What I am Eating - February

We've had a great month:

Not so "Cheesy" Chicken Casserole

I was honestly surprised at how "cheesy" this ended up being. It seems to have all the right components: Fat, oily, creamy, salt, orange color, mold. (thyme always tastes moldy to me) Some how this just works.

Paleo Stuffed Yellow Squash

Kevin is not a fan of squash but he really enjoyed this meal. We finished off a bag of organic squash from Costco. We will definitely make this again.

Energy Bars

This quick and easy energy bar recipe is super easy and great to have on hand. I keep a container of these in my fridge. You can individually wrap them and they will be ready to grab on the way out the door. I bought my cranberries from Good Earth, they are sweetened with apple juice. I'm not sure if that is a better alternative to sugar, but I will say they add a zing that I love! 

April Update: I tried these with half raisins and half cranberries and they were just not the same. It did cut down on sugar content.

Raw Brownie Bites

These worked wonderfully for my chocolate craving. I could pop one out of my fridge at a moments notice. 

Blueberry Crisp

Simple and oh so yummy. 

Welcome to Paleo!

After all the fun I had with the elimination diet, I was so looking forward to my next appointment with Dr. Lundell. My appointment was in the early afternoon so I asked my mom to pick Kaylee up from school and I left shortly after dropping her off. I met up with Kevin and he drove the rest of the way to Spanish Fork

Thanks to the "Affordable Care Act" or as I like to call it, The Un-Affordable Care Act, our pretty ridiculous insurance is now even more expensive and covers even less. New year, same plan. I am so not looking forward to seeing the bill for this.

They took my vitals, and surprisingly my weight was back up to what it was at my last appointment. (Somewhere around 103 lbs.) They had no idea that I felt so near to death at times... not really but kind of. I had dropped as low as 98 lbs! Whoa I haven't weighed that much since Jr. High.

I came prepared with a list of all of the supplements and dose amounts that I had been taking. It was much faster than listing them all myself.

I filled out a symptom sheet once again. I noticed that a few things had changed.
