#SummerBrainChallenge ~ Day 5
Eat With The Season
.
Now that's easier said than done in the high desert, Great
Basin, of SE Oregon! Planting anything before June is a death sentence!!
.
Living in a remote area has it's challenges and rewards. The
bounty in the photo is from a prior year, but with persistence and patience,
it's well worth it! The down side is that we have a very short growing season.
.
We are blessed with a produce truck that comes to town
beginning mid-summer. They bring us regionally grown fruits and veggies that we
so much appreciate!
.
Frozen veggies may hold the nutrients, but the flavor and
texture are just lost. To me, there's nothing like fresh veggies for breakfast,
lunch and dinner!
.
I'd show you a pic of my tomato plants that I put in 4 days
ago...but, I prefer to think of what they're going to produce this summer!

#SummerBrainChallenge ~ Day 6
Master Your Blood Sugar
.
Dr. Perlmutter writes: "Added sugars and high glycemic
index foods are everywhere. Try to cut added sugar from your diet completely
for the rest of the challenge period - keeping your blood sugar stable will
make you feel amazing."
.
Sugar really is everywhere! Today was grocery day...label
reading day...just to buy bacon without sugar is impossible in our small town.
It's so frustrating!!
.
I make all my condiments and baked goods to get the right
ingredients. It's worth the effort! .,.,.,
Sweeteners are sweeteners, and are a treat, not a staple. So
these applesauce muffins use honey, and are wonderful, but are made on a
limited basis 😉

#SummerBrainChallenge ~ Day 7
How's it Going?
.
Yes, week one is in the books!! Actually, I'm feeling
better; more energy and purpose.
.
I've been carb cheating for the past few months. My husband
decided that it would be easier on me if he ate what I ate...isn't that sweet
of him?!? Well, he lost 20 pounds...and he was already skinny!!! With my
nutritionist's help, we determined that a low carb diet wasn't the best for
him...he's extremely active with a high metabolism. So, we added organic white
potatoes and organic white rice (cooked then frozen before eaten) back into his
diet. Well, I would have a small portion myself too 😉☺!!
But, not this week!
.
I'm working toward strictly Keto, so this was as good of a
time as any!
.
Breakfast salads are one of my favorites!!! This is my
super-sized BLT with the works! Yes, I broke my egg yolk LOL!!
It's a wonderful Friday, I hope everyone has great plans for the weekend!!!
In Health & Love~
