Gluten intolerance is not a psychological issue


Again, why do we have put up with people’s lack of intelligence? There is a big wide world that we are connected to called the internet. Research has proven that gluten intolerance is a real thing. Why can’t people understand that? I get comments time and time again telling me that it’s in my head. Yeah tell my stomach that when it blows up to make me look like 9 months pregnant in 30 minutes.

I can tell you that stupidity is a psychological issue and people need to get help for it. Just read. Educate yourself on stuff before you open your mouth.

Sorry for the grouchy post but it’s like enough is enough.

This post isn’t just for the gluten intolerance rant. It is for all the stupid remarks that comes out of everyone’s mouth.

Okay, I am done. For now.

There is no such thing as weird


As the old saying goes, we all march to the beat of our own drum. What is good for you might not be good for others, but that doesn’t mean you are weird. I shake my head at people who have comments like that or insinuate that they way you do things aren’t the right way or different.

I am 52-years-old and I still have people telling me that I’m weird, or I do things weird. What does that even mean? Are people in this day and age still that narrow minded? I can’t even call those who make comments like that dumb, because they aren’t. They are just self-centered, narrow minded, one way thinkers who believe that if it’s not done their way, it’s considered weird.

I can’t lol. I’m laughing out loud as I type this.

Just because you choose to live your life the way YOU want, please don’t let anyone make you second guess yourself. If for whatever reason, you don’t like a certain food, you like to wear certain outfits or colors, you prefer coffee a certain way, that is okay. You are not weird. You are human.

There is nothing weird about anything or anyone. If someone does call you weird or the way you do things, that’s just because they are miserable. Feel bad for them because they live a monotonous life.

I’m not lying


I just made THE BEST GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES EVER.

Shit you not. I am not going to make this long and drawn out. Below are the ingredients and instructions. Have at it and let me know how you like them!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup of Bob’s Red Mill 1 for 1 Gluten Free Flour

2 tablespoons of sugar

1/2 table spoon of baking powder

1 teaspoon of salt

2 tablespoons of unsalted melted butter

1 1/2 cups of any kind of milk(I used almond milk)that’s all I had(get it to a nice consistency. – pourable)

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

1 egg

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in your mixing bowl.
  • In a large measuring cup, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave.
  • Next, add vanilla extract to the milk and butter.
  • Whisk your egg well and add. to the previous mixture
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy which is good. If the batter feels too thick to you, add a splash of milk and mix again.
  • Use a non stick frying pan or griddle, heated up and add butter or cooking spray.
  • Serve pancakes fresh with your favorite fruit and some warm maple syrup.
  • Store leftover batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To make fresh pancakes, simply warm your frying pan and scoop batter directly from the refrigerator.

Not Sitting Right


If something isn’t sitting right with your soul, change it. It could be anything from your shoes, hairstyle, flower arrangement, residence, partner, friends, anything. Change it. Why feel off or carry that feeling of being uncomfortable?

Take time and think about what is irking you. There is always a way out. Some changes might take longer than others as well as the effort you put into it, but it can be done.

Do you feel that little off kilter ping inside your gut? Is it throwing your whole vibe/mood off? Develop a plan or just eliminate what it is that is annoying you, or making you mad/sad.

Get rid of that stressed out feeling.

How? First question, what is it exactly that is making you feel blah. Why is it making you feel that way? Is it something that can be easily or hard to remove out of your life?

By all means, not everything is easy just to make it go “poof” disappear. You might be dealing with a sick or dying loved one. In that case, do what you can to make that person or yourself feel better. If you are under stress because of it, there is no way you can make that person feel better or realize that your loved one is in a better place. Life is supposed to be celebrated. It isn’t healthy to hold on to something that was inevitable.

Holding on to the past is a definite way to induce those blah feelings. What’s in the past is in the past. Leave it there. Live in the here and now. Past relationships should be looked as a lesson in life and nothing else. Thinking in your mind, what could have, should have is not leaving any room for what can be.

Don’t let another second go by without realizing that it’s not okay to be not okay.
