Tosca Reno: Eating Bird Food

Protein Overnight Oats

Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats (old fashioned oatmeal)
2/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 scoop vanilla brown rice protein powder
1/2 T chia seeds
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 strawberries, sliced
1 teaspoon almond butter

Methods
Combine all ingredients in a small container, stir until the protein powder is completely mixed in, seal with a lid and place in the fridge overnight. You’ll notice that the protein powder, oats and chia seeds soak up a lot of the liquid so you may want to add a little more almond milk or water before serving. Top with an almond butter and strawberry slices. Enjoy!
Tosca Reno: Eating Bird Food

Here is a recipe that I'm going to try. I found it on a blog called www.eatingbirdfood.com. I'm excited to try it. Being Vegan for breakfast and lunch is easy, but supper is presenting challenges. For one by late afternoon I'm feeling tired and don't even feel like cooking, so out comes the chicken breasts or burgers and off Kevin goes to cook some hamburgers, which I really appreciate cause right now in the middle of cancer treatments I can use all the help I can get.
I started my second round yesterday and spent most of the day in the hospital getting the new drug infused, then came home with another drug that infuses over 48 hours. The side effects were fast in coming. My fingers are very sensitive to cold as well as my mouth. It's like I'm being burned. And when ever I start eating the nerves in my mouth go crazy and it really hurts for the first few bites. So for the next 4 months I won't be eating anything that comes from a fridge or freezer unless its sat on the counter to get to room temperature. BORING!!!! And this morning as I was reading my scriptures an overwhelming feeling of nausea came over me. It only lasted a few minutes though and hasn't come back. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
On Monday I went to my first Yoga class at the Canadian Yoga Institute and it was great. I'm taking a gentle yoga class, with 3 other ladies who are suffering from various chronic illnesses. And even though the whole class is done in a chair, I felt it when I got home. So either Yoga is amazing or I'm just pathetic. I think Yoga is amazing. My brother has Gout and about 15 years ago he started yoga and it has saved his life. One of the best things about this Yoga class is that my instructor is a Vegetarian and has been for 15 years. She looks amazing. I will be getting more info from her in the near future. If you would like to know more about the Canadian Yoga Institute go to www.yogacanada.org/
Today I am so appreciative of extended family, who make this journey so much easier. I am grateful for many things.
