I thought I couldn't keep up or I didn't have my life together prior to The Holidays/ The New Year! Boy! was I wrong!!! I don't make resolutions because they're pretty much promises we make to ourselves. I am awful at keeping promises! Not because I'm a bad person - I actually have legitimate reasons, but that doesn't matter, a broken promise, is a broken promise, right?!</div><div><br></div><div>Anywho, I told myself I was going to get my s**t together! I'm working with, partnered with, and affiliated with, (however, you want to swing it) I feel like way too many people to not make ANY money...Ok, there's LITTLE money & I mean minuscule, Not enough to pay bills or buy food.</div><div><br></div><div>LET'S PAUSE! I'M NOT COMPLAINING! LET'S NEVER GET THAT TWISTED! I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL TO EVERY COMPANY THAT HAS REACHED OUT TO WORK WITH ME!</div><div><br></div><div>The point is that I feel like I need to be more organized so that I can utilize my time more efficiently. Make time work for me instead of having my hand in so many pots that NOTHING is getting done! I had it ALL planned out... I was going to take a little break from my usual IG stuff (that I was not keeping up with) and have my daughter help edit all the 10,000 videos I've been making (that you guys know nothing about) and start to put them out there during my recovery from my surgery. Oh how that TOTALLY DID NOT HAPPEN like that! I had my surgery - it hurt like hell! I blinked, my daughter got really sick from being around her friend, then I got sicker (I came home from the hospital sick. I don't know what the hell that was. I had all types of breathing problems, my blood oxygen was low, and I couldn't shake this cough I had. I had to use a spirometer on a regular basis and check my SpO2 on my watch constantly once I got home - it was crazy!) Anyway, I had to put my recovery on hold to take care of my daughter, and in turn, I caught what she had.</div><div><br></div><div>Now, I have a crap ton of Chronic Illnesses - hence the name "Spoonie Mom Adventures". I feel like crap pretty much every day but I don't catch colds and viruses and things of that nature anymore. This hit me and I felt like I was going to die! I haven't felt that type of "bad" in years! All I could remember thinking was "I don't want to feel like this AGAIN! EVER!!!" There's also something going on with my knee/ leg and my joints right now. I don't have time to focus on that - oh, and I found another lump in my breast ( I had one removed when I was a teenager.)</div><div><br></div><div>But still, I say all of that, to say I'm ridiculously irritated with myself because I have not gotten it together enough to advertise, promote, blog, vlog, or post almost anything! OR am I being too hard on myself?</div><div><br></div><div>I was able to put something up on IG from Parade, I will link it of course, Cozi, I managed to get something out for them. I'll see if I can find a link for this platform, it's not so easy sharing info for them unless you see my FB or Twitter posts. (1/15/23 - 10:58pm it was not easy getting this link - http://sot.ag/kLF44 - this is From Cozi) I was able to post for Smart Design, I'll tell you about the sale in a second and I was able to tell everyone how much I LOVE these GF Chicken nuggets from Walmart. Other than that - wait! I started The Vision Board Course through Lovet Planners, and I posted that. Ok! now, - other than that, I haven't done much besides the 10 billion videos I can't seem to get my daughter to edit and publish!</div><div><br></div><div>I'm so overwhelmed but I feel like I'm doing nothing and I don't have the right to be overwhelmed! I just want to sit down at my desk, and do my newfound routine (what I'm trying to get started.) Either eat or do my reflection journal, abundance journal, or affirmations and pull from my company jar (to see what I'm working on for the day - Planned spontaneity) and treat the rest of my day like a corporate "work day"! Somehow it NEVER goes that way!</div><div><br></div><div>So far, I'm doing better with the reflection journal than I thought - I'm proud of myself! (I got it at 5 below). I'm keeping up with the (Abundandance) Affirmation journal - kinda (I have a link for that.)</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://lovetplanners.refr.cc/joijohnson">http://lovetplanners.refr.cc/joijohnson</a></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They have several flavors but I wouldn't know what to do with myself if they came out with Strawberry!</div><div><br></div><div>There's always FREE 2-day shipping on all orders, replacement or refund up to 1yr, & a rewards program.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As it usually does!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I just happen to go back & review my invitations (on this platform for brands, yada) & Thistle stood out to me. I told my daughter that I didn't want to start something that I couldn't finish. I'm all ready to my limit with brands, trying to figure out what direction I want to go in with several of them. I don't know what it was, Thistle was really intriguing to me.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I can't remember if it was the day of (12/14) or the day after (12/15) my surgery, I received an email from Thistle. The VERY company that I had looked at again not too long ago!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">8:28pm - On paper, we are a match made in heaven! Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Plant Forward, Organic (whenever possible), environmentally sustainable, sustainable sourcing, in addition to local sourcing!!! Like, this is ALL me! If I were a company this would pretty much be my description. 😂</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Outside of the food portion, I love what they call their "Community Approach"</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">From their website, this is what they had to say -</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">"<b style="background-color: white;">A Community Approach</b></span></p><div class="section-break-mini" style="background-color: white; border-top: 0.1rem solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 2rem 0px 0px; max-width: 80px; transition: all 0.05s ease-in 0s;"></div><h4 class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px; transition: all 0.05s ease-in 0s;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>Our bottom line is measured not only by profits but also our impact on people and our planet.

