My sweet but salty SCD Shortbread

-
I have a sweet tooth, and ever since I was little, I have always loved short bread.


Since being on the SCD diet, I haven't been eating sugar, and so my taste buds are adapting, and therefor, I now have a love for salty things.


When a couple weeks ago I had one of my cravings for shortbread, I decided to try making my own recipe, and add a salty and sweet flavor!
Enjoy!

RECIPE
Salty but sweet gut healthy Shortbread

  3. With an electric mixer, mix all of the ingredients together until well combined
  4. Scoop into 1 inch balls, and place on tray

My Health Journey

-
I was first Diagnosed with Colitis in 2018, just after my grandmother had past away.  I was going through a life changing and stressful time, so it make sense that I would flare up. I had mild symptoms for 6 months, and then it go really bad, and so I get rushed to emergency! They made an appointment for me to meet with a doctor, and he said that I should get a colonoscopy. It was very scary, but I got through it.  It was right after I woke up from the anesthesia that he told me that I had Ulcerative colitis. All we were told was to eat junk food and we were given a scary pamphlet that basically said that I would be in pain for the rest of my life, would get cancer, and never have kids. Turns out those things are not true! I did not just have to be on the "Junk food only" diet, and I also think I will be able to have kids! I am now finally in remission after many hospital visits, and many painful months! -Gutsy Girly

I got a JUICER

Hello and welcome back to my blog!  This mother's day, my mom mentioned wanting to get a juicer.  Because we are in quarantine, we could not go into the store to buy it, and my dad being the online shopper that he is, he ordered it for her, and it came the very next day! A juicer is a machine that you can put all sorts of vegetables and fruits into, and it makes it into juice. The juicer that we have is the  Hurom slow juicer  and it is really great.  I love to make juice in the mornings, because it is super energizing.  The only issue that I have with juicing is that it can be a hassle to clean.  Although it can be difficult to clean, I definitely feel as though the positives out weigh the negatives.  Here is a list of some of my favorite juices to make Ginger carrot juice Kale, spinach and apple Strawberry and orange Kiwi and kale and ginger and so many more Thank you for reading and I highly suggest that you buy a juicer! -Gutsy girly
