue reading

  • Low Histamine Meals

    A few meals I’ve had over the last 2 weeks. I know everyone’s tolerance is different and I’m finding out what mine are, but there are ways to do it and you can eat really well! I already feel better… Continue reading

  • Making Changes

    Switching a few things to lower my histamine and just make better choices. I’m officially down 14 lbs since last Saturday which is wild. I’m all about losing weight so I’m glad for that, but I’m thinking inflammation and water… Continue reading

  • Yummm

    So far I’m not minding this low histamine stuff. I love oatmeal with maple syrup and blueberries. I took a nap early and Gary had made me grilled lemon pepper chicken thighs too. I married the perfect man. 🤍 Continue reading

  • What book are you reading right now? My Bible and Philosophical Thoughts by C.S. Lewis. I truly believe that any negative thinking or battlefields in our minds can be conquered by 4 things: 1. The Bible 2. Prayer 3. A… Continue reading

  • Whew!

    This past week has been heavy. A very tragic death in the family from a very public figure. My poor cousin Ashleigh has been through so much in her young life. She lost her first husband in a tragic accident… Continue reading
