Green Gloop! I said Green Gloop!

My insides are a mess as we all know so Dr. T has me drinking a cup of steamed pureed vegetables twice a day, every day. Ha ha I thought some people might be interested in learning how to not only get their daily veggies in but also how to strengthen their stomach lining.

A handful of spinach
A handful of green beans
Some celery
Some parsley
Some zucchini
(All of it in equal amounts, and preferably all organic)

Dr. T suggested I put in other things to give it more flavor. I tried garlic and then decided it's easier for this picky eater to choke down the less flavor it has.

Steam it. Then put it all (including the water) into the blender. Blend, blend, blend! I don't like mine chunky at all so I blend it until the zucchini peel (dark green dots) are really small. I usually make enough for 2 days worth and then I just keep it in the fridge. When I'm ready to drink it I put some sea salt in it and then warm it up. So hot that I can barely get it down without burning myself, for some reason that really helps. Lean over the sink just in case, and chug it. Make sure you have something to eat after like...fruity flavored rice cakes. I promise after a week of it you'll stop gagging afterwards and a cup will go by really fast :) Just think the whole time how beautiful your insides are getting!!

Things to Remember

People ask me all the time how I survive not eating gluten. What I don't think they realize is how easy it can become! My family hasn't had to change how we eat because of my "special needs" we still eat the exact same things. We might have to switch out a few ingredients but that's easy. I'm a real simple girl so if you haven't noticed I'm keeping this blog pretty simple. I want people to realize that it's not hard to be Gluten Free. That we can eat the same things! And that we can eat a lot!

Bean Bake

My family loves to eat this dinner with tortilla chips, but even without it's just great on it's own!

1 Lg. can Pork and Beans
1 Lb. hamburger, browned with grease drained
1/3 cup chopped green pepper
1 small onion chopped
1 cup celery
salt and pepper
1 tsp. vinegar
2 tsp. brown sugar
1 can GF tomato soup, undiluted

Bake at 360 degrees for 40 minutes

Christmas or Funeral Potatoes

My family and I LOVE these potatoes! But we've been taught that they're called both funeral and Christmas Potatoes. We have found that people respond better if we say they're Christmas Potatoes, even if we are at a funeral... I highly suggest them with ribs. :)

6 potatoes boiled & grated

1 pint of sour cream

1 can GF cream of chicken soup

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup scallion onions

1 cup cheddar cheese grated

Fold all that goodness into potatoes. Sprinkle crushed cornflakes with butter on top. Warm and 350 degrees.
