90 Day Challenge

Hello Lovelies!!! I recently made a ninety day challenge for myself and was thinking of updating my progress here so I have accountability. In the next ninety days I want to be 1.Bolder, more confident, more reserved, only speak when necessary, allows my confidence to speak for itself, is empathetic but not a doormat, --- Journal

2. To have all the material from semester 1 understood. Make flashcards, mind maps, etc to make sure I understand the concepts and when I'm preparing for semester exams, it’s easier. 3. To improve my voice control. Spend a week recording myself sing, identify the flaws and try to fix them.

4. Workout more. Gym? Home workouts, daily routines and meal tracking.

5. Learn to execute control in front of younger children. Understand how to claim the room and their attention. Learn to make lessons fun and to be more laid back with them without losing your control and authority. Make them respect you. (I have to train elementary kids for a show they're performing)

6. Improve my reading speed. Track how much I read in given amount of time.

Gluten Free - Day 7

I have always had a very serious love affair with Olive Garden. Most of what I eat there is packed with gluten, which includes my most favorite menu item, the Zuppe Toscano soup. I could eat bowls and bowls of this soup and never get tired of it! So I found a recipe online that I could modify to make it gluten free. I actually had already made this recipe a few times and had just never looked to see what made it gluten. Most of the ingredients like: potatoes, kale, heavy cream, and bacon are gluten free. However I learned that I would have to check the Italian sausage package as well as the chicken broth package; they don't always have gluten, but you do have to check because they can.

So today I am making this soup and doing it gluten free. All of my items are gluten free and mostly organic. Everything I have for it is organic, except for the heavy whipping cream and Italian sausage. I want to look into getting half a pig, that is raised organically and not on corn (it would probably save Mike and I some money, play I know it would be much healthier than what is in the grocery stores). I can't lie it was a pleasure knowing I could still enjoy this soup while on my 90 gluten free trial!! However it still means I can't enjoy it at the restaurant, so no Olive Garden for me for a while.

I've noticed that you really make just about anything your heart can desire gluten-free in your own home. It's  just not as easy to find options in restaurants (they do have options, just limited. Yesterday I even made mozzarella sticks and instead of using panko bread crumbs, I substituted corn meal - umm... not the best choice, I wouldn't recommend corn meal at all - yuck!! Next time I'm going to use almond meal, the corn meal had a weird texture and flavor and kind of ruined my mozzarella sticks a little.

Anyway here is a link to the Zuppe Toscano soup recipe that I used, incase you are interested and would like to try.

p.s. Don't forget to check your sausage and chicken broth to make sure they are gluten-free
