Quick story: Yesterday, I ate 89 percent of a bag of grain free granola.

It was delicious. But it was also the most sugar I’ve had in 35 days.

My. Head. Hurt. Like. A. Boss.

The Whole30 is no joke. It changes your life. It teaches you to notice how your body reacts to things.

Just because it’s grain free and Paleo and all that jazz, doesn’t make sugar any less powerful of a dragon.

The thing about Food Freedom is it allows you the grace to acknowledge the habit (eating a whole bag before lunch) and revise (more veggies and water and good stuff).

Do the Whole30 program. Change your life. It only takes 30 days. You can do it.

Now for the favorites.

Loving all of the Simple Mills products. I get mine through Thrive Market. The Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Almond crackers are delicious. And I enjoy them with this lettuce wrapped burger from a hamburger supper. Yep. Good.
This awesome cake on Food Network’s Facebook page.
I’ve always wanted to do this, but I haven’t yet. Maybe I will now.
This awesome list of Friends episodes I must rewatch immediately.
Teas can heal all things. I’m a true believer in peppermint tea to combat upset tummy issues.

We’ve made it to Friday.

It’s day 29 of Whole30.

I’m almost there. The end of the clean eating road. Though I don’t think much will change. I’ve been feeling so good and clear-headed. Don’t really want to lose that.

So what are my favorites today?

Got my first StitchFix. LOVED all five pieces. If you haven’t tried it, you should. Here’s how.

A Taste of Fall

September 25, 2017Leave a comment

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I love coffee. Lattes, especially.

They are so creamy and warm. And just….perfect.

When I shared my post about Whole30 Lattes, I was just messing around trying to make creamy, delicious coffee.

But as I got to searching on the Internet and Pinterest, I ran across Against All Grain’s Pumpkin Spiced Latte.

And I can honestly say it is a dream come true.

Warm and frothy with a light pumpkin flavor. It is heaven in a coffee mug.

I added a little MCT oil to my mixture and left out the maple syrup for now because of Whole30.

But it is a decadent treat. And I will be keeping a the pumpkin base mixture in the fridge and add it to my coffee to welcome the cooler fall weather.

What are your favorite ways to enjoy pumpkin?
