New adventure- blogging!

I have not seriously considered doing this before but now seems like a good time to start.Life seems to be full of new challenges and adventures- they pop up weekly!
I thought I might write about some of these as the time seems right.
This months new challenge is eating gluten and dairy free.
My husband and daughter seem to have some trouble with their gut that will probably be solved by eating gluten and dairy free. My husband is keen and my daughter is too but, being 18 she has a lot of challenges with all of her social events.
So after a poor start we are now getting ready to really begin.
I had already started this way of thinking when I realised that we seem to be very dependent on wheat in just about every meal- I had already started varying the types of flours we were eating to increase the types of nutrients ingested.
I also really want to try to eat food that has very little processing. Fortunately I have a Thermomix. This wonderful little machine really helps me to achieve this goal.I LOVE this machine and use it daily creating all sorts of yummies. Our meals should have some protein, veges and a little fat.

So in an attempt to share my journey here is our menu for the day
Breakfast- asian greens, mushrooms, tomato and eggs with home made tomato sauce.
Lunch- Home made baked beans on a bed of salad with avocado
Dinner- Thai fish cakes (Cyndi O'Meara), salald and homemade Chilli Lime dressing (Cyndi O'Meara), yogurt and fruit
Snacks- handful of fruit and nuts
