Well... Day one is done! Did you survive?

I had a pea protein shake for breakfast, soup and salad for lunch, pork roast and veggies for dinner and nuts and sparkling water for a snack!  I am a little tired this morning probably from the sugar withdrawl. I did this last year and know it only gets better. By the end of my 30 days I went off all my acid reflux medications and my eczema vanished!  Good luck to all who plan to stick it out!

It's Back …. Yeast Free With Me 2015… I am starting tomorrow! Here is the LINK!!!!!!

It's Back

Warm Lemon Water… Everyday!



Having a cup of warm lemon water is a great way to start
the day.  If you can't give up that coffee have the warm lemon
water after dinner.  Lemon is an excellent source of vitamin C
as well as potassium.  It aids in digestion and the production of
digestive juices.  It increases hydration, helps with constipation,
and freshens your breath and skin! 

Just take the juice of one lemon and add it to 6 oz of warm or 
hot water.

3 Tbs olive oil
1/2 yellow onion
1 clove garlic
1/2 bell pepper
1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1 package of Hot chili seasoning (like McCormicks)
1 can of Campbells tomato soup
1/2 of that can of water.

Finely mince pepper onion and garlic in food processor and
then sauté in olive oil about 10 minutes.  Salt and pepper to 
taste

Add the ground venison and stir until  all browned

Add the pepper flakes and McCormicks and stir to combine

Taste at this point for season adjustment.  Add more salt, pepper, flakes if needed.

Add the tomato soup and 1/2 can of water.  Cook on low for 
about 1/2 hour.

Delicious on hot dogs, nachos, or french fries!

Yeast Free Veggie Broth



I use this product for the base of so many recipes.  It is so flavorful and one of the only products with
zero sugar in the ingredients.  You would be surprised how many broths (chicken, beef, veggie) have 
added sugar.  Why on earth does chicken broth need sugar?  You can find this at Wal-mart and Whole Foods.  
I will be kicking off the Yeast free diet with 2 pots of soup that will last the week.  I am making a chicken and greens soup and a tomato bean.  Recipes and pictures to come!

Best Pork Roast Ever



The key to a melt in your mouth pork roast is getting the right 
cut of meat.  My favorite is the pork butt roast also called a 
shoulder.  This is a 7 pound roast.  There is a small amount of
bone and a fair amount of fat.  Place it in a roasting pan fat side 
up.  Cover all four sides with garlic salt, pepper, and paprika.  
Cut slits in the fat and insert 4 to 5 whole peeled garlic cloves.
If you are adding sauerkraut … place the rinsed kraut all around 
the roast and add 1 cup of water.  If you are roasting as is add one 
cup of water and a cup of stock… or 2 cups of water.  
I covered this roast with foil and baked it in a 350 degree oven for
4 to 5 hours.  Check it after 3 hours to make sure there is adequate 
liquid in the pan.  If not… add more.  You do not want the pan to
dry out.  Smaller roast… less time.
