Red Mango

I normally don't treat myself to frozen yogurt/ice cream (like only once or twice a year), but on an early hot day it totally hit the spot!!! Here is my concoction

Yummy Gluten Free Breakfast

Happy Saturday Everyone!!!!

It is only 11am and already I have gotten so much done. Laundry, dishes, financial planning both personal and business related, and tended to my little seedlings and puppy. So to start my day I needed good cheap fuel. Why does it have to be cheap? Because I am starting a business :) without going into debt, while I am paying off debt. It is challenging, but exciting.

So Yummy

So this is what I had:

2 corn tortillas $.09
2 eggs $.23
1/8 can refried beans  $.10
1/2 of an avocado $.25
Butter (for eggs) 1/2 tbsp $.05
1/4 cup diced tom and green onion $.10 (approx)
2 springs cilantro $.03 (approx)
Dash of Sriracha $.02 (approx)

Grand Total: $.87

How do I keep these prices low? Aldi's for everything but the avocado :) The avocado was purchased at Earth Fare 2/$1.00

Pie and Coffee

So this whole gluten free thing has been pretty easy. My work family has been really supportive and has given me an outlet to work on gluten free recipes. However some times you just want to go out and have other people cook for you. Sarah and I were out one day and wanted a coffee and snack! We wandered into Grand Traverse Pie and found a mini gluten free pie and coffee! It was tasty! It is so nice to have a coffee and sweet and know I won't have joint pain later.

Long Time No Post

I am sorry fellow food adventurers for the month long absence! I have been going through some changes. Big changes.

I am trying to acclimate going to a gluten free diet. It's been a little tough and I have been relying on some pre-made foods that really are not all that exciting.

The other reason for my absence is that I bit the bullet and really am trying to get my business started.

Now that I am starting to get my feet underneath me here is a little photo from pre-gluten free diet:
