Their customer service is fantastic and I highly recommend them if you haven't tried them yet. My favourite is dark chocolate and I especially like their plain dark chocolate bars and flower disks.<br />

<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We came back from holidays a week and a half ago then hit the ground running taking 2 days to prepare for our Saturday and Sunday market. For the Saturday market we make delicious gluten free treats along with our bath and body products and also donated 150 gluten free cupcakes for the 25th year of Saturday's <a href="http://www.mossstreetmarket.com/"><b>Moss Street Market</b></a>. On Monday we crashed and Tuesday worked at our part time job. Today we are celebrating my mom's birthday.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We went to Portland, Oregon for a week and attended a 2 day conference at <a href="http://www.mystoryline.net/"><b>Storyline</b></a> with Donald Miller (all about changing the story of your life). Since we were there we decided to add on a bit of holiday and went with a friend from church.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It was a wonderful time to get away and do something completely different. My sister and I had been to Astoria, Cannon Beach, Seaside a few years earlier and had only spent 2 hours in Portland so it was fun to actually explore Portland this time.</span><br />

Voodoo Doughnuts had a massive line up and it's always like that. We waited 30 minutes and I didn't have one as they don't have a gluten free option. My friend and sister tried them and weren't that impressed, apparently we have better doughnuts in Victoria. Salt and Straw was just amazing and we visited both locations (once in the Nob Hill District and also the Alberta District). They have the most amazing flavours. The Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons was mine and my sister's favourite.</span><br />

Powell's Books was right near our hotel and we loved it. They had books on every subject. I took a photo of E.E. Cummings poetry next to Emily Dickinson's poems. The Storyline Conference in Portland was great but I'm still trying to absorb it all. There was a lot of information crammed into a 2 day period.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pizzicatopizza.com/"><b>Pizzicato</b></a> was another great place as they had a gluten free crust option. It was amazing pizza. Portland was a very friendly city and we all enjoyed our time there.</span></div>

I've come up with so many tips to stay healthy but I do have days when it is so difficult and I'm so tempted to go back to old unhealthy patterns but I usually have a few tricks up my sleeve to overcome temptation. I either<br />
a) get busy and do something to take my mind of the temptation b) look at my food journal and see how far I've come and how long I've been eating well c) let the unhealthy temptation linger for a bit and whine to myself that I can't give in which is futile and happens less rarely these days d) whine to my sister to motivate me and e) eat something healthy if I'm really hungry and it's not just a craving.<br />
<br />
My sister and I are always experimenting with gluten free as we sell gluten free baking at our local market along with bath and beauty products. We are always trying to come up with ideas for lower calorie gluten free food.<br />
<br />
Here is a pizza we had a few weeks ago:<br />
<br />

<div>The cheese we used is dairy and soy free as well and one of our secret ingredients. If memory serves correct this one is about 224 calories per slice.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Here is the newest pizza we had this past week-end:</div><div><br />
</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Gluten Free Pizza with broccoli, onions, peppers and cheese</span></b></td></tr>
</tbody></table>This one has even fewer calories and comes in at around 137.5 calories per slice and it was so divine and light. I didn't feel sick afterwards like I do with traditional pizza.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Here is one of my favourite breakfasts (it's egg white with soy and dairy free cheese along with cafe lib (caffine alternative) or sometimes a hot cocoa which is my weakness.</div><div><br />
</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><div><br />
<div>I find this breakfast filling due to the protein in the egg whites. It's hard for me not to have a hot drink in the morning and I love Caf Lib (it's my favourite out of all the caffine alternatives I've tried) and use my milk frother to whip up my soy milk and then add flavouring. The hot drink varies as I sometimes have hot cocoa (my favourite but I'm allergic to it so I have it in moderation) and on rare occasions coffee.</div><div><br />
</div><div>My sister and I decided to surprise my mom with a lovely custom blend of flowers we chose.</div><div><br />

