a few more yummy things ive made

Fall Off The Bone Ribs!

This was so easy...

About 4 to 5lbs of ribs on the Bone

1.5 Bottles of BBQ sauce of choice (i used Sweet Baby Rays Hickory & Brown Sugar)

1 Onion chopped

Salt and Pepper to taste...

Put in the crockpot for 5 hours on high.. set it and forget it! woot! They were so darn good and literally fell right off the bone....

Egg Muffins

These are an easy quick fix for either breakfast, lunch or snack...

The one on the left is just 1 egg white, broccoli and cheese

The one on the right is 1 egg white, salsa, feta and broccoli

You can really use anything you like with eggs, i have in the past also used potatoes, bacon, string beans.. whatever you like!!

Spray Muffin Pan

Crack 1 Jump Egg White Per Muffin hole

Then add the toppings of your choice

Bake at 385 for about 15 to 20 mins or until they look cooked

If you over cook them, they will turn green!

You can keep the extras in the fridge for a few days or if you make a big batch you can freeze them for awhile!.. I usually just put them all in the freezer and take them out in the morning, and around lunch time they are thawed andi just heat them up. If you plan on having them for breakfast i would take them outa the freezer the night before and leave them in the fridge!

Some more positive coming from no wheat

SOO normally when i start my monthly cycle i turn into a BEAST... i have always been irregularly late (unless i exercise regularly)... and i normally get the worst cramps EVERY for a week before... I received my friend last saturday (a whole day early) with NO cramps whatsoever... and i didnt have ANY mood swings AT ALL!!!

Amen!! No wheat is the solution to every problem i had been having!!

Also id like to report that my head/hair hasnt smelled since i quit the wheat! woot!

Thats all for now!!!

Wheatless High

SO i have been feeling GREAT!!!! I also have been doing kettle bells with Joe.. and that has been helping ALOT... i havent lost MORE weight but i can see my body changing... i am alot tighter in places i wasnt like my stomach and legs and butt.... but i think that has alot of to with the kettles in less to do with the Wheat.. I DO think though that not eating wheat is giving me a cleaner body.... my hair is still super clean all the time.... my nails are so healthy and so is my skin.... i started taking flax seed oil in my protein shakes because i was having alittle problem with my bowels, which i was hoping was going to clear up with the no wheat-- no so much... i was talking to a lady at work that told me that it takes AWHILE to get your body normal again without wheat bc the damage is already done... she has been off wheat & dairy for 5 years now and she feels awesome... so i guess it only gets better from here..... below are some of the things i have been eating....

I call this Protein Mocha... I make a pot of Dunkin Donuts regular French Vanilla Coffee and put it in the fridge... this way i have it prepared in the morning, i normally can get 3 or so cups out of my pot... i started with just using 1/2 a cup (im not real good with caffeine- i get the shakes).. now im up to a whole cup... then i add almond milk... 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein.. and 2 ice cubes... stick it in the Magic Bullet and viola! Protein Mocha! Its DELISH... its like a chocolate Coffee treat.. with very few extra calories from the coffee... plus i am getting an extra jolt in the AM!! Lord knows i do need it.. now im always buzzing around!

Kale Chips... This was pretty easy... i wish i could have enjoyed them more... I bought Kale from the Farmers Market... i wash them all good.. and cut them the leaves off the stem... bunched them all up and dried them really good... put them on parchment paper and sprayed them with Olive Oil Spary and sprinkled with salt... put them in the oven at 350 for like 15 mins... and they came out DELISH.... but it was late so i put them in a bag to enjoy the next day.... unfortunately they werent good the next day... so note to self--- only make them when i can enjoy them right away!! You can make only what you want to eat and keep the rest of the uncut kale in the fridge, im pretty sure it stays good in there for awhile... I also am going to try sprinkling them with Parmesan cheese instead of salt next time... heard thats delish!

I found this on Pinterest.... and i thought it would be great because i could make it Gluten Free... So it was easy... i bought 2 containers of strawberries... cut out the top and bottoms so they would stand.. then cut the middles out and make a cheese cake filling with Cream Cheese and powdered sugar and vanilla... put the filling in a ziplock... cut a whole in the corner and squeezed it intot he strawberries... the recipe called for graham crackers but thats not gluten free... so i got these GF ginger snap cookies and crushed them up in the magic bullet and dipped the strawberries in them!!! I brought them to work and they were a HUGE hit... love love love... this is going to be my new dessert when i have to make something to bring somewhere... its delish and i can eat it!!

Here are some improvement pictures.... The first ones i took were first thing in the morning.... these i took at night.. but i can see a HUGE difference in my stomach... it looks so much flatter.... i also am noticing a difference in my clothes.. i dont feel so "packed in".. LOL

2 weeks wheatless

Everyday gets less hard... i actually dont even really care about the things i cant eat anymore, because there is still so much great clean food i can eat....

I havent weighed myself and its too early right now to go in the bathroom and make noise bc the hubs is sleeping... my last posting i actually started on 2/1 and then never got around to finishing it... so thats from about a week ago...

Ive been hitting the gym 5 or so days a week and doing kettle bells with Joe in addition to that... i feel better... so thats what counts...

Another interesting thing i noticed was that my head/hair which used to smell and be greasy after 1 day... is not either of those things anymore... infact this week i got away with not washing it for 3 days....

On every website ive been going to to get recipes, ive noticed that what you need to substitute the wheat is alot of weird things that i dont know how to say.... so i def dont want to put them in my body... so ive been really just eating naturally wheat free things... alot of fruit and veggies, chicken, eggs, turkey meat, cottage cheese, rice, popcorn (not so much of that bc it makes me bloated), cheese, yogurt.....

i can feel my stomach getting flatter... see ya later wheat belly!

another lb down... could this really be working??

Unbreaded (wheat-free) Eggplant Chicken Parm! Delish!

i prepared all the eggplant pieces the other day, baked in the oven with olive-oil...  and put them in the fridge for easy meals...

I took one out last night and added a few pieces of baked chicken (that i also always keep on hand)

Put some sauce and cheese on top.. and put it in the toaster oven...

IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST MOST FILLING DINNERS I HAVE HAD IN AWHILE!!

Tipped the scale at 127.4 this morning.... could this really be working??

Im not sure still but the fact that i have not changed ANYTHING else in my life-- im thinking maybe it is.. because i have been stuck at 130 for about a month and it was only going up from there... i havent really see the scales go DOWN this much in about 6 or so months...
