TMI

First off, internets, ...so I'm trying to do this non-dairy, no-wheat thing..in a loose sort of way (because that's just how I roll..) Pretty much no dairy, and trying to cut out the wheat.

So, I bought some gluten-free bread, to replace the toast I usually have for breakfast.
And
it was kind of yucky.

It was Ener G Seattle brown loaf. My beloved cinnamon pear jelly made it barely tolerable.
Barely
**So, can anyone suggest better gluten free plus dairy free bread?

I'm betting on the wonders of the internet now...come on, don't fail me!

So, toast is out, but oatmeal is in- with strawberries and rice milk. Yeah!

Next, kind of related...

I'm on day 6 or so of the 30 Day Shred. I say 'or so' because I've missed a night here and there.

On about day 3, I noticed a flapping sound as I was jumping around, doing jumping-jacks.
I was relieved to be by myself in my room, no witnesses. 'cept Emma, but she is discreet.
So, I hear this flapping and decide it must be my tummy, which has got a roll on it,
hence The Shred. I hold on to it to stop the un-genteel flapping.

flapping continues.

I realize it must be my behind flapping. Horrors! I grab on- and flapping stops.

I thought motherhood robbed me of dignity, but aging trumped motherhood.

So, now my goal is not to be "shredded", but to humbly prevent butt jiggle when I run.

This, I did not ever predict.

TMI, maybe?

Thanks for being so bravely honest! :-)

Since you're trying gluten/dairy free you might not be ready to dive into baking your own breads but if you get to that point...I have developed gluten free sourdough recipes around my own food allergies.

I have combined old fashioned sourdough techniques with gluten free seed and grain flours and have come up with excellent, delicious breads, muffins and pancakes.

They are also free of dairy, eggs, soy, yeast, sweeteners, gums and baking powder. Very suitable for sensitive digestions.

I have posted a free download of the starter recipe plus pancake recipe:
http://www.sanctuary-healing.com/food-recipes.html

This type of baking takes some time to understand and master so it will not be for everyone. With planning it doesn't have to be time consuming. For people able to take the time it's well worth it as the breads are tasty, easy to digest and have an extremely long shelf life!

My complete, and continually growing recipe book, Art of Gluten Free Sourdough Baking, is available in pdf and print form on my website, www.food-medicine.com
Good Luck and Eat Well!

At 6:55 PM, Anonymous said...: I just found your blog when I searched for classical conversations! I am so excited that I found it! We are embarking on our first Classical year for the upcoming school year and I am trying to learn all I can before this fall. Love your blog!
At 11:39 PM, eureka! said...: Udi's gluten free bread is pretty good (better toasted, but still good un-toasted). It's a little spendy, but I think it's worth it compared to some other gluten free bread out there!

When I work out I wear a tight one piece swim suit to keep my flab in place. It totally works, my boobs and butt stay nice and tight in place. I love it. But I would never let someone catch me doing it... a little embarrassing.
At 1:59 PM, Hen Jen said...: Theresa,

thank you for the recommend, I went to TJ's yesterday and picked up the bread. haven't tried it yet, but I will report back.

Sharon,

thank you very much for the links, I will check them out. I am not sure if I am ready to make my own bread, I am sure it would be worth the effort, but I am just soo busy with the kids.
At 4:02 PM, Hen Jen said...: you guys are killing me...! funny how we can all bond over our 'flapping' issues! eek!

Eureka,

i will look for udi's thanks for the recommend! Your bathing suit strategy made me laugh...but you may be onto something there, kind of like spanxs, but less money... I think i've found a new reason to never join a fitness club again, from now on, if it involves jumping, I'll do it at home, alone.
At 4:03 PM, Hen Jen said...: Allison,

so glad you found me and glad you commented. I think you will really enjoy CC, it's a neat group.