If you're new, there is a tab for you. Want to know where your food comes from? There's a tab for that.

There's a tab for that too!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Thistle started on the West Coast, and expanded to the East Coast... but unfortunately forgot about ME - in the middle. The midwest.

Speaking of money (this is the part I like the most!) if for any reason you need to pause, postpone, or stop your subscription - it's not a problem! That is awesome!!! My money absolutely does NOT flow the way I need it to, so having options is a HUGE Plus!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Anyway, back to me saving YOU money!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">You can use the link in this post or use my code <span style="color: #2b00fe;">CWM100 </span>at a later time on their website.

Happy Holidays (or Not) Hello Love Muffins! <div> Long Time no See! Or so that's what it feels like to me! I was supposed to be back a little while ago but ...life! Since the last time I was here, I've added some newness to my life. I have MORE Brands that I'm working with now. I'm not sure if I ever told you all that I was a MAJOR workaholic many years ago. If not, it was bad. I went from never having a job for 18 years to having 3 jobs (simultaneously) by the time I was 20/21 (I think 20). Why is that significant? Because I have a really hard time turning down opportunities when it comes to brand deals (which doesn't work the way you think it does!) <div>Anyway! Let me tell you about these Deals that are going on Right Now! </div><div><br /></div><div>*You know those viral videos of the Moms with the big houses/kitchens refilling the fridge or doing the pantry makeover? 9 times out of 10 those containers and bins are from <a href="https://smart-design.sjv.io/c/3232700/1543814/17028" target="_blank">Smart Design</a>!</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, if you're trying to get organized before your Holiday Guests arrive; you can Build Your Own Bundle for All areas of your Home!

I for the life of me can not remember how I heard about Kate Farms but I LOVE them SO MUCH! I have tried almost every Protein Powder, drink, whatever - and I can't do it! I don't think I got these as a source of protein but they (the nutrition shakes) became the base for my smoothies. I LOVE them so much that they reached out to me to work with them. Yup! I'm a Super Fan! Anyway, they have so many different shakes for so many different conditions. I LOVE that about them! They are openly trying to help people, instead of it being a company that you hear of only from a Nutritionist. They also take insurance!!!!! Whether it's Tube Feeding, Peptides, Glucose Support, Renal Support, Kids' Nutrition, or Everyday Nutrition - they have it!</div><div><br /></div><div>They also have - </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivdYFctOJ6nUUxHe01JOMk4b8gp57kBLk4rcyeSlbYmG2XVdWC2tKGpWfTn1WvrU7BmdqDsfdrM4sL8B7fBq7mKG6lVCvVMVKefC0uT-6KaIvdfPBzMI6VERyJsSgQU2vrGjuZuGBkaJhplkCdomiWNmUuJcTFfmpLzjrNvyLcGU2SEnui7paABcJjnA/s1036/Screenshot_2022-12-06-20-28-59-67_e307a3f9df9f380ebaf106e1dc980bb6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1021" data-original-width="1036" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivdYFctOJ6nUUxHe01JOMk4b8gp57kBLk4rcyeSlbYmG2XVdWC2tKGpWfTn1WvrU7BmdqDsfdrM4sL8B7fBq7mKG6lVCvVMVKefC0uT-6KaIvdfPBzMI6VERyJsSgQU2vrGjuZuGBkaJhplkCdomiWNmUuJcTFfmpLzjrNvyLcGU2SEnui7paABcJjnA/s320/Screenshot_2022-12-06-20-28-59-67_e307a3f9df9f380ebaf106e1dc980bb6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">20% OFF 1st Subscription & 10% OFF ALL Recurring Shipments - Use Code HOLIDAYS</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://kate-farms.pxf.io/CWM41" target="_blank">kate-farms.pxf.io/CWM41</a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">EpiLynx:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Allergy-Free Christmas?

Hello! I miss you guys! It has been so much going on! I have been trying to figure out what to do with this blog, and how to approach it. I definitely don't want to shut it down forever (I have to admit, at one point, I was beyond tempted!)<span> </span></p><p><span>So, the reason why I'm here is actually related to my last post, which was WAY back in MARCH!!! I have seriously been in withdrawal! I haven't had a Kate Farms Nutrition Shake in FOREVER (or so that's how it feels). Why you ask? Money! (I keep it real on ALL of my platforms! I never want anyone to think my/our situation is better than it seems; I never want anyone to think that I'm dwelling on our shortcomings for attention or sympathy! Absolutely NOT!)</span></p><p><span>Anyway, I was blessed enough to be able to get more & I am ridiculously excited & happy! My only issue is what am I going to do next month (in a couple weeks) when I have my surgery. The logical answer is for me to be a responsible adult & save the 11 I have left. Therefore being able to have smoothies during my recovery. My willpower on the other hand...👀 (we'll see!)</span></p><p>For more info on the company, I will link my previous <a href="https://cookinwithmommy.blogspot.com/2022/03/kate-farms-vanilla-nutritional-shake.html" target="_blank">post</a>, I also mention it in the linked <a href="https://youtu.be/Y2Bg8pR_ixc" target="_blank">video</a>. </p><p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<p>*Kate Farms offers shakes and formulas for kids and adults that taste good and can also be fed by a feeding tube. They have a wide variety of products that may help support the nutritional needs of those with gastrointestinal issues, food allergies, weight gain or maintenance issues, and other conditions like diabetes or during dialysis. Kate Farms also provides a meal replacement nutrition shake for overall health and maintenance. (you can find this information and more on their website)</p>

