Bye For Now

I'm sitting here, drinking a glass of Spiced Hazelnut Milk while waiting for my (or Sheila's, as it is) Tea Biscuits to come out of the oven.

Sugar Doll

Seeing as it is that Averie has bestowed the Sugar Doll Award upon all of us - callling for ten random facts - I am taking that opportunity to blog a little without recipes.

Simple Yoghurt

Yoghurt is really good tummy-food, and if you love it, well, like me, you'll miss it when going dairy free because there's really nothing else like it - unless you can handle soy yoghurt, I guess. I found a simple way of making something delicious that I'll call yoghurt from now on. But I would like to just air a couple of thoughts first.

Getting Over Gluten

I'm recycling a couple of old pics that I found. Like I said here, I got glutened the other day and I just want to mention the little bit that I have so far found out about "getting glutened". I have no first hand knowledge of how celiacs react to gluten in general, since the only celiac I know is *me* - and I have no medical knowledge, I'm just the regular avid googler.

One foot... and then the other.

Ooooh, I went for a run today. In all fairness, a "run" is a bit of a euphemism there, I jogged at a leasurely pace for fifteen minutes...but considering that for the last year or thereabouts I have done only yoga and no cardio what so ever, just tying my running shoes was a bit of a leap for me. Don't get me wrong I see absolutely no problem in doing "just" yoga: even though I am a novice I have progressed far enough to know that practicing yoga can be constantly challenging and physically hard - and that's why I love it. I am not about to give up on ever folding myself into a gracefully balancing crane.

More balls for me, please.

Speaking of smart, strong women like Meghan and Averie: I have another of my favorite ball recipes from this Danish site belonging to Thorbjørg Haffsteinsdottir. If you read Danish, try the "sweet and sugarfree carob balls" - or donut holes, whatever you choose to call them - from the "snacks" section, or if you're not raw, try the glutenfree pizza crust, which is positively the best gluten free pizza solution I've encountered. Thorbjørg has a website too - where there's an "English" option but it doesn't have as much info as the Danish version - and a blog with health and nutrition news in Danish. I mean to try her recipe for "Delicious Liquorice-Chai Tea" next :-)

Meghan!

In my last post I linked to Meghan Telpners blog and homepage, and it seems now I have a chance to do it again and win one of Mehan's great e-tutorials! I already purchased a bundle of her e-tutorials, namely the green smoothie cleanse, the adrenaline lunch tutorial and the 5 days low glycemic eating, all available in Meghan's shop. During 5-day tutorials or challenges Meghan talks participants through health benefits, pitfalls and effects of your tutorial on her blog, which you can of course read anyway, but you get more fun and more info out of buying the e-tutorial as well - which is easy. If don't win a freebie I will definitely get the tutorial anyway - check out the recipe for superfood bon bons - who doesn't need more recipes like this?

So here goes, Meghan says to include this link for the new tutorial in my post to participate, and it is hereby done. If you are AT ALL interested in nutrition, superfoods, improving your health or healing yourself by eating right, please go and check out all about Meghan, her story and the group challenges that she runs on her blog. This page is all about the new 60+ pages tutorial available for sale on first of April.
