It came out AMAZING. I'm going to use this is sandwiches every day until it is gone!
I had another one after breakfast too! This stuff really gets your colon rollin'! and gives me so much energy!
I made french toast this morning for my uncle, and Scott who is still sleeping! Maybe he'll have some when he wakes up!
I didn't have any french toast. I was far more interested in making a breakfast with my pumpkin butter!
I used the new bread I got from the very generous
Emily at
French Meadow Bakery 
This bread was so hearty and delicious! I feel good getting back into the whole grains. Not the super protein, super fiber, processed bread. I would much rather put unprocessed things into my body! This isn't to say that I won't have the other stuff at all.
See I realized that when I say "I don't want to buy something," or "I don't keep something in my house," or "I don't like something." It doesn't mean that I will never buy it, never eat it, or never talk about it ever! I just mean I don't want it now.
My mom and I would get into misunderstandings, not too long ago, she would think that simply because I didn't like something right now, or didn't want to but it at the store, that it meant I would NEVER eat it again. That I would be missing out on vital nutrients. She was concerned out of love for me. I want to reassure you that I have a certain preference of foods and how I eat. Yet I go through changes often. I generally try to eat unprocessed and from the earth. But I also eat intuitively, letting myself eat what I want when I want it, not to feel deprived. It is important now to use definite statements with people around or regarding food. especially if it is something that they have struggled with in the past. Be respectful of people and support where they are in that point in their life with food. It may not be forever. Also, someone is only going to make a change in their life if they are willing. Pushing them or degrading something they do will only make the process towards health longer!
I am really proud of myself for cutting back on my fiber intake. Although I never abused or used laxitives. I did abuse added fiber. This has been a difficult things for me through my ED. I would eat fiber tablets, eat unlimited quantities of high fiber foods (thinking that they would pass quickly!). I even drank coffee for a while because I liked that it made me go to the bathroom. I bought high fiber bread, added wheat bran and flax to EVERYTHING. This made me extremely bloated, and it made it difficult to engage in daily tasks because my stomach was so uncomfortable, I was extreemly gassy and smelly (the gass pains were intense too), and I was always running to the bathroom. Although I still support these products for people that benefit from them, I no longer use peoducts with added unnaturally occurring fiber in them in my daily eats. I feel a lot better mentally and physically from this.
Back to breakfast!
2 slices of that wonderful toast (I'll do a review to come).
With about 1c or a little more of the fantastic pumpkin butter (on the toast and in the jar)!
