Ok now that I showed you what I eat for breakfast in this gluten-free lifestyle, let’s take a look at my Gluten-Free Lunch Ideas.
To recap I eat:
I don’t eat bread (you can read more about my weight loss journey here).
In the past year, I have opted for a lighter afternoon lunch. I have a later breakfast so lunch is around 1-2ish. Since we both work from home, I usually take whatever meal prep I’ve done and make lunch for Casey and I. I went through all of My Everyday Life photos to see what I’ve been eating for lunch the past year. This is how I have been staying satisfied:
Happy Monday, friends!
I have more food journals in the shop. I am going to be ordering my Currently Workbooks for 2024 (WHOA) very soon. If you are on my newsletter, you can get information about when they’re in my shop. I am hoping to build a community online where we can have art hangouts and work on our workbooks together next year. That will be in the newsletter. Anywho! This weekend was a busy one. We had a Mother-Son dance that was so much fun. I also did some meal prepping this weekend. Here’s some motivation to do some chop therapy!

Here are my Intentions for the Week-
Here’s what happened this week: My Everyday Life Week 38
Mother-son dance! I wore my Mom’s purse for the occasion.
The way boys dance today is incredible.
Last Sunday we were in Nashville. Last breakfast at the Waffle House!
Mom & Dad watching the game. Mom does art while watching.
Checking out the view from my niece’s apartment.
Not a good meal before you get on a plane. Ooooof.

I added more food journals in my Esty shop. I sold out of them after I shared about my weight loss journey and how they helped.
THANK YOU!
A lot of people showed interest in seeing what I eat so I am going to roll out every meal for you! We will start with my favorite Gluten-Free Breakfast Ideas so you can see what I have in my rotation. Like I said in my weight loss post, I stopped eating gluten this past year.
I also changed my eating times. I used to have breakfast between 7-9AM and now I opt for a late breakfast somewhere between 10-11AM. I make a big breakfast so that I am full until around 2/3PM and then I have some type of snack or small lunch. My breakfasts are usually a heavier meal and I like it that way. Working from home makes it easier to eat later. I am grateful for that.
To recap I eat:
I don’t eat bread.
Let’s talk about Trader Joe’s hash browns for a second. These things have saved my life. I FREAKING LOVE THEM.
One of the things I am working on with my relationship with food is abandoning the idea that certain foods are BAD. There has been a lot of judgment in my family growing up over potatoes. You are a holy person if you sacrifice potatoes on your plate at a restaurant for greens. For many many years, I was convinced that potatoes were bad. Then I did Whole 30 and I learned that my body likes potatoes and they’re only an issue for me if I have them in addition to bread and ALL THE BAKED GOODS.
