Last nights dinner was boring, bacon and eggs with cheese and mushrooms.

No breakfast today, lunch was egg scrambled w/ mushroom, bell pepper and tomato. Topped w/ cheese, green onions and avo. Halfway through, I'm stuffed!! My hens are eating way too well lately.

Going on a walk! Then off to get bunny food for my adult doe and a coffee. Shhh, brianna *really* needs to cut the coffee!!

Coconut flour pancakes: yum!! Far less grainy then traditional gluten-free pancakes, sweet and didn't taste like coconut! I made them with blueberries and local sage honey.

Almond chocolate chip cookies: made these with brazil nut flour, however it was more of a meal. I will contact the company about this. It turned to mush, didn't keep its texture Will post recipe...

Thanks Abi!!!! That sounds fantastic!!!

I just steamed them and smothered them in ghee and seasalt.


Oh, btw for anyone new reading this when I list pork, ham or bacon, it is from the happy piggy we raised in a pasture. And (should this be a given around here?) the eggs come from our own flock of yard birds. They have a full acre on which to free range.

I also found a pretty good tasting beer called "Redbridge" that is gluten free. It is made from sorghum. It isn't as strong as beer, but if you add a splash of vodka you'll get your kick.

I love Redbridge. I finally can have beer again even though they dont carry it very many places (only 1 in my 30ish mile radius) lol
