GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
Sorry I ate it too quick and didnt get to take a picture. BTW this is a rather filling cake so you might want to share with another person.
3 Tbsp of Brown rice flour (I used 2 tbsp and 1 tbsp of protein powder)
3 Tbsp of agave nector (stevia, honey, brown rice syrup)
a pinch of salt
a pinch of baking powder
2 Tbsp of cocoa powder
3 Tbsp of chocolate mint coconut milk (or almond milk)
1 egg
3 Tbsp of applesauce (I have a jar of homemade soften cinnamon apples that I puree)
splash of vanilla
Mix all in a large coffee mug and microwave on high for 3 mins.
Feel free to add whatever you want, I have added raisins, chocolate chips, dark chocolate, mint extract.

M.I.A
Oh boy this holiday season stole my life...It seems like everytime I turned around I had something to do with the Girl Scouts, christmas parties or just shopping (and baking)
Boy do I have alot of catching up to do. During my M.I.A. I have learned alot of new stuff. I have not only done smoothie challenges and clean eating but I have also begun changing my lifestyle to that of a Gluten Free one. I went one week completely Gluten Free and I could not believe the difference, shoulder pain that has been unbearable ceased, bloating went away and I found my energy.
One of the things I learned is that my body truly does love to communicate with me. As it turns up, I have awful listening skills.
Ok so with all this newfound knowledge, I still managed to go off the deepend several days (a week) during the holidays. 2 nights ago I indulged in Pizza and fried chicken and brown rice sushi - yep all in one meal...Oh but wait, I did have a salad also. But the next day, I woke up and it was as if my butt took on 2 other sizes. I felt it before I even climbed out of bed. Seriously, laying in bed I felt like I was laying on a small child but come to find out it was just added layers of butt. No problem, nothing a smoothie challenge couldnt fix, right? Well yeah, if only I could get motivated to do the smoothie challenge. However, Im gonna go ahead and throw it out there..Tomorrow starts a new year and new habits...uggg there I said it, so cliche'
So I decided I work better with a organized schedule. I tend to try to do 10 things at once therefore nothing gets done. I clean the living room, as Im picking up, I bring something into the bedroom then I start on the bedroom never completing the living and so on and so forth. Then I will sit down to research something that comes to mind and I gotta do it right then or Ill forget. So I get on the computer and theres FB so naturally, I have to review FB then it will remind me to do research something else...and next thing you know 1 hr late (ok 2 hrs) and I have not accomplished one thing.
I wont even get into my workouts lately...oh wait, what work outs. So starting tomorrow I will build a workout schedule so I will know what I need to do what day and it needs to be the first thing I accomplish everyday otherwise I wont do it.
Sounds like Ive got a plan, anyone else have some great ideas for the new year
