Tenacious Life

Since becoming pregnant my energy level has dwindled a bit, so making meals from scratch just hasn’t been as much of a priority.

Thats why I really love this Kodiak pancake mix. It’s not (if you know you know) because the ingredients aren’t organic, but it has minimal ingredients. So, if you’re not wanting to whip up pancakes from scratch I think it’s a great alternative with little sugar (at least in comparison,) minimal ingredients, and high protein.

I didn’t have any fresh berries, so I heated up about a cup or more of frozen berries, in a saucepan over medium heat, with a tablespoon of chia seeds; while the pancakes were cooking.

Topped pancakes with berries, a little maple syrup, and almonds. YUM!

I took a food sensitivity test a few weeks ago.

According to it I’m sensitive to gluten, dairy, apples, soy, salmon, caramel color, and xantham gum.

So I ran to Whole Foods looking for some gluten free snacks and dairy free items.

Particular on the hunt for my favorite dairy products, but a dairy free version.

While there I found Almond MALK (almond milk without the huge list of additives.)

And some dairy free cream cheese and whipped cream.

And I found some purely Elizabeth products I can’t find at my usual shopping location.

I’m not saying I agree with the food sensitivity test, but I do believe in having an open mind.

And so I’m willing to try, at the very least, reducing the items that I’m supposedly sensitive to and seeing if it helps my health.

Particularly in the area of inflammation and brain fog.

Do you have any food sensitivities? What symptoms do you have?