<p>Very similar to the mushroom coffee, I saw an ad; with this particular company I shared the ad on my story (Instagram) and they reached out to me. I will have to say I/we had SO MANY issues in the beginning, I truly was less than 2 secs from giving up. I tend to have what I call “the rule of 3” - if you try 3xs and it doesn’t happen after those 3xs, whatever the situation is, it’s usually not meant to happen. I had already hit that 3rd time, not necessarily with the company I was working with but with the company, I had to go through to partner with them. I am SO glad that I tried ONE more time!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>*Sidenote - I’ve tried a ridiculous amount of protein powders, shakes, drinks, etc. in the past when I was on my extreme health, fitness, workout kick. All of these things are fine… in MODERATION! There is such a thing as too much. I reached a point where I couldn’t look at another “protein drink” whether powder or liquid. I gave everything I had left away years ago.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>(back to business)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I really hope whoever works in their marketing dept. Is getting paid well. They were able to reel me back in! Even though it’s not a “protein shake” I didn’t want anything that even slightly resembled one.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Every claim that the company made was true! I have so many GI issues. Thank goodness it seriously does NOT make me bloat, my stomach hurt, my headache, or any of my other regular issues with food (even if the said food claims to be “healthy” or allergy-free). I know it sounds weird but it’s weird to me to actually eat or drink something and not experience pain and/or discomfort in some way shape or form. I’m so used to the pain and discomfort, that, that is my “normal”</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 1st day I tried this was on the 13th, in the afternoon. I used the frozen prepackaged, pre-proportioned fruit from the store. I’m going to be super transparent and say that I had always planned to make smoothies out of the drinks, just in case I didn’t like them. On the contrary! I think I like them too much! 😂 I thought I was going to be cold when I woke up this morning so I intended to drink my mushroom coffee (to keep me warm). I was actually SUPER HOT! I had already planned to drink a smoothie today (because I’m obsessed) so it worked out anyway. It was way too hot to have coffee and/or food. (I can only speak for myself, I LOVE it when it’s hot but… I don’t know if there’s anyone else like me but when it’s too hot smoothies are the only way to go!)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>On another note, I’m so glad that these shakes have pretty much the same vitamins and minerals that my multi-vitamins had because I’m no longer taking the pills so I’m still able to get the nutrients in this way. It’s not every day, unfortunately, but something is better than nothing!</p>

<p> I've had so many things going on lately that I was unable to finish this post the way I wanted to. In the meantime I‘ve had I don't know how many more smoothies. I love this stuff!!! I think even if I didn't have GI issues I would still buy and drink this. I honestly didn't think I would like it this much.</p>

<p>Medical issues or not, I highly recommend this! (and NOT because I partnered with them).</p>

I will update you guys as well. Yes, I have officially lost my mind and I'm bringing back both blogs. Of course this is one is predominantly food, so you guys know what it is.

#CookingWithMommy<br />#Dinner was really good! I asked on a poll, what should I make? #HotWings or #ChickenFried #Cauliflower. The vote went to hot wings but The Lil Chef chose something different to eat for dinner so I made the chicken fried cauliflower for myself. I questioned on one of my blog posts... "Can you make #CauliflowerBites with or from frozen cauliflower? Well the answer is, YES! I had leftovers from my last cauliflower adventure and I froze it. The #MashedPotatoes & #Corn were also frozen. I let the cauliflower semi-thaw so it would hold its shape and tada. I'm not used to using eggs to batter things but after the last time, it needs it. I got my #FriedChicken fix without having to be bothered with the chicken .<br />It's time for me to make new chicken batter so there's a distinct possibility that they will not taste the same the next time. (not in a bad way though)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I ate before 6pm, the ☀ is shining, and the food was good (as always). Today was a good day and I finished my #Spring project. </div>

Long time, no see. Life has been crazy, well is crazy right now. I've decided to create another blog on a different platform. I didn't quite like where this one was going. This blog had become very frustrating for me. I was stressing myself out, expecting too much of myself, and was disappointed everytime I turned around. I was definitely comparing myself to others (bloggers). The new blog is less stress (Hopefully. That's the point.) I will be writing about any and everything, not just food.<br />
I hope one day I will learn enough to come back and make this blog what it was intended to be. You guys have been great!

