Some days putting one foot in front of the other is like climbing a mountain. And if you are able to keep moving forward, even baby steps - it is enough.
Some days getting up and doing one good thing for your body, is enough. And, if you can do that every day (just add one thing good for body, mind, spirit) the benefits will add up.
But for now - just focus on today.
And focus on that gorgeous pineapple you were inspired to buy.
Because it's fresh and organic.
And gluten free, and detoxing, and loaded with vitamin C, and manganese, and fiber, and antioxidants, and bromelain, and reduces inflammation.
It's refreshing, juicy and smells (and tastes) incredible.
But first you face the task of cutting it. It takes time and effort, and is easier if you have a plan. And a big sharp knife!
I researched and created this for Simply Gluten Free Magazine, May/June 2013 and it was a tremendous thing to learn. So I am off to cut my pineapple, and I will take my time.
Then I will eat some, add some to my lunch salad, and tonight will grill a few slices to add to our grilled chicken.
What will you add today to support you body, mind or spirit?

March is not exactly peach season in the North East, but they have been a current food obsession of mine. With all the meds currently in my system my taste buds are very funky (even what I can eat is limited) so I am in constant search for appealing and appetizing foods.
Peaches and nectarines are in my top 10 this week.
So I went in search of some new recipes to try:
I love salsa and with peach added it has a lovely sweet zing:
Peach Salsa
I think we will make this for dinner tonight:
Peach caprese grilled chicken
My mouth was watering when I found this selection on pinterest, I intend to work my way through these salads:
Peach and Avocado salad
Another chicken entree that will make it into rotation:

My Facebook page is riddled with video recipes these days. They come across as so quick and easy. But much more time consuming then they appear.
Recently though a friend shared this recipe by Delish on Facebook and I was intrigued. Intrigued and haunted! The Zucchini cheesy bread was in my dreams that night, so the next morning I ran out and stocked up on the ingredients. I had to!
Truth be told - any 'bread' that doesn't use flour or grains grabs my attention. That, and anything that even resembles pizza in any way.
Luckily I was given a food processor recently and it makes all the difference in speeding through the grating/grinding process. Hand grating 3 zucchinis and all that cheese could be quite laborious and time consuming.
The recipe was easy to follow though, and impressively mine came out looking exactly like the video. And the taste! The taste was a winner and everyone raved. I have made it successfully three times now.
Tips to share:
1. Be sure to squeeze all the liquid out of the grated zucchini. If it's too wet it takes twice as long to bake (how do I know? don't ask!) and it doesn't firm up as well.
2. Definitely serve it with a marinara sauce for dipping.
3. Excellent leftover too!
Enjoy!
