grateful for food
Despite my new gluten-free diet, I still love food. Perhaps I love it more than ever now that I have to be more mindful of it. Tonight I am grateful for the importance of food in my life, and I celebrated it with a homemade meal of pasta (brown rice fusilli) with marinara sauce, and blue lake beans sauteed in pancetta, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil infused with lemon. It took less than an hour to prepare everything, and was utterly worth it. Mind you, I won’t stop loving my curry take-out, but there is something inimitably satisfying about a good homemade meal, especially when shared with appreciative loved ones.
Yum. If I weren’t so stuffed, I’d enjoy another helping right now!

in having a gluten free diet, don’t you miss the things you could eat. personally i believe a good diet is one of those in which you eat what you want when you want, but still having a balanced diet. Excersise is the KEY !

My swan, I bet you didn’t even know how good of a cook you are. And I’m a picky bastard!