Rant <div dir="ltr">
Hello! How are you guys?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
As we all know I just really decided to try to come back to blogging. This was not an easy decision for me. Am I full on headfirst into it like many others? No. Life is happening now and I'm still trying to ease my way back and/or deciding if this is right for me. Either way, this is the deal. When I stopped completely and gave up, I was surprised to see that SO MANY people were visiting my site. Now that I am "back" my numbers have dropped drastically. What in the Sam Houston is going on? That question is kinda sorta rhetorical. And, yes, I know you need to have thick skin "in this business" but it's discouraging as hell. I know I need to focus and find a direction but wow! Some parts of me want to completely start over on another platform. Another part of me feels like what's the point. You would think it would be easy to sit at home and type... No!<br />This was a dream of mine/ours and now, I don't know. I find myself predominantly on Instagram. It is 10xs easier for me to upload my food content, say what I need to and share it to all of my other social media sites.<br />There's so much I want to share with you guys but the only way for me to do that is through my computer which doesn't really work. I truly wish the Blogger App was easier to use. <br />I guess my rant is over. I'm sad, I really don't know what to do. <br />I'm recovering from my biopsy, The Lil Chef is going through so much and I'm too emotionally exhausted to keep up. I'm disappointed with myself, I don't understand why I can't do this. This should be easy, right? This is something I actually wanted to do. Maybe this isn't for me. <br />I'm so sorry for ranting but I needed to get it out.</div>

I decided to try baking the eggrolls this time because frying them turned into a burnt disaster! Again, I know what I did wrong this time as well. Were these a disaster? No, but there was a ton of room for improvement. I followed the recipe for the filling last time (which I will not do again). The recipe is fine, it just didn't work for me. I used all of the ingredients that they said I needed but I put them together my own way. I did not measure, just to taste. In addition to baked egg rolls, we had Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry (I added shrimp to it, for me). First, I doubled the sauce because I thought the noodles would have soaked up the extra liquid, especially because I had twice what the recipe called for. Secondly, The Lil Chef overcooked the noodles (no worries, she is still learning). It's ok because I LOVE extra sauce on almost everything! And, the stir-fry turned out really really good. When I make it again, I'll still double the sauce but only add the "normal" amount and then add extra if I/we need it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am going to put egg rolls back on the menu for next month. The problem is that I put entirely too much filling in the middle of the wrappers. I am going to try again with the lasagna wrappers, the spring roll wrappers, baking, and frying. I am determined to get this right! The taste is on point, the method, not so much. I can do this!</div>

This was my first time using the Brandless Olive Oil Cooking Spray. It is forceful coming out of the nozzle, that totally threw me off guard. Hopefully, I will know better the next time, how to control it. So far so good, of course. I haven't used cooking spray for so long, I can't remember what to use it for. (lol)</div>

I think my next big project will be chicken fried cauliflower bites. I've made them several times (but, that's when I was on a blog hiatus). The challenge this time is that I had so much raw cauliflower leftover, I cut it up and put it in the freezer. The question is..... Can I fry it from frozen with the coating/batter on it? Do I let it unthaw completely, then try to fry it? Do I let it semi-thaw then batter it, then fry it? Ugh! so many variables! I will try them all and see what happens lol! I will try my best to bring you guys along for the ride. Sometimes things get crazy and pictures aren't an option.</div>

These pancakes, seriously, are phenomenal! Now, I've had other pancakes that were "good" but the next day they were horrible! The Lil chef warmed her leftovers up the next day and they were still great. I just warmed up my last one today from the weekend and ... guess what? It was still great! Then the Brandless maple syrup mixed with the pancakes, I have no words! Needless to say, we will be having pancakes this weekend as well. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Unfortunately, I am unable to upload the pictures. I will have to show you guys the pics from this coming weekend. I'm debating whether or not to make them on the griddle or in the frying pan. The taste is definitely different depending on how you make them or what you use to make them. We'll see!<br />
<br />
I've had nothing but positive experiences so far with Brandless so we are REALLY excited to taste the Blueberry Muffins and Brownies. That will be a completely different post, of course.<br />
<br />
The next post will be the update on our "Asian Night"<br />
<br />
I officially recommend the Gluten Free Pancake/ Waffle mix.<br />

I actually don't know where the exact problem was because... I made an egg roll in a spring wrapper before and it worked. There are a few things that I feel like I could have done differently but it's too late now. We're going to try again tomorrow but we're baking them! You live and you learn. Please don't be discouraged. Homemade egg rolls are the best. We made a fairly large batch in January, I believe and they were great! That time I used Rp Pasta's (they've recently changed their name to Taste Republic) lasagna sheets. I got that hack from Pinterest. If I EVER try that again, I might roll it out a little thinner and wider. I'm not giving up on my Egg rolls yet! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'll be back with updates tomorrow on the 🥞, (I'm too tired to get into the details right now.

