Almond bread

Hey there,

I know, I know. I've been gone for a very long time. There has been some personal family matters that have kept me busy. Not only that but the tendonitis on my right hand has been stopping me from lifting weights and doing other exercise movements. It has also kept me away from the keyboard and mouse.

Just how do you fight depression? Do you think food plays a part on how you feel emotionally? I believe so. Exercise and clean eating keeps me fueled with good energy and keeps me mentally stable. "Endorphins make you happy, happy people just don't shoot their husbands." ~ Elle Woods~ sounds familiar? From the movie Legally Blonde with Reese Whitherspoon. I know, I'm a dork and a sucker for chic flicks.

I have been less active, bored, depressed, and I want to eat junk food, etc. You know how that goes. I have been fighting to not give in to junk food, so I began by cleaning out my pantries from the food I eat when I feel depressed. My demons are: sweet or salty breads, and chips. Damn you carbs! No, I won't stop eating foods I like. I just need to replace the bad ingredients for the good ones.

I finally made peace with the fact that I can't exercise the way that I was used to. Most importantly I decided not to fuel my body with the wrong foods. One bad choice always leads to a worst one, so my venture to a happy tummy, and happy me continues.

I googled almond bread recipes and tada! Jorge appeared into my life. LOL A video popped up so I checked him out. I was thrilled because I had all the ingredients and it was as easy as 1,2,3.

Here's a picture of the bread when I took it out of the oven.

 I poured the mixture onto a 9x13 baking dish because I wanted a flat type of bread.

Yeah, instead of the traditional Naan for my Chicken Curry I had Almond bread instead ;)

Here are the Ingredients:

3 1/2 cup of almond flour
3 eggs
1/4 cup of melted butter
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup of Greek yogurt (FAGE Total)
1/4 tsp of salt

I will let Jorge explain the instructions:

Happy tummy = Happy heart. What's your secret?

Until next time. With love,

Tamara