When my family and I moved here there was snow similar to this. It cripples the city and lots of schools and offices are closed.<br /><br />Being from Ontario I grew up with snow and love how beautiful it looks. It is bright and casts a beautiful glow which I quite enjoy. It is bitter cold out and hard to drive in so I think most people want it go away.<br /><br />MichelleFooFooBerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16424338034249733081noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774134341125344297.post-39978888882295888042011-02-11T15:45:00.000-08:002011-02-11T15:46:58.777-08:00A Random Post of SortsToday I thought I'd do a random list of things I like and yes all buy one is food related.<br /><br />As of late November I've been on a health kick. Sure I want to lose weight but I also want to feel better and eat better. I've come to realize that losing weight, feeling better and looking good are a process. It's not instant (well at least losing weight isn't instant for me but maybe for some it comes off quickly).<br /><br />I've also come to realize I can't tolerate gluten so I eat gluten free now. My sister and I sell gluten free goodies at our local market 6 months a year so we love experimenting with new recipes.<br /><br />Here is a lovely colourful plate of veggies:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGdecQw7ct11hEDia3eDqYzkGs5wlGEPxRJU35TdoFekQ7n5QDpXCHzXi8kVc6aav2Ue3mwpnQdtE3iqYzZOFCbTWkELyl4iLD289CfZsUr4YEll96Vvq3s6T5vhAyBa49ZRilyi1ohQA-/s1600/Vegetable+Medley.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGdecQw7ct11hEDia3eDqYzkGs5wlGEPxRJU35TdoFekQ7n5QDpXCHzXi8kVc6aav2Ue3mwpnQdtE3iqYzZOFCbTWkELyl4iLD289CfZsUr4YEll96Vvq3s6T5vhAyBa49ZRilyi1ohQA-/s320/Vegetable+Medley.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />Here is a divine gluten free quiche my mom made:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizjffR50DHA4zxeXZszRVR4jFoXNO-yR_00yZF69qDTBBrnoP3qOUUEzHPBEG4rHv1s2pdu8EMNPDf8c4PqxhjF-fldb43yFIn3WI-9-_wEhepciMwQ44cMKiZT-oXxbjWMnE64wIRKwYy/s1600/GF+Quiche.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizjffR50DHA4zxeXZszRVR4jFoXNO-yR_00yZF69qDTBBrnoP3qOUUEzHPBEG4rHv1s2pdu8EMNPDf8c4PqxhjF-fldb43yFIn3WI-9-_wEhepciMwQ44cMKiZT-oXxbjWMnE64wIRKwYy/s320/GF+Quiche.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />My newest addiction is Cauliflower Soup with sweet potatoes on top:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsAiubHlclEoZwm0twh_uMt7tmYwJskd0in_EUZqS79qMYZvQq0QXvIEZMcC3-_SdvbJvf-vHpOd_iw8xeb8vCPus6M6cSJPENCq8QB1VdLy_mlzo_iLiMsbXhWF-nLeNpxsfEcXrTuq-b/s1600/Sweet+Potato+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsAiubHlclEoZwm0twh_uMt7tmYwJskd0in_EUZqS79qMYZvQq0QXvIEZMcC3-_SdvbJvf-vHpOd_iw8xeb8vCPus6M6cSJPENCq8QB1VdLy_mlzo_iLiMsbXhWF-nLeNpxsfEcXrTuq-b/s320/Sweet+Potato+2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />I've talked about this before but my favourite Christmas gift is my new milk frother.

It's a white bread with sweet dried fruit inside. There are many variations on this and sometimes you get raisins. On occasion we buy this delectable treat around Christmas time but this year we couldn't find a good brand we liked. Once bakery we went too was charging an outrageous price so we decided to make our own this year. My sister volunteered to make it and we ate it throughout the Christmas holidays.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhunHjOBwPi4L5K20yMfDtePE6kEqGtOAmyGwO0yk8h47ojUMvfURgPDd8HmenyiyaFjo0H-tqkV70jz6c3xh-0vxXibCX6S-tuoqjt_KOwDhpPeeNNo-xwSiHpFID2jwr6NSV08nzpr8ib/s1600/DSCN5662.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhunHjOBwPi4L5K20yMfDtePE6kEqGtOAmyGwO0yk8h47ojUMvfURgPDd8HmenyiyaFjo0H-tqkV70jz6c3xh-0vxXibCX6S-tuoqjt_KOwDhpPeeNNo-xwSiHpFID2jwr6NSV08nzpr8ib/s320/DSCN5662.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Homemade Panettone<br /><br /></b></td></tr></tbody></table>The other divine treat I had over the holidays was my mom's divine Pumpkin pie without crust.

We stopped for lunch outside this store so she took it out of her bag and placed it on our table so it would feel Christmas like.

After 4.5 hours of walking everywhere we figured we deserved a treat. This is the regular hot cocoa and we even got to try a sample of their mint hot cocoa which was divine.

Well one cup gave me a whole pan worth and I tried some with just a bit of Mrs Dash extra spicy and thought it tasted good. It has a bit of a slight nutty flavour to it if (it's hard to describe). Once it was mixed in with the corn salad it was divine and so filling.

