a year of years.

I have been away for awhile because we FINALLY got all moved into our new apartment, but the down side is no internet so I have been unable to post anything which is sad. My Christmas was really good, my parents bought Ryan and I a lot of things for our apartment, which was incredibly wonderful of them. Also as my title so clearly says this was "a year of years," Ryan and I will be celebrating our one year anniversary soon, and I have had this blog for a little over a year. As I said in my earlier post I am Gfree and for Christmas I made a delicious dark chocolate and black bean cake, I will put the recipe in my next post. Also for Christmas my parents bought me a Hamsa bracelet. Being home with my family has kind of led me to be a slacker when it comes to meditation. Well there you have it that has been what is up with me and where I have been. Happy Holidays!

Big Life Changes!

Hello all!

Recently I have been going through some major life changes, to sum it all up:

1. Moving off campus in less than 2 weeks.

2. Becoming a Buddhist.

3. And I possibly have a Gluten allergy.

So there it is, my life is changing very quickly. The hardest of all these is becoming gluten-free because I love bread, pasta, cake, and I am a poor college student. Gluten-free food is not cheap by any means. For example, I went to Hy-vee and bought a $6.00 loaf of bread! $6.00!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that? So on my blog I will be putting college budget friendly gluten-free options. My first recipe will be for super yummy Hawaiin Salsa. 

Ingredients:

3 Roma tomatoes (seeded and chopped)

1 cup seeded, chopped cucumber (optional) 

1 cup fresh pineapple (chopped)

1/3 cup chopped onion

1 or 2 fresh jalapeno peppers (seeded and chopped)

2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon packed sugar

 

Combine all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Eat with Tostinos, which are gluten-free. 

Stay classy and eat some yummy G-free noms.