<p dir="ltr">I'm trying to put my foot in the door 🚪 . I'm trying to ease back into this "blogger situation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I will start with a Company that is new to me. (This blog post like ALL the others are NOT sponsored... Though that would be nice. 😏) I saw the ad for this company several times on various social media sites and really never paid it any attention... Because I don't care for ads.<br>
The ad that caught my attention included the fact that for every however much they donate a meal 🍴. I personally like companies that care about the world 🗺, whether it's recycling ♻ (that's a huge plus ➕ for me), donating food 🍲, water, clothes, etc. Another big plus for me was the fact that everything is Organic. I do not on any level agree with GMOs. In addition to those awesome stats...... (which took me forever to believe) EVERYTHING IS ONLY $3!!!! Please tell me where are you going to find organic products for $3?!<br>
It took about a month for me to save up. I purchased 27 items, including :<br>
2 Daily Digestive & Immune Biotic <br>
2 Gluten Free Pancake and Waffle mix<br>
2 Green Tea & Aloe Body Lotion <br>
Organic Non Aerosol Olive Oil Spray <br>
TREE FREE Facial Tissue Cube 2pk <br>
Summer Breeze Toilet Bowl Cleaner <br>
Organic Blueberry Flax Instant Oatmeal<br>
Organic Maple Instant Oatmeal <br>
Organic Popcorn Olive Oil & Seeds Salt <br>
Organic Maple Syrup <br>
Organic Agave <br>
Organic Mayonnaise <br>
Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin Mix <br>
Daily Facial Moisturizer - Gluten Free <br>
Organic Cotton Balls - 100ct <br>
Women's Multi Vitamins - Gluten free <br>
Calm and Support pills <br>
Organic Cotton Tampons - 10ct <br>
9" Silicone Baking Tongs <br>
Gluten Free Brownie Baking Mix <br>
Roasted and Salted Cashews <br>
Green Tea & Aloe Body Wash <br>
TREE FREE Bath Tissue 2ply 6pk<br>
Unscented Body Lotion </p>
<p dir="ltr">I know that was alot but several things are really important to me. Supplements without a ton of garbage in them are hard to find. Of course you don't get 100 pills for $3 but what do expect? The multi vitamins are 30ct, all the others are 14ct. The fact that they have TREE LESS products sold me. I never thought about Non GMO toilet cleaner. The lotion and body wash are way bigger than I expected. That was a good thing! We all know that maple syrup and gluten free products are stupid expensive and they're only $3...wow!</p>
<p dir="ltr">We are trying out the gluten free Pancake and waffle mix today. We've tried the maple syrup and that's freaking amazing! I've tried the cashews, unscented body lotion, facial moisturizer, toilet bowl cleaner (I super love that), the blueberry instant oatmeal is super good, the maple instant oatmeal isn't bad but I will buy it again. I'm not sure about the immune biotic yet (I've only taken 2, I think). I'm taking the vitamins everyday - I never know one way or the other with vitamins (my body is weird). </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm super excited about the "Home Products", they have pens🖋 , pencils ✏, journals, markers, the list goes on. I love those things! </p>
<p dir="ltr">Oh yeah the membership is $36/year (which took me a minute to figure out - sad 😔 - that it's $3/month) <br>
I do plan to get the membership when I can afford it. It's free shipping with the membership. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Long story short, I'm happy so far. I do definitely recommend this company. <br>
<a href="http://www.brandless.com">www.brandless.com</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">I will be back with an update on the 🥞! </p>
<p dir="ltr">I hope you guys have an awesome weekend! </p>

How are you guys?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">I took a break, a really long break away form my blog because I got majorly discouraged. Life was happening, the blog wasn't going in the direction I thought it would, and I have to admit it was a little more complicated and difficult than I imagined. Someone contacted me recently who had visited my site. I had no idea anyone still came to visit. She and a few others recently suggested that I not give up. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I'm just not sure what to do with this. I spend the majority of my time on Instagram and Facebook (on CookingWithMommy - of course). </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">*Should I make it more "blog-like"?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">*Should I keep doing what I was doing before?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">(*I'm actually thinking about updating some of the recipes that I've done before. So many things have changed.)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">*Should I catch you guys up? Or should I start over from scratch?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">*Should I switch from blogger and put the blog on a different platform/blog site? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">*Should I use this blog as an outlet for all of the stressful things that are going on right now?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Life is still very complicate right now but I guess I could post something here or there occasionally. Decisions decisions! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Oh, yea I forgot! I was actually invited back to the GFAF Expo that I went to last year. On one hand, I was like woooow! I can't believe they wanted me to come back! I was very happy. On the other hand, I felt really bad because I had given up on the blog not too long after the Expo last year. I think that's when I started to get super discouraged. The expo didn't go the way I expected it to. We had a ton of fun!!! (I need to lighten up a little because it was my first expo and my first as a blogger so I had a lot to learn.) </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I plan to go to more expos, not sure as a official blogger or just a "regular" person. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Enough rambling! I have some life decisions to make.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">If you have been to my site before, THANK YOU! If you are new... I hope there is something you find interesting or helpful.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I know people don't usually respond when I ask questions but if anyone has any suggestions feel free to let me know.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Goodnight People, we'll meet again!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">CookingWithMommy</span><br />

