Amazing pancakes!

Googled egg free dairy free pancakes and found a recipe that I love... adapted it a bit of course but wow...yummy!!! and thanks for the lemon sugar suggestion to the blogger I stumbled onto...AMAZING!

I used Bob's Redmill baking mix for the flour, almond milk for the milk, and skipped the vanilla.

Never heard of squeezing lemon juice and sprinking sugar on a pancake...oh baby, it is refreshingly delish!

Two granddaughters were visiting when I decided to try this recipe and they love these pancakes too.

Bummy tummy

I have felt pretty good for a long time, so I was not happy that I felt so poorly recently after eating some things I maybe shouldn't have...but I am fine now.

I attended a party and filled my plate up twice...ok so I was HUNGRY but I also nibbled on chocolates that had fallen off the pretzels they were stuck to and Rice Krispie treats that were probably not made with gluten free cereal and two helpings of fruit salad that was delicious but oh so full of fructose...ok...my stomach cramped and I had to leave the party or risk suffering a fight for the port-o-potty...after a long time in the bathroom my churning tummy settled down...

Oh...I don't often forget to be careful...but now I will resume watching my intake like a watchdog outside a diamond mine.

HUGS and happy healthy choices...cha cha cha!

empty nest in the near future

Our youngest graduated from high school last weekend and soon hubby and I will have an empty nest. It is bittersweet for me as I have been raising kids for 34 years and it has always been my number 1 priority...I am thankful for the kids I was privileged to raise and delighted at the way they have turned out.

YEAH for BRAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Schar...best by far!

I bought some products by Schar today and I must say that my palate felt pampered. Delicious! The lady fingers are to die for...I was actually moaning after each bite. I used to love the Stella Doro breakfast treats and other goodies they made and have missed them, but no more...Schar...I LOVE YOU!

If you have not tried them, please do. You won't be sorry.

Back on the bike again...

I finally TOOK the time to take a long bike ride. I had only been on my bike once this year and rode about 4 miles. I rode nine miles yesterday and it was wonderful. The fresh air smells, two turtles by the side of the road, and the lovely colors of wild flowers and lush green grass. Heavenly.

Eating is under control. I slipped and ate icecream for a few days about a week ago and had stomach problems and a few facial breakouts so I stopped. Sometimes I have to remind myself why I have given up so many substances and then I get back into the groove of avoidance, substitution, and feeling oh so GOOD!

Happy whatever day it is you might be reading this. Life is GOOD!

One s-more...

I attended my nephew's wedding which was amazing BTW and when the sun set I had only ingested one no no as far as foods go. It was an outside wedding with a sit down dinner but at the end of the day we could make s-mores and I did with the thought that I would make it and give it away...well, I didn't I started eating it and didn't care. Guilt overcame me and I did care. The next day I had an itchy spot on my face, but otherwise I was okay. No more s-more.

Hubby bought me a hat to wear to the wedding...I don't like hats but I like this one. HUGS

PS update...35 mice...3 in the humane traps when we got home from the wedding. I guess they like us.
