Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas

Can't believe this guy is 9! Where has the time gone!

Living a Gluten Free life, I have made the decision to reduce my eating out. Mainly because I don't want to risk of being contaminated as I have celiac disease and it does make me very sick. So I love that I have the options to make Asian food at home and that is tastes AMAZING!!! General Tao is another one of my favourites and even though my family doesn't love it, I can still enjoy it.... What I do is I freeze my leftovers and I enjoy them for lunch. Yes you can freeze rice. Over the years, I have learned what works being frozen and what does not! What is one meal that you love but your family doesn't?

How do you start your day? I start my day with a coffee and a delicious smoothie using Epicure's Power Up Protein Blend. Which comes in 2 flavours, Chocolate & Vanilla. I am not a huge breakfast person and I struggle to actually eat something in the morning. For years, I went without eating breakfast and my energy levels were never where I want them to be.... Once I started drinking a smoothie in the morning, I noticed that everything changed. I had more energy. I would wake up looking forward to my morning smoothie. I was no longer hangry and would have patience for my kids in the morning. Everything in the mornings just got better! I am so thankful that I have found a Protein Powder that is delicious. The flavour is amazing. And so it the texture. To be honest, I can't even tell that there is protein powder in my smoothies because it is so smooth! Do you drink smoothies? What is your favourite smoothie combo?