I started this post on 3/8/17 and I started by saying "I decided to click on the "nutrition button" on my MyFitnessPal App and found out that I am so far away from my required amount of protein it's not funny. I've revised my "diet" so many times! Obviously this is a never ending task."</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It's currently 5/12/17 and I am still having issues. I'm trying to add more protein but this has been a very difficult task! Yes! I know what protein sources are available, this is the problem with that... Protein powders usually tend to be sweet and I am not a "Sweets" person, it hard to get that in. Meat, ugh, I eat SOME meat but I try not to eat a ton of meat. Obviously the turkey, chicken and occasional bacon is not enough! Now that I'm paying attention to the amount of protein in the things that I buy but it's like nothing has protein in it or not enough! Beans, don't get me started. Ok, I'm going to get started. I do not oppose beans, I like black and red beans. I like hummus, I like baked beans. I cannot eat beans or I'm not supposed to due to my candida overgrowth. I tend to have major reactions when I eat them. Not all seeds and grains agree with me either.<br />
I'm trying, really trying but this is SOOO much more difficult than I expected. I am going to continue to try find a solution to my issue.<br />
<br />
I do have a carb addiction and I can admit that. Baby steps, one step at a time.</div>

I just found out about a Gluten Free Expo online on Instagram. Of course, this month's theme is for Celiac Disease Awareness. If you are new to the Gluten Free Thing and/or looking for brands outside of your norm then check out <a href="http://www.glutenawayexpo.com/">http://www.glutenawayexpo.com/</a><br />
This Expo pretty much has all of the same sponsors as all the "regular" Expos. Maybe you want to browse the website to see if you want to attend an actual Expo. <br />

<span style="color: purple;"><b>When I started this post several weeks ago, I was going to try the traditional and vegan versions of Homemade Mayo. The Salad Dressing (like mayonnaise) that I have been using for I can't tell you how many years has changed their formula and now I absolutely HATE it! I am a sandwich freak so this is not a good thing and NO salad dressing, mayo, and mayonnaise are not the same thing and they are not created equally. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><b>I am no longer going to try the traditional version of this recipe. I am technically allergic to eggs but in certain situations, I can tolerate them. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><b>I tried Chosen Foods Mayo made with Avocado oil. The Mayo was organic, gluten free, soy free, cage free eggs, etc. Healthy. I barely took a taste and was sick for the entire day. When I do have a reaction to eggs it's violent. I had to take it back. I suppose the normal kind that I get is so processed, it's not enough pure eggs in it to make me sick. Who knows!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><b>I will still do a clean revision and someone feel free to make it. It would be great for you to tell me how it turned out. I am going to stick to the vegan version and hope that it turns out great! In the meantime I have one last idea, I'm going to try the salad dressing/mayonnaise made with olive oil. My sister said it wasn't bad so we'll see! </b></span><br />

Place soy milk, sea salt, ground mustard, garlic powder, vinegar and agave in a blender. Place the lid on the blender and turn to slow.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: adelle, Adelle, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-top: 2rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Take the middle part of the blender’s lid out while the blender is still running and slowly pour in the canola oil.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: adelle, Adelle, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-top: 2rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Place the lid back on and blend until the mayo is thick and creamy.</div>

<em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Notes:</em></div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: adelle, Adelle, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 28px; list-style-position: outside; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem 1.1rem; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">This recipe is awesome as is or you can use it as a base and add whatever flavor you like. More garlic (maybe minced and sautéed in a little canola oil before you add it), sriracha, wasabi, chives, dill, sun-dried tomato, let your imagine run wild and have fun.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I suggest using organic canola oil because any canola that isn’t organic has likely been Genetically Modified.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">You can double this recipe for a bigger batch if need be.</li>

<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple;">Like I've stated in other social media posts and on the blog, The Lil Chef and I had a WONDERFUL time! I took so many pictures and talked to so many people I decided to put my entire experience on my blog instead of posting "500 pictures" to Instagram. (I will try to remember everyone I spoke to.) Now, I understand why other Bloggers post during the event!</span> 😊<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">We made it! We stayed at the Comfort Inn in Arlington Hts., IL. It was a pretty decent room, I get Choice Rewards for staying there and it was less than 10 mins from the GFAF Expo. It was a win. I had to borrow a little money to stay there but it was what it was. I'd stay again.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">Day 1: <a href="https://us.bfreefoods.com/">BFreeFoods</a> was our Sponsor for the Expo. I want to thank them so much!

<a href="http://www.sweetalis.com/">Sweet Ali's</a><span style="color: purple;"> is a dedicated Gluten/Allergy Free Bakery in Hinsdale, IL and they are THE BEST! I really wish Northeast Ohio had something similar. The Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes were to die for!!!! Their theme is so cute, the staff was great and their products were even better! If I didn't know, you never could have told me that those cupcakes were gluten or dairy free. </span></div>

