We've made this several times and it's so good! Even my kids all love it. In the interest of full disclosure though, my husband won't even try it. He's not a fan of zucchini and a fairly picky eater. He's coming along but I doubt this will ever win him over. ;)

You might want to make your diary public since it helps people know what to suggest for you. I am gluten free, grain free and regular potato free right now. Gluten and potatoes hate me so those will just be avoided forever. Grain I cut out to see if I can figure out some other health issues and after awhile I'll try grains…

It's supposed to be in the 90's here this week and since I'm in the Seattle area, that's really hot for us! I want Fall weather but I've been knitting anyway. I just finished a baby alpaca hat for my husband and a slouchy hat for myself. I guess I should get back to the Christmas knitting if I'm going to avoid doing it all…

I haven't tried it yet but yesterday I saw a pin on Pinterest for toasted marshmallows dipped in Baileys. Oh my goodness did those look good! Not sure how many of them I could get away with before it would be bad to have flaming marshmallows around but in the name of science I am willing to research the subject!

I started allowing mine to baby sit at about age 12, depending on the kid. My 13 year old son just took a Safe Sitter course at the fire department so he's clear to babysit the youngest (age 9). The Safe Sitter program is for kids age 12-16 if I remember correctly and is a great program. They learn first aid, CPR, behavior…

Car accident and once when a neighbor guy was beating up his girlfriend.

Granite Falls! I'm sure you all know where that is, right? ;)

My son used to get migraines until we cut gluten out of his diet. You might consider whether it's a food or environmental allergy. Allergy symptoms or food intolerances can vary from person to person. He feels so much better now that he's happy to be gluten free just to avoid the headaches and he's only 13 so you know he…

My workout area is in the garage too and it does get very, very cold at times. I think the worst was about 9 degrees. I always warm up and I wear gloves and a hat. I finish up with stretching inside because it's just too darn cold to do any floor stretching out there. As long as I warm up sufficiently I don't seem to have…

It does sound like an allergic reaction. You should probably stop eating it because that's not likely to go away. You could try a different brand and see if that helps. Have you ever had a reaction to fin fish before? If you do insist on eating it you should have some liquid Benadryl on hand in case the swelling gets…

Here's a link to a gluten free group and there are plenty of us who share your pain. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/129-gluten-free To start with you might try just opting for things that are naturally gluten free like fruit, vegetables, meat, seeds or nuts (be careful to read the packages on these as many are…

I have been gluten free for over a year and went grain free recently because I am trying to pin down what other intolerances I might have. I do find paleo recipes to be very helpful but that doesn't mean I have gone completely paleo. I still eat a little dairy, not a lot because it doesn't agree with me a whole lot either.…

I've had mine for about six years and it gets HEAVY use! I love it and will never go back to a regular blender again. We make smoothies, nut butters, sorbet, blended drinks, pancake and waffle batter from whole grain (literally, the grain) and a bunch of other stuff. My motor has never even blinked at me. I had a minor…

Outside of doing more push ups and pull ups I would say go swim laps. My 13 year old son couldn't do a regular pull up but then was swimming a half an hour a day for several weeks. Now the little punk can not only do pull ups but he can do corn cob pull ups and do several in a row! His arm, back, chest and shoulder…

I would love to be friended since I am just coming to the conclusion that this is the way I need to go. I haven't been super low but I have been very inconsistent for quite some time. I would go lower (between 1400-1600) then get hungry, grumpy, tired and flake out. I LOVE lifting weights and have done dumbbell work but…

Eggs are good of course but you can make gluten free pancakes, waffles, quiches and such. If you're just wanting to be as simple as possible while you get used to things then eggs, fruit, gluten free yogurt, gluten free breakfast meats and gluten free granola (though she may want to avoid oats for awhile in the beginning…

I had a grain free waffle and a poached egg along with my coffee with half and half.

I knit and crochet both and it does help. You can't eat while you're working and who wants to get food on fabulous yarn?! :) There is actually a group on here for other knitters and crocheters. A bunch of us are on Ravelry too. I'm currently working on felted bags for Christmas gifts.…

I like 2.

Oddly enough, I get worse heartburn when I eat to many carbs later in the day. Maybe look at you diary and see if your see a trend over the last few days that wasn't there before? Sorry I'm not much help. :)

I'm gluten free too and recently went grain free trying to figure out what else I can't tolerate. I'm thinking it's corn but I just gave up and went grain free to try to heal. Cross contamination is a pain but hard to avoid at times. You can friend me and I'm in the GF group.

I don't need a colonic, I can just eat one of the foods that hate me and it'll have the same effect. I don't really enjoy it though and have found that if I don't eat the things that hate me I'm magically not bloated anyway. Joking aside, I just don't think it's necessary to put your body through something like that on a…

My blood pressure went from 150's/90's to around 110/70's with no medication. The rest is icing on the cake. :)

I have this DVD and it works wonders on me: http://www.amazon.com/Viniyoga-Therapy-Back-Sacrum-Kraftsow/dp/B000U0C9UE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377026575&sr=8-1&keywords=low+back+yoga It stretches and strengthens. I always feel better after doing it and when I'm doing it regularly my back feels so much better! You'd think…

I started to read it but couldn't finish it. I've been gluten free for over a year because I am intolerant and have reactions to it. However, in that year I did not lose any weight just by going gluten free, which means I was wheat free by default. In fact, I gained weight while I was experimenting with creating all these…

It drives me crazy when all the measurements are in cups, tablespoons, etc. I weigh things by gram or ounce because it's much more accurate. I use a kitchen scale for baking because scooping up a cup of flour will give you a different measurement each time but weighing it gives you consistency. I'm not obsessing over every…

We have a local guy who sells raw honey at the farmer's market. I use raw honey to wash my face and with his unfiltered raw honey I don't need an exfoliator because there are little bits of pollen and stuff in it.

Can you find a pool and go swimming? You won't have any weight on your foot and will just need to be careful getting in and out of the pool (assuming you're not in a cast.) Give yourself a few days to recover but check with your doc about what you can do. At the very least you should be able to do some upper body stuff.

I don't have that particular one but I have several others and I've done a bunch of free ones off you tube. I also love them! Your soreness should only last a few days and then your body figure it out. The scale may or may not go up but if it does, just ignore it. Your weight fluctuates anyway so don't let it dictate your…

I skimmed through two pages and got bored so I don't know if sliced strawberries and real whipping cream was mentioned. That's my favorite way to eat french toast since I don't like syrup. I'm gluten free and have played around with different gluten or grain free recipes. We recently tried one made with almond flour and it…
