This was a big week! I got my coconut butter from Nikki's Coconut butter and my Cappello's order (2 packages of gnocchi, 1 lasagna, 1 fettuccine) and my slice and bake cookies.
I made cookies last night, 2 of them, and I have got to tell you they are amazing!!!! The two tubes (weighing 2 pounds) will last me awhile. I already put one of them in the freezer. I plan on making some of the pasta this weekend and chowing down!
Buying this stuff made me realize just how expensive being aware of your sensitivities really is! I hate knowing I have to eat a certain way just to feel better. It's not so much about weight loss but that's been an added bonus. I really can't handle the brain fuzziness, the lack of concentration/attention span, the bloat, the acne, the sick feelings, etc. I know I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, I feel the best I've ever felt. I'm so much happier and clearer. It's kind of remarkable. For me, the money spending is worth it because I feel so much better eating this way. But I won't lie, I do think of price tag often and have to talk myself into allowing myself to purchase this stuff because I know how I feel when I eat a certain way.
It's interesting to me to keep thinking, deeply, about how much food effects our bodies. It's amazing to believe that even the smallest amount of something can have an adverse reaction within our bodies.
A year ago, I would see food commercials and start salivating. Now....not at all...I look at the food and think about what went into it, what it is and how modified it is or isn't. I'm still amazed at it all.
I do start getting hungry when I see an amazing recipe for gluten free biscuits, paleo pancakes, fruit, coffee (haha) and other yummy things. These things won't be found on TV commercials but rather online, on the Paleo people's blogs or instagram. Those are the things that make my mouth water.
