Heal-ing

Day 1 of blogging…

Healing? Lofty goal, right? Complete lifestyle shift for a family of 7. Seems impossible. Blog about it? Sure, why not.

Three months ago I was given alarming news. After feeling a bulge on my neck I got an ultrasound. They discovered 6 thyroid nodules. My next step was supposed to be biopsy. This news thrust me into a whole new lifestyle and set my feet on a heal-thy eating, thinking & living path.

MORNING by MORNING…NEW MERCIES I SEE! All I have needed His hand has provided. Great is His faithfulness!

My hope is to share heal-thy recipes I’ve made along the way! Many of them are Vegan, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Meatless and Sugar Free. Southern Comfort Foods were the most exciting and the most challenging makeovers! It must compete with the original to be a keeper! These recipes have been tested and retested on the most skeptical dairy-loving, meat-eating, sugar-craving, gluten-swooning kiddos and hubby…with much success!

I lost 17 lbs in 2 months by trading in a “semi- healthy” menu (gluten and sugar restricted, full dairy) for a menu that brought LIFE. Whole foods in every meal. Mounds of veggies. Quality meat. Mostly organic. The challenge of trying new recipes and making them taste amazing put wind in my sail.

Now to share them with YOU! I hope you enjoy them as much as we have.
