Gluten Free (or not) No Yolks dish

Posted on November 11, 2013November 8, 2014 by TheUnspokenStruggle

This is one of those open the fridge, pull things out and hope for the best. And if I do say so myself this was seriously tasty! Although I would've like a few more ingredients such as maybe some peas and tomatoes, I figured what I had was a good jump off point. Ingredients: 2 Onions 3 carrots 1 box baby spinach Veggie Chicken substitute (obviously you can use regular chicken) Garlic Salt Pepper Basil Parsley Oregano 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVO) or butter 4...

Your story “will” heal…..

Posted on September 30, 2013November 15, 2017 by TheUnspokenStruggle

I start off with a heartfelt thank you to those of you reading this blog and to those who have had the courage to step forward and message me about the adoption-related posts. You have taken the time and energy to step out of your comfort in touching base with me and sharing your stories. I started adoption related postings; with the hopes that you may find even a small part of yourself here. I am touched to know as well that there are others out there who have connected with the post(s)...

Heaven sent strength

Posted on September 13, 2013September 14, 2013 by TheUnspokenStruggle

In our childhood and teen years we went to a local Catholic school and church where there was a local family that was quite a large family in toll and over the years my brother “H” had developed and sustained a friendship with one of the fellows from this family. For anonymity purposes we’ll call him “P”. As the years went by my brother “H” has stayed local to where we grew up and has very strong friendships with all his childhood buds including “P” who later had met and married a gal “...

The journey of self discovery

Posted on September 9, 2013January 9, 2017 by TheUnspokenStruggle

Please indulge me while I clarify that personally in my life do not refer to my parents as my “Adoptive parents”; they are my “parents”. I only use these terms throughout my posts so that you can follow the bouncing ball. ;) From here forward I will use A.D. for Adoptive Parents, B.P. for Birth Parents. I mentioned in a previous post that I do not recall a time that I did not know I was adopted, but this is worth repeating. I say this because over the years of doing adoption reunions there...

Cauliflower Veggie Pizza (gluten free or not-your choice!)

Posted on August 31, 2013September 1, 2013 by TheUnspokenStruggle

I’ve been a pretty quiet on the blog the last few weeks. I've been trying to get my groove and keeps up on posts but then summer stepped in! Between the busyness and the viruses it's certainly kept me off-line for the most part. You know how "they" always say that "its" going around; well I certainly hope that none of you or yours were privy to the "it" that went around this summer. I have to say that was by far the most ill I've been in a very very long time. A freaky viral thing that th...

A gem of a shopping find

Posted on July 27, 2013July 28, 2013 by TheUnspokenStruggle

Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping ~Bo Derek So in my last post when I mentioned that great little day trip or camping trip at Rock Glen and I was mentioning how I came across this great little find of a store. Well really it's not "that" little, I think unfortunately somewhere in my years if something isn't department store size it equates to being small as opposed to simply smaller. And this place has utilized absolutely every inch of their store ...

Rock Glen – A great day trip!

From the waterfall he named her, Minnehaha, Laughing Water. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow So who doesn't look for nice day trip getaways? I think we all do and I'm happy to share this one with you.

So off to Rock Glen it was but not before making a stop at this great little find in Forest. Ill post about that soon for you!! R...

Gluten Free whole grain bread.

Posted on July 7, 2013July 7, 2013 by TheUnspokenStruggle

One of the things I miss the most since having gone gluten-free is a really good whole wheat bread. Not just whole wheat bread but one that can be eaten fresh or toasted. Well I have to say I've go t it!! Oh my gosh this is by far the best Ive made thus far...whole what that is. It's got a really great texture so it doesn't fall apart as soon as you pick it up or in the toaster which as you know is not fun. You're hungry and waiting for that piece of toast, up it pops and you go to grab ...

Mothers Day…my perspective.

Posted on June 10, 2013June 10, 2013 by TheUnspokenStruggle

There is no other gift as great as that of your mother. To have a “present” mother and one that takes you on the journey of mother and daughter is what every girl deserves. At times the woman who births you isn’t the same one that nurtures you, supports you, shows you your value…your worth and drives you to be the best you that you can be. Whether you are a biological, adoptive, step mother legal guardian or otherwise; if you are the female figure raising children it is through you that t...

Living together; fighting cancer together: The Battle begins…

Posted on June 3, 2013June 3, 2013 by TheUnspokenStruggle

It has certainly been a test of time, patience and self-restraint over the last few weeks; ergo my being a little elusive with my blogging as of late. As much as I try to go with the flow and try to understand and put things into perspective as they arise; I can not seem to do it when it comes to the one thing in life that has no prejudices…Cancer. Over the course of the years this disease has taken my family members and friends along the way….both 2 legged and 4. I would gander a gue...
