#3 Favorite foods

Before I go on- you need to know that buckwheat is GF. It is actually a fruit and is in the rhubarb and sorrel family. There are alot of misconceptions about Buckwheat in the GF community, so I have provided a link to an information site. click here

I have this as a hot cereal in the morning and I was surprised at how well it held my appetite till lunch. Buckwheat has alot of protein which helps to decrease fluctuations in blood sugar. A very hardy and tasty breakfast. You make it like you would cream of wheat or oatmeal. Reasonably priced as well, under $ 3 a box, with 9 servings per box. I need to make a bread with this and quinoa...I'll let you know how that comes out.

#2 Favorite things

These TERRA 'exotic vegetable chips' are DELICIOUS!!
There are 3 flavors- Mediterranean, Original, and Zesty Tomato.
I found them in the health foods section at Wegmans on sale and I had a coupon! So that brought them down to $2 a bag instead of $4 a bag. Much more palatable. I cant believe something so healthy tastes so good! They are made from root vegetables- which I love! (I make a roasted root vegetable medley in the fall and cooler months)
Some of these roots are: Yuca, Cassava, Sweet potato, Parsnips and Taro. The red chip is a root infused with beet juice extract which gives it that purplish color. My kids beg me to have some! I usually don't share more than 1 chip per kid though- as they are mommy's special treat. Some things need to remain sacred around here!