<span style="color: purple;">I saw Wheat's End Artisan Foods the 1st day of the Expo but it was so crowded I couldn't get to it. Finally, I made the 2nd day and it was worth it! The English Muffins, Bagels and "Special Blogger Sourdough Bread" was Great! I seriously liked the texture of all of the products I tried. One of these days I will visit their Gluten Free Cafe in Chicago!</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span> <span style="color: purple;">This company caught me off guard. I accidentally found them, I was trying to get to another booth and got caught in "traffic". I saw the samples, almost didn't know what it was, tried it anyway and wow that was good! They were donuts but they were plain, no glaze, no sugar, no extras. That's how you know something is good is when there are no extras and it doesn't need it.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span> <span style="color: purple;"><br /></span> <span style="color: purple;">I didn't visit Flax4Life until the 2nd day of the Expo because I was skeptical. I didn't doubt the taste, I was worried how my body would react. I've flax in the past and I've always had a reaction. I took a leap of faith and I was pleasantly surprised! I would definitely buy these now that I've tried them and I didn't have a reaction.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span> <span style="color: purple;">Now, whoa! Let's pause on this company! I'm not a "Sweets" person but I actually broke down and spent some money I didn't have and bought 2 boxes! These are AMAZING!!! I bought the Coconut Macaroons and The Almond Horns, these remind me of my childhood. I feel like that's saying something because "Gluten Free" wasn't necessarily an issue 30 years ago. I personally do not feel that the cookies have a "Gluten Free" taste, feel or after taste to them. These are on the top 10 list of recommendations! You still have time to receive a $1.00 off online!

Quinoa is another one of those healthy/gluten free/super foods that I tend to have some type of reaction to. It makes me a little woozy on its own, I can mix it with Brown Rice and be ok. I tasted this and no reactions. It's like instant oatmeal, savory instant oatmeal. I would buy it for a quick side dish.</span><br />

My daughter and I both did the balance demonstration, which had shocking results. Once my Fibromyalgia really set in years ago, I've been off balance ever since. I tested myself in the hotel the next day and it worked again, maybe not exactly how it did at the expo but enough for me to be convinced. I've had the bracelet on for 6 days and my Chronic Fatigue has not been as bad at all. TMI but the pain from my cramps were reduced and that's usually a real problem (I didn't actually know it was supposed to help with that until after I noticed I wasn't in pain. I went back and looked it up and saw that that was one of the issues it was supposed to help with)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">This was more money I didn't have but I thought it was worth a try. So far so good. I don't see it curing any of my ailments but any relief is better than none!</span><br />

Fresh Thyme has a ton of the products at the Expo which is a really good thing! I was not aware until the Expo that they have their own line of GF products! Score for Fresh Thyme! I was also impressed that they had a dietician on hand to answer any Allergy Free questions.</span><br />

I've been familiar with GoVeggie for years! I tried them when I was first transitioning to AF and it was not so good. I revisited them a few years later and we were hooked on the lactose-free American Cheese slices until I started having issues. (I found out I can not have dairy of any sort), we tried the vegan version again and NO! We switched to another company, which we currently use. I was hesitant about trying them again. My daughter convinced me to go over to their table and try the new vegan flavor. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. If I can find this in the store I will purchase it. I am willing to give GoVeggie another chance. We'll see what happens. </span><br />

I wasn't knocking people down for this one at first. Look at her smile and personality, she got me! I agreed to try it but saw there was dairy involved and started to leave. The staff quickly assured me they had a dairy free version. I didn't know what to expect, I'm not a huge pepper person. I tried the Cranberry Pepper Jam (I'm not sure I'm saying that right) but surprisingly I didn't dislike it. What caught me off guard more than that was that I would actually eat it again if someone had it at a party/get together.</span><br />

Juice Plus+ had a variety of whole food supplements but I was more interested in the vertical Gardening System that they have (unfortunately I do not have a picture of it, The Lil Chef is standing in front of it lol)</span><br />

I didn't really get into their other products because they have soy protein which (technically, I'm allergic to soy. I try not to consume just straight soy if I can help it) Now when I tasted these wonderful savory chickpea protein snacks, I literally wanted to eat them all!!! these are super good and right up my alley. I am looking for sources of protein and I think I found it!</span><br />

This is a really cool idea, this is for the kids who can't eat anything at their "normal" friend's house. You bring the Buddy Cakes kit with you mix it up, put it in the microwave and tada your own little cakes/cupcakes and you can still feel like you're part of the group! The best part is, it's like completely allergy free!</span><br />

I'm not a huge fan of Kettle Chips but these were really good! (especially because the little one liked them!) Kettle Chips are usually too crunchy for me (and I love "crunchy" stuff) with not enough salt or taste or way over seasoned. These chips are even keel, nice texture and taste.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">I was SO proud to meet these ladies!!! I've been thinking about this idea since the little one and I started going to our local food pantry. Not many people donate allergy food, maybe because it's expensive or they simply aren't thinking about the fact that there are people in need with food allergies/intolerances. If you are in IL Please try to donate to them and help people with "food issues" out. Also to anyone else reading this, the next time you donate food, PLEASE try to donate some type of allergy free food! </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">OHIO PLEASE look into opening something similar!</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span> <span style="color: purple;"><br /></span> <span style="color: purple;">Again, all about that natural! This company is cool because not only is it all allergy free, they are supplements that melt in your mouth. This product is good for people or kids like the little one who can't swallow pills. Melts or easily soluble pills get into your system faster and there aren't any unnecessary ingredients for your body to digest.</span><br />

I tasted some other kinds of pasta at the Expo and they were good as well, I'm sold!</span><br />

