Arepas!!!

I have been reading and reading and reading and trying to figure out what to eat! 

We have had a smoothie a day now for about a week.  Usually we have fruit smoothies in the morning, since "they say" that is the best time to eat your fruit (fruit should be eaten alone and not combined with other foods according to food combining peoples :)  I have primarily been following (more or less) the recipes in the free recipe book from http://natural-fertility-info.com/fertility-diet.

Additionally, since I also need to eat gluten and yeast free I have been trying to find some bread ideas.  I found a recipe for Yeast and Gluten Free Pitas that looks yummy.  But I was super excited to see other gluten free folks eating arepas!  I love arepas (if you hadn't guess already :)  Unfortunately with thyroid issues I can't eat arepas often, but they will certainly be an enjoyable treat when I do!  Here is an awesome link for information on how to make arepas http://glutenfreegirl.com/arepas/  I definitely recommend the PAN flour.  It is always turns out wonderful arepas for me.  The best price for PAN flour that I have found is through  ww.thelatinproducts.com/
