This site is about my life in the art studio. It includes drawings, paintings, knitting and cross stitch and fun art techniques. I will also include recipes and yoga and book reviews. This is a lifestyle blog with intentional and simple living ideas.

Lymphatic exercises and cycling
It was a stressful day. Visited my aunt who is in hospice care. It was a long day sitting and seeing her in pain.

Woke up later than I wanted. 5:30am. I made my hot tea and tried to talk myself out of exercising. But I didn’t.
Yoga
Boiled eggs and cheese
Nothing
Left over pasta and chicken, cheese, cookies
Popsicle
None. I was tired and decided to keep my legs elevated and rest.

Gluten free and dairy free, vegan
Ingredients
I used a mix of pre-cut vegetables that’s at the grocery store.
First I cut up the vegetables and started to saute them in olive oil after they cook down I added the dandelion. I turned down the heat to a simmer.
By the vegetables were sauteing I boiled water for the rice noodles. Follow the directions to cook those on the package. It took 7 minutes for the rice noodles to be cooked.
Drain the rice noodles with cold water. Then add to the vegetables and stir together.
At parmesan cheese on top with salt and pepper. It goes well with a side salad and garlic bread.
Happy Day

This afternoon, lunch was planned. Lately, my stomach has been picky. I have to eat gluten free dairy free and soy free. Having digestive issues, rheumatoid arthritis and lipedema, this is the best diet to keep inflammation under control.
Ingredients
Set toaster oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the stems and scrap out the black veins of the mushroom. Use a spoon or something blunt.
Put some olive oil on the mushroom where the stem was.
Bake in toaster oven for 3 minutes.
Flip the mushrooms over.
Add tomato sauce and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it, mine was done in 15 minutes.
I served it with potatoes fried in olive oil. You can make a salad or have it with spaghetti. I was craving potatoes!
Happy Day

This is the first time I tried making sushi rolls. It was a slight challenge.
I mixed tuna with dairy free mayo.
This rolled it.
Then put plastic wrap around it and placed it in refrigerator.
I served potato soup and side of colorful carrots to the sushi tuna rolls. It was delicious
Happy Day

Eating gluten free and dairy free has helped me to be more inventive with my meal ideas.
Today I made a plate of cucumbers, tomato cut in wedges, guacamole and gluten free crackers. With hot tea. Then I had a few gluten free Oreos.
The new Dutch oven was used, along with the new pans. They cooked this meal wonderfully.
Make rice. Then cut in slices zucchini and yellow squash and cut red onion in thin sliced. Saute with salt and pepper. Then add the mushrooms.
Then cook the shrimp. I used frozen cooked shrimp. I put cold water on the shrimp before it was heated up. I put butter in the pan. Then later I added coconut aminos for added flavor.
I put a sliced avocado on the side along with watermelon and cantaloupe.
Happy Day
