I Gotta Try it!!!! I gotta Try it!!! I GOTTA TRY IT!!!!

Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour - it seems in all the baking sites this is the best gluten free almond flour to use for best results in baking.  Cant wait to try it!!

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Gold Label - This is THE stuff!! My friend Jenn uses this and swears by it. It is pricey but it contains no chemicals whatsoever and is not refined!! This is pure coconut oil all the nutrients and everything!  I am also interested in trying their coconut peanut butter.


Almondie Almond Butter and Walnut Butter- This is pure nut butter!  THE nut Butter! They suggest making your own pure almond milk at home using their chemical free butter, oh yum.  I gotta try this!

I Gotta Try this!!! 100% Natural Stevia- No chemicals added!!!


So I was talking with my friend Lesley the other day and she told me about this Stevia that you can find at health food stores or online that has no chemicals on the ingredients list only Stevia - apparently its the only really 100% natural sweetener.  It is a little pricier than the ones you can buy in the grocery store, but for me its worth it. 100 % Natural Calorie Free Sugar Free Sweetener

I am very interested in trying there recipes too as soon as I get my order I will let you know how it goes!  Here is a link to their recipes:  http://www.sweetleaf.com/sweetleaf-recipes by the way they are not gluten free only sugar free recipes, so I will be experimenting with ingredients to adapt them to gluten free.  

Another product they have is naturally flavored liquid stevia if you saw my post before where I was trying to find a better alternative to the sugary chocolate milk powders I think I found it!  My friend Lesley said the Chocolate flavored one is delicious and lasts a long time.  Some other flavors they have that I thought sounded yummy are:  berry, hazelnut, orange, vanilla, and toffee. Here is a link :

GOTTA TRY THIS: CURVES FOR WOMEN



http://www.curvesforwomen.com/  you can try it out free for a week too!! no obligation!

SO I have been trying to get excited about exercise and have been failing however I got a trial pass for Curves which I have done in years past and had great results and I forgot how much I loved it!! Its a 30 min circuit training using hydraulics to minimize your soreness and maximize results.  I love it!!!! On the days I dont feel like exercising i just say- its only 30 min.  and I can do it anyway.  I plan on joining for the summer since I already have a membership at our local rec center. The cons are the limited hours open. Its geared more towards overweight women or women over 40 (which may be a pro or a con for you).  So if you are already in pretty good shape it may not be right  for you.  But for me someone who doesn't exercise regularly and needs to lose 50 lbs. its perfect!!!!  I would definitely recommend you to at least try the week free trial. I have really enjoyed it!

Of course a Healthy Diet and Exercise are a given!! ;)

GOTTA TRY THESE : I want these Cookbooks!!!

I took a look inside this cookbook at Costco its $10, and includes gluten free, sugar free recipes.  The author Rhiannon is actually one of Patrick's best friends sister.  That is not why I want it that is just a plus ;)  Anyway she uses Agave and Stevia instead of sugar and I am not gluten intolerant but the recipes sound delicious! I have a link to her blog under my favorite Healthy blogs list.


This cookbook has 300 recipes all under 300 calories.  I have a link to the hungry girl blog where you can see pics and nutritional info on all of the recipes.  This cookbook is also for sale at costco but I cant remember the price but you can get it at Amazon for around $13.  This is making me Hungry!! ;)

GOTTA TRY THIS- MISTO Olive Oil Sprayer


Since I am trying to cut down on all the crazy chemicals in our food/drink/etc. I was really interested in this Misto Olive Oil stainless steel spray can unlike the canned oil sprays i normally use this one doesn't use any chemicals or propellants.  And I dont have to worry about using too much oil in my pans either.  They are about 10$ each and I think around 20$ for 2 at Costco.  What do you think??  Do you have one??
