January 7

breakfast: gluten-free muffin, raw milk

lunch: stomach didn't feel well, so I didn't eat

dinner: lentil and farro soup

I skipped working out today. My stomach just isn't feeling right. Hopefully, it'll be back to normal soon.

I haven't really know what to write in these posts lately. Maybe something will come to me... If you have any ideas, let me know.

Perfecting Gluten-Free, Wheat-Free Muffins

breakfast: granola

lunch: salad, roasted cauliflower and potatoes

snack: muffin with raw butter

dinner: baked unstuffed shells, swiss chard, carrots

I think I've finally perfected a gluten-free/wheat-free muffin recipe. The key seems to be soaking the grains in either buttermilk or yogurt to soften them and bring out the flavor. It also has the added benefit of reducing phytic acid and increasing mineral absorption. This time I soaked them for 24 hours and they came so soft, tender and fluffy - just like the real thing.

This new year is flying. It's amazing how fast everything is going by. Do you remember how when you were growing up things just took forever? The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas seemed to last for months. Now, it's just over before you know it.
