4/21: Gluten Free Biscuit Test

I had this biscuits with my dinner and thought they were quite yummy!

Food Blog + Diary = Food Bloggary

Even though I liked the biscuits I made last night just fine I still found they were not what I had hoped for. Today I experimented, altered a recipe around and came up with these. They have a great texture but I think I added a little too much flour so they are on the blander side. I definitely will figure this out… just be patient with me! Once topped with butter and jam they were great! I had some coffee and cream to help get me through the rest of my day!

4/20 Dessert

Turtle ice cream and pistachio ice cream with whipped cream.

4/20 Dinner

Gluten free biscuits with butter and jam, hash browns, sausage gravy, scrambled eggs. I’m not bothering with the calorie listing right now… Obviously I’m already way over for the day.

4/20 Afternoon Snack

Coffee and Lemon Meringue Pie (360 calories).

This is why I haven’t been able to drop below 195 pounds (which is what I currently weigh). If it wasn’t for the fact I have a very physical job, I’m certain I would weigh more. Can you see how allowing myself the freedom to eat wheat impacts the calories as well? If I go back through everything I’ve eaten over the past few days, actually being gluten free would have been so much better. It helps me make better choices AND I noticed today, that I’ve eaten so much wheat that my body is beginning to hurt again. Eliminating wheat also eliminated 14 years of chronic unexplained throbbing physical pain.

4/20 Lunch

Roast beef sandwich with cheese, onions, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, mayo and mustard on rye bread (500 plus calories).

4/20 Morning Snack

One chocolate cake donut (250 calories) with 1 cup vitamin D milk (160 calories). For some reason I’ve been really craving whole milk.

I wish I could tell you the fried chicken thigh (25o calories) and cheese puffs (130 calories) were lunch but they weren’t! Having to look at all my gluttony is really depressing!

4/20 Breakfast

Turkey bacon (40 calories), 2 egg whites (30 calories), granola with milk (230 calories).

4/19 Dinner

I ate the two hot dogs on wheat buns (520 calories) before I took a photo. I feel like I’ve slid into the gluttony abyss.

4/19 Afternoon Snack

Yes, right after I ate the chicken I ate two fabulous gluten free Vanilla Chai Donuts, made by my daughter “Is This Good For Me?”. Seriously, these were some of the best “donuts”, I’ve ever eaten!!

4/19 Lunch

Skipped my morning snack and went for a healthy lunch. The menu board read Mango Shrimp, which I ordered with a 1/2 cup rice and green beans. ALL LIES. I was given four crummy shrimp doused in a curry sauce that was so unpleasantly hot it ruined the rice. I ended up eating the shrimp (25 calories) and green beans (50 calories) while discarding the rice. Don’t get me wrong, I like curry but my mouth was expecting something milder and sweeter with a little mango… Major disappointment!! Can you guess what I did after work on the way home?

One fried chicken breast and 2 fried chicken wings (600 calories).
