So after our Candida diet, We spent a week down south and we weren't horrible...all the way...but ate lots of normal food even bread.  I have twice the milk that I had before.  Kind of feel bad for Tehya, wondering if she got enough fat.  She's so tiny. Strong and Healthy but tiny.

Shiitake Mushroom/Asparagus and a Self Serve Tuna Lunch

I marinated shitake mushrooms in a homemade teriyaki sauce for 2 days then cooked them with asparagus with a little Tamari.  BOMB!  Served with plain quinoa!

Boil water, set to the side and Soak mushrooms 20 minutes.  Cut up in smaller bite size pieces ~ Marinate in Teriyaki sauce.



Another lunch we did that was a hit:

Self Serve Tuna wrap in romaine lettuce ~
Filling Choices: Tomato spears ~ Cucumber ~ Avocado ~ Arugula ~ Spinach ~ Goat Cheese ~ Sunflower Seeds W/ homemade mayo (not the greatest)

All Babies (and kids) should drink this "Acidophilus Milk"

Tehya went nuts when she tasted this.  I have not been able to get her interested in anything in a bottle but when she tasted this she was sitting in her walker and it was like a little piranha frenzy.  Too Funny!

Her tummy has always been sensitive...did you know that as the baby passes through the birth canal she receives 'beneficial bacteria from the birth canal' ;that is unless the momma is unhealthy; so babies who are c-section have a lower immunity and weakened digestion with gas, bloating, recurrent colds, sore throats, etc...interesting!

This probiotic drink will help build up a healthy inside ~

Drum Roll Please..........

1 C water
1-3 drops of stevia ( I used a sprinkle of stevia in the raw)
1 Tbsp probiotic --LifeStart by Natren
1 tsp. vanilla (non alcoholic)
1 tsp. lecithin granules (optional)  -- I didn't include this - honestly I don't even know what the heck it is.

We love this Homemade Italian Dressing!

1 cup organic unrefined olive oil
1/2 cup braggs apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp. Italian blend seasoning
1 clove garlic, minced

Harvest Soup : Candida Free Recipes

Harvest soup - Got 10 stars from every kid and the man.
1-2 Tbsp organic unrefined coconut oil, ghee or butter
1 large onion chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
4-5 medium carrots, chopped
3 medium red potatoes, chopped
1 medium fennel bulb --I did NOT use fennel
Stems from 1 bunch of brocoli ( I didn't only use stems)
Sea sale to taste

1.  Saute onion in oil/butter/ghee
2.  Saute potatoes and vegetables for a few minutes
3.  OK  as I'm copying the recipe I didn't follow it. Ha You are suppose to just cover it with water, cook till tender, then blend it up.  ~ We ate it in big chunks more like a stew and everyone loved it.

I also added ground bison.  Which goes against the Body Ecology Diet's Food Combining rules.
*  No starchy food with meat Only Vegetables.

Bad Guys ~ Good Guys Diet! Journey through a candida cleanse.

I wanted to track what we're ACTUALLY eating.  So hopefully this will continue to be updated!  I'm missing the first day in there somewhere and it's funny how quickly I forget what we ate.  "What did we eat for breakfast?"  oh brother...maybe my "brain fog" will go away after this diet.