This is like healthy gut heaven, seriously!!! </span><br />

More females "seem" to have Celiacs, Gluten Intolerance, Gluten Sensitivities, allergies, etc. I think there are more men out here suffering than we think and they are either not speaking up or not being properly diagnosed. </span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">I was overjoyed to see an African American Gluten Free Company. It is another stereotype type that African Americans do not suffer from these type of conditions. I believe like, with men, it's not properly diagnosed or openly talked about. Her products were very good and also had dairy free options. It would be nice for people to show support. </span><br />

So far so good though! </span><br />

Again, when I get the money I will definitely look into this! I do like Nima (a digital version of this and is coming out with tests for other allergens) but it's a bit costly.</span><br />

For those of you who hung in there and scrolled through all of my pics, ramblings, grammatical errors and so forth, THANK YOU!!!!! I am more than sure I have missed a few people and companies. We had an amazing time, I'm glad my first time was successful. I'm sure I can and need to improve my Blogger skills but this was a good start and training for me. We will attend again!!!!<br />

<span style="color: purple;">Side Note -</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I'm trying something new. I mentioned before I'm a baby blogger, never intended to do the blogging thing "for real" but after my trip to the GFAF Expo, I'm reconsidering that decision. The first step, I wanted to change the theme/layout of the blog. I loved my previous layout, it was really cute but something about it was bugging me. I'm going to test drive this and see how I feel or see if the interaction with the page changes. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
I'm going to spend some time researching "how to have a successful blog". I still intend to be "just me", honest, and funny (to me anyway - lol). I have some major reviews coming up due to the Expo trip but other than that the converting of the recipes remain the same. I was thinking about adding some different content - that's still on the back burner for the time being. I will come back to that...</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="color: purple;">Back to my original post - </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I figured out the problem! After all of these years in pain and suffering, I found out that the major contributor to that anguish is/was my bed!!! So...<br />We know that The Lil Chef and I went to Arlington Hts and Schaumburg IL for the weekend. I was terrified to attempt to attend the Expo mainly because of my health but when I got there I was relatively "fine". Prior to the trip, still at home on Friday the 21st, my hip had gone out, I brought my cane (didn't even touch it, never needed it!), and I was trying to avoid a headache /migraine (my usual). 3 1/2 days in a hotel and my fatigue and pain were reduced. I came home, everything was everything until this morning and now I'm in a ton of pain, feeling like death again! The only common denominator is the bed! Yes, everyone feels better when they get away from home and take a vacation (mini or not). The away from home part helped, yes, but I suffer from insomnia and I had no problem falling asleep, I still had some issues staying asleep (but that's a different issue). I actually felt like a normal person when I woke up, I didn't need to take a nap in the middle of the day! (weird for me) </div>
<div dir="ltr">
I was going to postpone buying a new bed because I found a way to temporarily fix the bed I have. NO!!! a new bed/mattress is back at the top of the list! </div>

I have been stalking the "bed in a box" at Walmart forever and it's been sitting in my shopping cart forever as well! </div>

( This is the actual picture from Walmart.com )<img alt="Slumber 1 - 10'' Dream Pillow Top Mattress" src="https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/dda518a6-b4bf-4721-95e3-46122ce66a0b_1.feacee433d4336501d1b92b8e2329e01.jpeg?odnHeight=450&odnWidth=450&odnBg=FFFFFF" /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The mattress comes in a box like this (I opted not to choose this brand, it costs too much! Money is one thing we do not have!)</div>

Getting out and being in a different place, air and being around other people makes me want to make a few changes. That may not sound like much to other people but change is not so easy for me, depending on the situation. Being an INFJ is not so easy!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I'm going to wrap this rambling up, I'm a little hungry. I was going to make me a smoothie with the Bob's Red Mill Vanilla Protein Powder sample I received at the Expo but I changed my mind I think I will have a sandwich with the Schar multi-grain bread sample I received at the expo. I'm using one of the throat drops from Redd Remedies that I received also at the Expo. My throat is doing something weird so I'm trying it and so far so good! It's clearing up some congestion I didn't know I had! lol</div>

Alright, eat-eat time! TTYL!</div>

Secondly, today was amazing (what a way to celebrate Earth 🌎 Day!) The Lil Chef and I met some really awesome people and tried tons of new products at the Gluten Free Allergen Friendly Expo in Schaumburg, IL <br>
It felt so weird to go some where, outside of home, eat and not get sick. I snacked and tasted and drank and NOT one stomach issue, no migraines, no symptoms! Actually being able to eat with no symptoms was a surreal feeling. I invited my cousin and her daughter (from Indiana) who also has food allergies and we will be attending tomorrow as well. Any chance I get to show someone else, someone new the many options that "food allergy people" have, I'm taking it! I love that these types of events exist! We have options and the majority of them are healthy/good for you.<br>
<br>
Slightly off the food subject for a second. I am in shock that I feel as well as I do. I'm sure all of the healthy supplements and medical devices I tested today really helped. <br>
I have been in tremendous pain leading up to this trip. The chronic pain/illness Gods are on my side! <br>
I am feeling better than I regularly do but I am little too tired to review some of the products that I tried today. After the expo tomorrow I will do another post regarding the products, companies, etc. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you for being patient with me! <br>
