About Me

My name is Denise and I have an autoimmune condition of the thyroid called Hashimoto's Disease. This diagnosis brings a different set of challenges for each patient although most of us have to make major changes in our diet. Until recently, my diet was high in gluten, dairy, soy and corn. In fact, I didn't even know the names of 75% of the items in the fresh food isle! That's been the biggest obstacle on my quest to wellness. It is the reason I started this blog; to find and share recipes without those inflammatory ingredients. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! If you have a favorite recipe of your own to share, please drop me a note via email or through my facebook page. Thanks for checking out the blog -- I look forward to hearing from you!

Challenge Day #6

Busy, busy day!!! I have a scout troop that meets on Saturdays so not much time to think about cooking.  Luckily, I wasn't very hungry today.

Breakfast: Protein Shake & Hashimoto's Kitchen Coconut Bar
[Shake: 1/2 cup water, collard greens, 1 banana, 5 cherries, 3 strawberries (all frozen), 1/4 tsp pure vanilla, 1 tbsp protein powder, and ice.

 The coconut bar was a little more formed this morning after refrigeration all night. Still working on how to bind it together but it's still delicious!].

 Lunch: Leftover Grilled Chicken & Zucchini
[I told you -- I love leftovers!!]

 Snack: Hashimoto's Kitchen Coconut Bar

 Dinner: Grilled Steak
[My husband spoils me... he grilled steak for dinner!  That's all I had -- not very hungry].
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
