ENDOMETRIOSIS BLOG TAB: CLICK HERE
(view tab for updated endometriosis related information & posts)

As many of you know... I have Endometriosis. However, many of you don't know what that is and what that entails. I am opening up about my journey not because this is easy or comfortable, but because it's important. This is important for every single person- because you likely know someone with this disease and in many ways which you can't begin to fathom- it effects you and your country.

Chocolate Fudge (Paleo, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free, Gluten Free)

3/17/2018

0 Comments

 
So I have an embarrassing story about this fudge... This fudge had me the moment I checked out the recipe. It was in compliance with my many diet restrictions and seemed totally easy to make (check and check). So I whipped up a batch, added in some walnuts for good measures, and presented it to M at the end of our long day. We nestled in with our favorite series (The Office), in which we watch annually starting back a season one, and no we are not ashamed and no it never gets old. Anyone else obsessed with Michael Scott??

Ok so that's not even the embarrassing part...

I was so engrossed in The Office I didn't even realize how much fudge I was eating. Turns out I ate 4 huge hunks of it (which I know may not sound like a lot but I'm a little person and this was after I already ate dinner, plus fudge is super rich). So it hits me: like an immediate surge of pain in which I realize I've been mindlessly eating fudge for the past 20 minutes. And I'm in sheer agony. I'm in so much discomfort that I was actually up all night tossing and turning over my stomach pains in which I vowed 'I'm never eating that deathly fudge again!'. But now it's been a few weeks, and I can reflect upon this from a very rational frame of mind and realize- the fudge was not the problem- it was me, I was the problem! So yes, make this fudge because it's so delicious. But please, please- only have one hunk, or maybe two....

Food Prep Recipe: Minced Garlic in Olive Oil

3/10/2018

0 Comments

 
I absolutely love garlic but I can't stand having to peel and mince it myself. Can anyone else relate to that? Something about having your fingers smell of garlic no matter how many times you wash them is just not something I look forward to. But it's so much more than that... it's just such a chore for some reason! Recently I started prepping large batches of minced garlic, packing it in refined olive oil, to store away (in the freezer) for future use. I can't begin to tell you how convenient it is. And yes, I know you can buy it in the store like that already but that doesn't quite taste like fresh garlic to me, it has this 'canned' taste that I can't get past. This on the other hand is just as good as freshly minced garlic without all the work!
