Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved? Oh yes! When my husband came home today and offered to clean all the ceiling fans and finally remove our popcorn ceilings this weekend. Baby, that is L♥️VE!! 🤣🤣🤣

Protein Bars 🤍
I love my protein bars but I just discovered the PERFECT BAR and it really is the perfect protein bar. The come on ice and they’re SO yummy!! They’re 330 calories and 17g of protein per bar. It’s a lot higher in calories than a lot of my other bars, so I’ll probably have them…

Throwing Clay
Making cute heart Bowls. I think I’m going to paint them with pink and red glaze. 2 red and 2 pink. 😍 They’re going to be pretty big, about 9 inches in width. It’s also like 30 degrees in my garage. 😬

Gage and Norah Harper were eating frozen yogurt and it looked soooo good, so I went with what I had here on hand and now I have a new favorite treat! Yum!!!

Culver’s Order
My family loves Culver’s (who doesn’t love great burgers and cheese curds?) but I get bored with getting a grilled chicken sandwich or eating a gluten bun burger. *Quick FYI for new followers- I have recently started a journey of finding out what my food triggers/allergies are. It’s possible that I have an autoimmune issue,…

My Hippeas are here! I love these so much. They were my go to chips for years! I’d get 3 big bags at the Costco in Tampa, but we don’t have a Costco close to us here. I hope we get one again. They only have 3g of protein but I like to have a…

Yes!
Love him or hate him, he gets things done. He’s making his progress and isn’t even in office yet. Also, Red no.3 Dye was banned from our foods today!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

What is your favorite animal? Dogs! Always. Second would be horses. My Dad rode rodeos and broke horses for years. He quit when my Mom got pregnant, but he still loved it. He was truly a cowboy. I have a picture of him at the Dixie National rodeo where a bronco had ripped his shirt…

Gross.
Gross. This is the 3rd time I’ve had to return protein bars I ordered on Amazon. It makes me think their warehouses are too hot or something because they were all different brands. Yuck!

Back to our Roots
I was talking to a friend of mine last night and she’s been getting into sourdough recently and they’ve been canning lots of vegetables and meal prepping. I never saw her doing this, because she has such a busy lifestyle, but she’s loving it and has found it therapeutic like I do. They used to…

Madi-Cadi Checkered Towels
I go through so many kitchen towels with sourdough, but I love the way a soft bath towel feels when I’m wiping my hands off etc, so I grabbed these off Amazon. They’re so cute I think I might get a set for the kids bathroom. You can find them here!

I have managed to bake birthday cake, sweets and bread this week and not go a single calorie over my limit. I only indulged in a slice of Gary’s delicious chocolate birthday cake, but I made it my dinner! It was so worth it. 🤣 🤍🤍🤍

We’re watching Mel Gibson on Joe Rogan and something he said really resonated with me:

Bleh
Literally all I can do is stare at the news today. Gary and I have been sitting here on the couch since 9 am. It’s just so sad. My brother lived in LA for a few years so I’ve been there a few times in my 20’s, but I think it’s hard for people to…

Winner Family Dinner
This stuff is SO good! I like it much better than the Goodles one. SO much protein. I used 3 boxes and 1 lb of 93/7 lean Grassfed beef. There are 2 servings in each box and we wanted a little leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I’ve been using legume pasta in our spaghetti for years…

We sliced it and there’s lots of teal inside. It’s so pretty.

Whew!
I’m tired. I gave a sourdough lesson tonight. It was fun but I’m tired! Check out this crazy gluten structure I got with this batch. Gorgeous! It seems to be shaping that people struggle with the most , and it’s the hardest thing to explain. It’s just a feel. Here’s a really good video though!…

Publix Strawberry Salad
I love all of their salads but this and their Greek Salad are the best! Yum!🤤 Don’t pass it up. To recreate it at home. It’s strawberries, glazed praline pecans, gorgonzola, and a strawberry vinaigrette.

Happy Birthday to my sweet Husband 🤍
Love of my life. 🤍

Like new..
Gary sanded and refinished our dining room table top yesterday, and it looks so good! I love the black for a nice change. I don’t have my leaf in the middle, so he had to get it from the garage and paint it too. I’m glad we remembered! 🤣 We only put it in at…

Happy Husband
I made this Jalapeño and Cheddar boule for him tonight. I’m considering using up most of my caloric balance for a slice of this beauty.

Snack Hack!
I’ve finally found a few kind of chips that I can eat, but it’s always a very small amount, so my “dip” for those and my veggies is low fat cottage cheese with ranch seasoning. It’s so good and it helps you get full and stay full. Just blend 16 oz of cottage cheese with…

Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you? Absolutely, and I have the most wonderful playmates! We’re a very silly family. There’s a lot of dancing (too much), rapping badly, singing, wrestling, and serious pranking that goes on in the Alcina home. It’s a side of me that I am a…

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? Definitely the future. If I thought about the past too much, I wouldn’t be able to survive. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve buried my best friend, parents, and my only sibling.. I absolutely have days that I get lost in the past…

These are so comfy.
I just had to share! I wore these with a white cardigan and white shirt with my white converse and they are so comfy! I felt cute in them but they were honestly so much more comfortable than jeans! Amazon has them here! I purchased the mink but now I want the charcoal. They’re the…

HeartBeet Sourdough Recipe
Here’s the recipe! Here’s where the recipe changed in terms of traditional sourdough… 450 for 40 minutes covered! So the top doesn’t turn brown. And 6 minutes uncovered. Enjoy! We had some for breakfast with our smoothies this morning! The kids had some too 🙂 🤍🤍🤍
-
It’s Lovely!
The beet root made the prettiest color! I’ll post pics of the inside when it cools. 🤍 Here’s a picture of the inside. It has the appearance of cake! But it’s soooo soft and squishy and delicious! It’s different than anything I’ve ever baked.

New Hair
It’s a little wild right now, as it’s been in a ponytail all day, but I love the color.
