Breakup Letter to Cake

Dear Cake,

You seduced me and made me subject to your whims. I would leave the house in the middle of the night just for you. I would bake at midnight and eat in secret to hide my shame.

I loved your sickly sweet smell of sugar and shortening. You made my mouth water in anticipation of the impending treat, now my mouth waters because your aroma nauseates me.

I gave you undying devotion, you gave me diabetes and a fat ass.

I feel like we've grown apart.

I'm breaking up with you.

Goodbye

FOOD JOURNAL Eating well does not have to be expensive! I'm spending less than $30 (USD) a week on food and staying quite satisfied! I would also like to point out that I am not eating Paleo to part of the "In Crowd". The very thought makes my skin crawl. I have food allergies... LOTS of them, and Paleo suits my needs splendidly! Weight all time high 284 (the last time I weighed) in 2009. Fluctuated between 265 and 275 from 2010 until 2017. Tried from mid 2017 until February 2018 to break the 250 barrier. 29 March 2018, I broke the 240 barrier. Since cutting gluten in March 2018 and going Paleo in April 2018, the weight has been falling off steadily. Broke 230 on 17 May 2018! I'm officially in (and sometimes out) of the 220's! ( I still gross myself out if I pass by a full length mirror when I'm nekked or in underwears) Hit 220 on 25 June 2018! My belt is on the last hole! You may deduce from my weekly menus that I cook on Saturday or Sun...

And Thus Begins My Journey into the World of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity!

Extremely long story short, I made an appointment for a massage. I've been making some pretty big lifestyle changes and kind of want to have a lymphatic drainage massage and some trigger point to try and restore my range of motion. I got in touch with Brandi at Affordable Spa Services , and after a pretty comprehensive Q&A, she asked me if I have ever been tested for gluten sensitivity. It seems that my laundry lists of aches, pains, and ailments are pretty much text book symptoms of gluten sensitivity. She also told me that she would throw in a nutritional analysis along with my massage and told me to keep a food diary for two weeks. I have been keeping the diary and notating how I feel, and I have discovered that I have joint and muscle aches, I feel foggy, my balance gets all weird and I feel like I'm going to fall, and I get the dreaded constipation. I also discovered that after a few days of eating "clean", I don't hurt and I feel better in ...

Crabbity Crabbity Puff Puffs

So, I bought some Boom Boom Shrimp from BJs this weekend. They were shrimp that had been dipped in egg white and cornstarch. They were freaking fantastic and it got me to thinking about the other "breaded" items that would be fun to try the egg white batter on... Which led to a web search and THIS recipe!!! Seasonal and Savory - Crab Puffs by a nice lady named Angela This is her recipe and I shall call them Crabbity Crabbity Puff Puffs because its such a darned fun name! The text is straight from her blog and I'm so glad I found it! Please visit her for more delicious recipes! I wanted to call these “crabbity crabbity puff puffs,” but that is largely due to the amount of cold medicine currently in my system. So you might want to just ignore all of the text in this post and head straight to the recipe. It’s a good one. No grains or fillers, just crabbity-crabbity goodness going on. These are puffed up with beaten eggs whites, and they make a g...
