Hold your breath!

I have a confession.

I am wildly disorganized.  To a point of embarrassment...  example: on more than one occasion have I forgotten to pay bills, not because I didn't have the money, but because I lost the bill, or forgot, or.. whatever, they are all excuses to mask the fact I can't keep my ducks in a row!

I have stacks of mail in my house, which can lend itself to a sprinkling of paper objects throughout the house, cast as such by my adorable 5 year old Rhys, and my awful kitten, Hades ( named appropriately).

Now add this disorganization to a full time job, full time graduate school, being a full time mommy, and you have my life. Overwhelmed yet?  Don't be! Because I'm not. Well, at  least not most of the time.

That being said, being gluten free, and choosing to eat organic comes with the painstaking responsibility of planning ahead, and I don't mean plan ahead in the "one meal ahead" sense, I mean the whole week. It is quite frightful.

Thankfully my fiance has dedicated his sweetness to me and helps me sort out my life, and aids in  this preparation and the keeping of my fragile sanity.

In the blogs to come, I will share the "plan ahead" way in which I prepare my meals, and will also post some delicious, fast, and easy recipes  to help one be successful in alternative eating circumstances.

After Dinner Snack

Get Relief Tea-Delicious Rooibos tea, settles the stomach and assists in digestion! This puts my digestive enzymes to shame, and tastes wonderful. It is good for bloating, gas ( gross, right) and the like, and really helps put me in high after dinner spirits. purchased at Clarks in Loma Linda

The Grove Raw Organic Orange & Blossom Honey- delightful and LOCAL. This is GREAT for allergies and asthma.  Not recommended for small children or those with highly compromised immune systems.  purchased at Goodwins Organics in Riverside

 Gluten Free Chocolate Wafer Cookie- Made by me!  Recipe from  the Gluten Free on a Shoe String book starring Better Batter flour and organic ingredients from Goodwins Organics.  This recipe can easily be made vegan!

Yum!
