Healing leaky gut: day 15

Healing leaky gut: day 15

I'm halfway through the tough part of this project! It actually feels wonderful! I crave coffee and chocolate and now it won't be long before I get to introduce this into my diet again. I'm really looking forward to it! Today there has been some really good food on the menu. If every day looks like this, I have no problem whatsoever in continuing to eat this way. The food is both beautiful to look at, tastes amazing and is healthy! And on top of that, I feel great:-)

Yum, it was delicious! Everyone ate and wanted more. Good thing David wasn't home, or there wouldn't have been food left over for tomorrow's lunch boxes:-)
