Once upon a time I was the world's biggest cereal addict. Then my roommate gave me her recipe for granola, and I haven't bought cereal at a grocery store for over a year now. :) Here's my recipe, it's super easy- 5 c. oats 2 c. nuts (I use almonds) 1/4 c. flaxseed 1/4 c. chia seeds 2 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. nutmeg 1/3 c.…

I eat about 90% gluten and dairy free. Here are some of my favorites- Natural peanut butter and honey on rice cakes (better than it sounds) Fresh fruit! Warm salted edamame Soy Energy Mix, a nut and dried fruit mix from Costco A green smoothie (A cup of rice (or whatever) milk, frozen fruit, a banana, kale or spinach)…

I eat Paleo about 75% of the time... does that count? I eat almost completely gluten and dairy free (except plain yogurt with live and actives cultures), but I do eat quinoa and oats.

I also admit that I often motivate myself to work out with the idea of "earning" extra calories to eat. :) When I lose the motivation to eat right, I reflect on how I looked and felt when I wasn't eating as…

He's also convinced that my motivation to eat healthy is driven by a need to lose weight, and he doesn't think I need to lose any more weight, so sometimes he even encourages me to splurge and eat crap with…

I've been without bread for a year now, and I've found that other carbs like quinoa, brown rice, oats, sweet potatoes (like homemade sweet potato fries), rice cakes, and popped chips make me miss it a lot less. Also, if you're craving bread, you can also think of it as just craving carbs, and fruit is loaded with natural…

I'm gluten and dairy free as well! They're minor intolerances, but I avoid them as much as I can just to be on the safe side. Lovely to meet you!
