Day 38 Easter Monday

I spent the first part of the Easter break at mother in law. I overate home cooked SCD meals as I had a feeling I would be overwhelmed by Easter egg offerings.
The Easter bunny didn't put a spell on me this year. I have been generally overworked and stressed out trying to fit in everything before heading to the Light Fair in Germany as well as a business trip to Singapore.
In all that there's been wedding planning, my dear father visiting and my sister finally having the cutest princess ever.
I've packed a picnic bag of bare bone food essentials for my overseas business trips and look forward to checking out German health food cafes and stores.
Easter Sunday was spent with my mother and we had a wonderful fresh food meal from health cafe 'About life' in bondi junction. I can't wait to make an organic apple stew!

Day 28

I haven't been too well and generally overworked for the past few days.
I didn't do the food shop for the week and strange items were cropping up in the fridge. I'll be going back to my organic grocer this evening and ready to make new recipes.
The pot of SCD yoghurt has served well in terms of morning
breakfasts with fruit and a sprinkle of almond meal.
The key to SCD is undoubtedly being prepared and taking control of what
you eat.

Banana, Passionfruit, SCD home-made yoghurt, sprinkled with ground almonds

Day 23 weekend

Today was spent enjoying the fruits of yesterday's labour. An almond Cookie and beetroot juice for breakfast and off to a yoga session. On the way I picked up a brilliant juicer and a donut machine from my neighbours garage sale for $25. Thought the juicer would be great for my mum and my sister would enjoy the doughnut machine as she has a baby on the way and may enjoy some entertaining.
I'm very excited that I got the thermometer working and now have my first pot of thick and creamy SCD home made yoghurt. Tomorrow I will enjoy a banana and yoghurt breakfast.
Off to do some work before the working week...
The trick to yoghurt is a thermometer, good commercial yoghurt and a yoghurt machine.
