...AND THREE WEEKS LATER

Let me just start by saying "I apologize for not being a very consistent blogger". Now that that's out of the way, where were we? Anyone remember?

On June the 30th I announced that we were going to go 3 weeks egg free in an effort to clear up my psoriasis. The first 2 weeks went very well and then...I left home for 4 days.
1 or 2 days would have been fine, but 4 days...not so much! Being surrounded for 4 days by chicken salad, yeast rolls and spinach dip was just more than I could hold up to!
This is one of my dearest friends Ann! I love her dearly! Yes, enough to leave home for 4 days, 3 of which she worked my butt off from early morning until early morning!


Ah, but after all of the wedding work was done, we took a day for fun!


Not a good picture below, but I just wanted to show that we did let our husbands and her little girl + friend come along for the fun too! Even though they didn't work as hard as we did! HaHa They worked! (Their boat, not our's)


OK, back to the 3 weeks egg free. The way our body works, it takes 3 full weeks to get something out of your system. If you have any of whatever you're cleaning out, you have to start all over again! So 2 weeks down the drain... but I'm not complaining, I had a great time and the wedding was absolutely beautiful!
As of Saturday we've made another 2 weeks! WhooHoo! My psoriasis has quit itching but isn't healed. I'm thinking that it will take longer than 3 weeks for my skin to actually heal. Time will tell! It won't be pretty, but at the end of 3 weeks I'll post a before and after picture.

I am very excited to share a granola cereal recipe that I've recently made. It was awesome and I will be making it again! My husband loved it!


This is a precooked picture. I don't know why I didn't get an after shot. Here is the link so that you can made the recipe yourself.  http://againstallgrain.com/2011/09/20/gluten-free-vanilla-almond-granola/

Above is the picture from Danielle Walker's blog. She is one of my favorite Paleo chefs and has several cookbooks for sale. You should check them out, if you haven't already!

I'll share a few pictures from the wedding for you to enjoy!

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

We tried to get them to look at the camera but Brailon just had to give grand-mommy kisses!
