Grain-Free, Lemon, Lavendar, and Chamomile Scones
These grain-free scones are moist and delicious, unlike traditional scones. They are perfect for an afternoon snack with a cup of tea. I don’t know about you, but I cannot eat grains every day or for every meal. Grains contain lechtins which are essentially the plant’s way of protecting itself from being over consumed. If eaten in high quantities, they make the stomach feel bloated and uncomfortable and can cause weigh gain. Lechtins are sometimes referred to as anti-nutrients, as studies have found that lectins can reduce the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. For that reason, I like to mix up my dishes between grain-free and grain-full. I use almond flour here, which is lechtin-free.

Good morning, beautiful people!!
Not everyone is meant to be the same size, weight or BMI for their “category”. We are all incredibly unique with different needs. I was not feeling comfortable in my COVID 7, so I set a goal of losing it and I achieved that goal and more, by eating healthy food like this, every day and every meal. No skipping meals, no cutting out of any food groups or types. By eating healthy, whole, foods you can attain your goals! 
This morning oatmeal has:
1/4 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 banana (melted into the oats)
2 tsp coconut brown sugar (low glycemic)
1 Tbsp. half & half
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp. chopped walnuts
1/4 apple chopped
1 strawberry
