Gluten Free?

To be or not to be gluten free, that is the question. I have become a gym rat, I feel better and if I do say so myself starting to look better. However, I'm not here to brag about that. With this new found love of the gym and fitness I am starting to recognize what foods my body likes and what my body doesn't like. I love bread, my body does not. I love sweets and ice cream, my body does not. Headaches and stomach aches follow pretty quickly after eating these things, and in my mind it isn't really worth it. And I'm not going to fool myself and say that never again will I eat these things, but I will limit them to rare occasions.

I recently came across this blog. She has great recipes, tips and whatnot. And quite frankly it has inspired me. So we'll see how I do!

My favorite breakfast (Thanks Jenn T)

I have found the steel cut oats at Harmons.
I am sure they are available elsewhere, I just haven't looked.

Just a few blueberries are plenty.
Too many can overpower everything else.


Some people know my struggle with bananas, but I love them with my oats!

You boil 3 cups of water and 1 cup of the steel oats. It makes enough for me to have breakfast for 2 or 3 days, and on day 2 and 3 the oats aren't so chewy, but I like them chewy too.
I logged this meal today on my calorie tracker: 237 Calories

Anyone else gluten free? Or have any good recipes to share?
