In my quest to a healthy lifestyle, there are things that have not changed. I love to cook and I love good tasting food. I have tweaked my recipes and substituted ingredients with more healthy ones. I love to use Greek Yogurt in place of Sour Cream in dips, I am now using Stone ground Whole Wheat Flour, and I love Spicy Mustard on Sandwiches and no Mayo!!! Today I discovered Agave Nectar, yum!! Tonight I made Oven Fried Chicken Steak with Sausage Gravy, it was so good and only 300 Calories. With mashed Cauliflower and baked sweet potato it was a perfect dinner!! For dessert, yes dessert!! I made Strawberry Shortcake with Sugar free Angel Food Cake, Fresh sliced strawberries sweetened with Agave Nectar topped with Sugar free cool whip. At 115 calories it was even sweeter!!
Dennis is liking the changes. I must say it makes life easier when he is ok with whats for Dinner. I have a recipe for Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies made with White Kidney Beans and Brownies with Black Beans, I think those ingredients I will keep secret. I have added a link to my Chicken Fried Steak recipe. Try it it was very good!!

Last week I said that Dennis was taking Aloe Vera juice and enzymes for Gluten digestion, well it is working! He is feeling better in a week!! Almost immediately the Digestion Support capsules went to work! He has not complained about stomach upset and has no more Gluten issues. He said that the Aloe Vera juice is really helping with the Ulcers. He hasn't taken Omeprazole in a week. That is his Acid reflux medicine. He is doing better!! Much better!!! He has added Magnesium to the mix. I am just so happy that he is feeling better. Maybe I can get him to do a 5K with me soon.
The weather is nice and nothing makes you feel better that to keep moving!!
