These are the ramblings of a self-described wheat, grain and gluten-free “gourmet girl” that loves to cook and eat good food. I love creating and sharing recipes and photographing “beautiful food”. In July 2012, I eliminated wheat, grains and added sugar from my diet and rediscovered real, whole fresh foods again and effortlessly lost 65+ pounds. Join me in my wheat, grain and gluten-free journey. See how easy it is to enjoy grain free gourmet, one meal at a time! Welcome to my blog. Enjoy!

Happy Sunday!
We awoke to another gorgeous spring day this morning. It is cooler than normal, but its bright, sunny and quite breezy out. While our pollen count has come down, it is still in the 700's which is quite high. We again decided to get our walk in first thing this morning and take advantage of the beautiful weather before having breakfast and beginning our chores. It was 48 degrees at 10:00 when we went out for our walk but its supposed to get up to 67 today -- we ended up walking for an hour to enjoy the beautiful weather. When we got back in, I wasn't sure what to have for breakfast -- but I wasn't in the mood for eggs and I definitely had my fill of peppers yesterday after having them for both brunch and dinner! So, I mixed a cup of Fage 2% plain Greek yogurt with some stevia, a few diced strawberries, some chopped walnuts and then paired it with half of a sliced avocado sprinkled with some Celtic salt and black pepper. I know it sounds like a really weird combination...and it probably is, but it worked for me and I enjoyed it. I snapped a couple photos below. Enjoy!
Your pizza looks so good! I almost made it last night. It's something I'll be trying soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kath -- hope you enjoy it! :-)
ReplyDeleteFinally remembered to look for the Fage yogurt. Had some 2% today and I like it very much ... creamy and mild.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are gorgeous ... a sight for sore, winter eyes. The only sign of spring around here is the grass, having greened up nicely after torrents of rain last week! Well, I suppose you could count a few crocuses and one or two daffodils gingerly poking their heads out!
PS: I think avocado goes with positively anything! We have one almost daily!
ReplyDeleteHi Cybersis! Glad you found the Fage 2% -- I like it because it doesn't seem as tart as some brands can be. And it feels more rich than 2% too. Crocuses and daffodils are a very good sign that spring has begun there! :-)
ReplyDeleteI try to eat at least 1/2 of one per day most days too! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! What a lovely home you have. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes lately. Just great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patricia! Hope you find one that sparks an idea or two! :-)
