Painting is Completed
Acrylic painting on canvas. It started as a scribble. The colors were chosen, and randomly painted. Then the fine details were added with acrylic markers.

What! It’s time for a Change?!
This morning, I became motivated to change some items around in my home.
First I ordered a new bedding. I need my colors to match! I also want some colors that show my personality.
I moved my area rug to my studio. I now can do yoga with a rug under my mat, which my knees are so happy for this decision.
Breakfast
For breakfast, I made sausage. And cut up kiwi, and added blackberries and raspberries to it. And a tall glass of chocolate milk.
I watched some of my favorite YouTube artists.
I do have clients scheduled today. Mostly later this evening.
Will the change happen?
I’m still undecided if fully working from home will be the best for me. I think by the end of the year I will have the answer.

Portobello Mushroom Pizza
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.
Portobello Mushroom Pizza
Ingredients
- Portobello mushrooms
- Tomato sauce
- Vegan parmesan cheese
- Olive oil
- Toaster oven
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!

Tuna Sushi Rolls and Soup
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

I used Crayola color pencils.
Is this finished? I don’t think so. I have more ideas. There’s a lot of blank space on this paper.

Gluten Free and Dairy Free Crepes
I found this on the blog:https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/gluten-free-crepes/#recipe
This was a great recipe. It turned out delicious. It was like I was in Paris France again.
Ingredients
- 2Â large eggs
- ¾ cup milk , dairy-free use almond, cashew or coconut milk.
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum (leave out if your flour already has it)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons melted butter , for dairy-free use Smart Balance butter
Directions
Beat the eggs, add rest of the ingredients.
I had to use a mixer to get the batter smooth.
Drop 1/4 cup of batter into the heated pan. Cook for 1 minute. Flip and cook for 30 seconds to a minute.
Add fruit to the crepe.
Why the oranges in the photo? Because I was originally going to make crepes with oranges and squeeze some for the juice. After inspecting they were not good to eat. So strawberries and bananas were the next choice.
Yes I added chocolate syrup to mine!