We have had 2 Christmas shows in the last week and have been working non stop to make sure it's perfect.<br /><br />Our last Christmas show is coming up in two weeks.<br /><br />So back in the summer I finally got my a Macbook Pro 15" antiglare laptop and was looking everywhere trying to find a hard shell for it and it had to be pink. The problem was the laptop I bought had just been released and no one at the time had a case that fit perfectly since Apple changed the power adapter for this model. My plan was to order a Speck one but at the time they had to be modified using a nail file and I wanted to buy one that just worked.<br /><br />I ended up with a Magenta InCase Design one and love it:<br /><br /><table class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2ef1wXH0GoZ147Js4RVow_nFGtDhT3lkGaO-NOd88-mcuuZIkF82tDPodnwDSAE4BAPgdzr4v7szAvGIK8-9kP56hBhcgCAhxUOddAztMfIyBMRCrqXvprL3Zpd0v0HvpWlGLHQCeeVAa/s1600/magenta1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2ef1wXH0GoZ147Js4RVow_nFGtDhT3lkGaO-NOd88-mcuuZIkF82tDPodnwDSAE4BAPgdzr4v7szAvGIK8-9kP56hBhcgCAhxUOddAztMfIyBMRCrqXvprL3Zpd0v0HvpWlGLHQCeeVAa/s320/magenta1.jpg" height="212" width="320" border="0" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.goincase.com/products/detail/hardshell-case-cl57237m">Magenta Hardshell Case for 15" Macbook Pro</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Now I won't worry about scratches or having it go in and out of my knapsack.

Sometimes I wear it around the house if I'm chilly and it instantly warms me right up. She is working on a dark grey one now and will probably sell a few at our market and maybe even our website.<br /><br />She even knit me a pair of arm warmers that have funky green and brown stripes.

I got a blue czech stone necklace with matching earrings. The vendor next to me at Moss makes beautiful things and she was wearing one a few weeks back and I knew I had to buy one for myself. I also got this cool looking bracelet that I think looks very rocker chick.<br /><br />Blue Czech Glass Necklace: <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXEUhCdtEr9pbE_ljwySjJuDuyPGUQZcnQmPPiIYGu-FK8UUmpm5_VTgM16rTT9bf-QaFGlEch6IouQUhkWcCh5gLo_rqRhrGNFjGiVsjdp5KeJbCb1SDJxpM8913X6OYqb969__sJMI_C/s1600/Blue+Glass+Necklace.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 168px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXEUhCdtEr9pbE_ljwySjJuDuyPGUQZcnQmPPiIYGu-FK8UUmpm5_VTgM16rTT9bf-QaFGlEch6IouQUhkWcCh5gLo_rqRhrGNFjGiVsjdp5KeJbCb1SDJxpM8913X6OYqb969__sJMI_C/s320/Blue+Glass+Necklace.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525460533628513986" /></a><br /><br />Blue Czech Glass Earring (it was hard to get a photo of these):<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivt1r67GvdTsm0FBG500dASk6Glw-kLKwLwn7ESEOfE8c5al-APmzCcDEk9rr6QDwBY_ktpPeepvhfxuUeE1Xk3Xmi8X1aEuQRZrZTLcfrTQmAY7zEquKv7gQFe1367LipceJlfVoXMUpn/s1600/Blue+Earrings.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivt1r67GvdTsm0FBG500dASk6Glw-kLKwLwn7ESEOfE8c5al-APmzCcDEk9rr6QDwBY_ktpPeepvhfxuUeE1Xk3Xmi8X1aEuQRZrZTLcfrTQmAY7zEquKv7gQFe1367LipceJlfVoXMUpn/s320/Blue+Earrings.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525460762149893858" /></a><br /><br />What I describe as my rocker chick Asian bracelet:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzTd39-jkYPqiQyWTofls_1BwQMvlNNOkm9h8WN-LKksOBFxjET0mejQL-3LewoN9sJ_PkNq9wowuAoI39GOeLD52WOjaz7_uCthywbXhCguK3M44qZdSYPrRXcO-2EjMKNNrYteAuI0Z8/s1600/DSCN5365.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 296px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzTd39-jkYPqiQyWTofls_1BwQMvlNNOkm9h8WN-LKksOBFxjET0mejQL-3LewoN9sJ_PkNq9wowuAoI39GOeLD52WOjaz7_uCthywbXhCguK3M44qZdSYPrRXcO-2EjMKNNrYteAuI0Z8/s320/DSCN5365.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525460981897929186" /></a><br /><br />Other exciting news is I got my haircut from my fabulous hairdresser Stacey. I've been getting my hair cut from her for the last 4 years of so. She has taught in hairdressing schools and is currently working in the public school system. I found two cute dews and had her mesh the two photos and I love the results.<br /><br />Until next time,<br /><br />MichelleFooFooBerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16424338034249733081noreply@blogger.com0
