Little bit of everything

HEY ALL !! Thanks for stopping by my blog =)

So last weekend after seeing a video on how to make french macaroons I was determined to make them!

Thats the thing with me ... once I get something in my head to make , I won't stop thinking about it till I do it . I don't know why , thats just how I'm wired haha

I knew going into making them that it was going to be tough. Anything I read or watch the person is saying how finicky they can be and that you can screw them up no matter how hard you try to not.

Anywho . Down below is what we cooked up for dinner and you get to see how my macaroons turned out. <3

Dinner was meat and gluten free ... it was yummers in my tummers . Arugula & quinoa salad

I did make the french macaroons first so that they could sit off to the side while I started dinner .

NOW ON TO DINNER:

we used a recipe out of our new cook book

Forks over Knives

its one of my favorite books .

We went and purchased this book after viewing the movie . I highly recommend renting the movie!

Mine had bell peppers in it and his had avocado in it . Im allergic to avocados and he's allergic to bell peppers O_o

Breakfast is served

Today was a day of mounds and mounds of laundry. Since Jacob was gone all week for work I had put off laundry till he had gotten back . Just so I can knock it all out at once . The only really annoying thing for me about doing laundry is that , we live in a very large apartment complex . ( where are on 2 sides of the street .)

In order to do our laundry you need to load a card with money , which can be annoying because the room with the card machine is the smaller laundry room . Which you have to hike like 10 miles to get to . Tiny bit of exaggeration of course but , a hike non the less . Ive had to make 6 trips to and from our apt to the laundry room. trying to save trips I load our laundry basket (thank goodness it has wheels!) up as much as I could. This is where I get my work out for my arms , we live on the second story.

Anywho . . . with all the walking going back on forth I was getting hungry having not eatin a thing yet this morning.

Luckily we had gone to Whole foods yesterday (previous post on what we had for breakfast) I remembered to pick up some eggs. I know this isn't completely gluten free, I figured since it was just me this morning I could throw in some toast too.

Last Thursdays night I had a nail buddy over for a girls night of nail painting and watching FRIENDS. I had some strawberries left over , they were just about to go bad so I had them with the eggs and toast .

TADAAAAA! breakfast is served

This was yum in my tumm!

Lastly I had my daily dose of green juice =)

Thanks for stopping by!!

Gluten Free breakfast ??

Thats right !

So for those who do not follow me on my other social networking sites.... My husband and I have gone gluten free on as much as we can .

I do not have to go gluten free , but in wanting to support my husband with this new diet I wanted to join him . It can be hard to do since its everywhere you turn theres gluten in almost everything .

So this morning (sunday 2/10/13) we went to Whole Foods to do some shopping .

I already own a gluten free cook book that I got from
Barns & Noble, but it didnt have any breakfast related recipes . So all of last week I had eyed a gluten free cook book at Whole Foods.

We decided to finally pick it up since it had a section for breakfast .

The book was about $20 at Whole Foods

The Bob's Red Mill line, We were told by someone jacob knows who also is a gluten free eater that its great stuff .

While we were at the store talking to an employee , a woman next to me said she had been gluten free for about the last 20 years. So she also was giving her recommendations to us.
