One More Chapter
A twenty two year-old's view on life, death,
and Taylor Swift conspiracy theories
and Taylor Swift conspiracy theories
Don't be frightened away by the title of this post, there is really a quite simple explanation. You see, I have found myself in a bit of a pickle lately. I am following this strict diet which limits me to only eating a very mininal range of ingredients. I mainly only ever eat fruits, veggies, dairy and oats/granolas as long as their gluten-free. Oh and let's not forget chocolate. I tried at one point to cut out chocolate from my diet as the finishing step to being really healthy...yeah, not so much. Let's just say: I wasn't a fan. I, and my entire family (exluding my alien brother), are complete chocoholics. We need it or we might die. Literally. So anyways, back to the point. I was living life eating the same thing everyday: granola for breakfast and some sort of vegetable saute/wrap/soup for dinner, with the occasional meat or seafood thrown into the mix and an apple with some PB for dessert. Oh, and potatoes. I love me some oven roasted potatoes. But I was sick of the monotonous and repetitive eating routine. Until I discovered Chocolate Covered Katie, the food blog that changed it all. Not only was her blog chock full of amazing and mouth-watering recipes (mainly desserts, breakfast food and baked items like breads and such) but almost all of her creations were meant to be healthy alternatives! It was love at first site. I got the recipe for my birthday cake from her blog (which were technically birthday brownies) and my mother and I loved them! Most of her posts are really simple and easy to make and consist of things that people generally keep around their house all the time. And just to top it all off, almost all the recipes are gluten-free or consist of gluten-free substitutions! Plus I found this killer, healthy baked oatmeal recipe that will definitely change up the breakfast routine every now and then. http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/08/09/basic-chocolate-oatmeal/ If you haven't seen the blog, definitely do! Just beware - don't check it out on an empty stomach, you might drool all over the screen!
