Danielle’s Digest: Week of 3/22/15

I’m asked so frequently about what it looks like to live a grain-free life day to day, what new products I find or recommend, and what I eat on a daily basis. So I’m going to start sharing a new blog post recapping my week for you guys! I’ll try to catalog my meals, snacks, grocery and market shopping finds, and even some of my fashion finds on occasion! These photos, and much more, are also shared on Instagram, so if you don’t follow me there yet make sure to subscribe!

Earlier this week we filmed a video showing you how to make my grain-free wraps from Meals Made Simple (coming to the blog soon)! Working as a husband and wife team is the best, although there may or may not be some bickering caught on tape.

My mom and I made all of my dad's favorites for his birthday this past week. I used my  herb ranch dressing recipe (in Meals Made Simple, found on page 247) to make a homemade blue cheese dressing with Humbolt Fog for wedge salads with bacon, tomatoes, and onion. We grilled NY Strips, roasted Romanesco with garlic and ghee, and they all had loaded baked potatoes with raw, grass-fed cheddar but I used a Hannah sweet potato.

These appointments help keep me sane. I usually start to have anxiety about 3 weeks after the last appointment and then have to choose daily to have faith instead of fear for that last week until I get to hear that everything is okay again. Being a mom to an angel-baby is not an easy road, even with another sweet one on the way.
