Dish of the Day

My old go-to breakfast was 3 or 4 whole eggs new and 3 (or 4) slices of bacon. I ate this meal literally every morning like clockwork. 

Now that I'm in baby weight loss mode, my NEW go-to breakfast is: (nothing against back really, still love it, just manikin' some changes...)

1 cup of raw spinach

2 eggs, 2 egg whites scrambled with black pepper 

Sometimes I substitute kale 

(And if I'm not lazy or rushed I'll add a tbls Of avocado 

At 3 months post partum, I had 10 lbs left to lose. Now 4 months post partum, I have 5 lbs left to lose til  I reach my pre-baby weight.

COCONUT OIL FOR $5 with this coupon code...

Coconut oil is hands down one of my favorite products of all time. It has so many uses! You can find coconut oil at lots of places now, but liquid coconut oil is still a bit hard to find. They have it Whole Foods and online. I have a special offer to share with you gals! You can get COCONUT OIL FOR $5 online with the code below.

If you don't already know, Coconut Oil is naturally AMAZING! Here are my top 10 favorite every day uses (and the most common ones) for coconut oil around our house...


1. Oil for cooking- gives food a subtle, but great flavor! Very good for you! A nice, flavorful change from EVOO...

2. Skin moisturizer - Works just as well as any moisturizing product out there, and only has ONE ingredient. Smells great too!

3. Base for essential oil dilution - Into aromatherapy or natural, medicinal uses for essential oils? Try using coconut oil as your carrier oil! I diffuse coconut oil and lavender oil in my daughter's room (and our room) frequently. It is also my base for diluting other oils and using them for various things around the house.

4. "Mouthwash" and for oil pulling - It has natural antiseptic and disinfecting properties. This stuff kills mouth bacteria and naturally whitens teeth. I did my own month long story on it along with my dentist. I saw big time results. My teeth turned 2 shades whiter in 30 days and my mouth bacteria improved by 20%!

5. Shave gel - Why buy shave gel? It contains a bunch of toxic chemicals...I can just use coconut oil and my legs are nice and smooth afterwards.

6. Bath and shower gel - I LOVE BATHS. I really don't use bubble bath anymore. I pour liquid coconut oil into the tub with hot water, and my skin feels amazing afterwards! Sometimes I drop some lavender oil in there too....(I guess I really love lavender oil too!)

7. Coffee "creamer" -  I don't use milk or half and half, or butter...I just put 1 tsp of this in my coffee or tea, and it becomes silky and smooth, It also adds flavor. It sweetens it a bit too. You don't even need sweetener!

8. Hair conditioner - Coconut oil treatment on my ends for 10 minutes works just as well as the $25 power dose of conditioner from the hair salon!

9. Eye Makeup remover - No need to buy anything else. It really takes off mascara - even waterproof mascara!

10. Formula Additive - I make homemade formula for my little one, because I am supplementing in addition to breastfeeding and pumping. Most commercial formulas contain rancid vegetable oils, but my homemade baby formula contains coconut oil! OF COURSE!

You can spray coconut oil out into your pan on the stove or onto your skin. I keep some on a little glass spray bottle like this...

Coconut Oil is a quality product, but it's not cheap. I have paid $14 for coconut oil before in stores. But I have a better deal for you! Keep reading...

HAVE A BLESSED EASTER!

Best 'Non-Cheese' Cheese

Recently, I sampled 3 different products, all of them by Sari Foods. (http://sarifoods.co/)  

They all arrived well packaged and have all been great, healthy additions to my diet. This is my review of Product number two, Nutritional Yeast Flakes.

Product 2: Nutritional Yeast Flakes

The second of these products is The Nutritional Yeast Flakes.

Benefits:

This highly nutritious product is Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Vegan, Dairy Free and MSG-free.  It's ONLY ingredient is ____. It is naturally occurring and is non-synthetic.  This Ancient Egyptian Superfood is derived from Molasses. The nutritional yeast grows on sugar cane and on beet molasses. It then undergoes a heat treatment, and becomes deactivated, meaning it will not continue to grow in your stomach. This bag is 8 0z and has 14 servings. 

It contains 18 amino acids, 15 minerals, Vitamin B complex, Beta-Glucans and 20% fiber. It is pretty high in protein too, containing over 8 grams in one serving, and 4 grams of fiber in one serving. A serving size is a recommended 2 heaping tablespoons.

My Personal Experience With This Product:

Lately I am a yeast beast! I have tried several items containing brewer's yeast to boost my milk supply. I have also added this yeast to salads every day recently. It tasted just like cheese! It's not though, which works for me, since I am eating dairy-free and paleo. I am still trying lose my last 2 pounds of baby weight.

The product is naturally occurring and has really helped boost my immune system. Lots of crap has been going around and I have not been sick yet! 

I remember searching Trader Joe's for an adequate cheese tasting cheese substitute a few years back and was unsuccessful.  The yeast is somewhat like a grainy powder (similar to Parmesan cheese) and has a distinct, cheesy flavor...definitely satisfies my cheese cravings! I have been eating it on top of salads daily for weeks now.  Think about what you typically add cheese to...try these flakes on top of your meals and snacks instead! I highly recommend you give this product a try. Love it!
