Anyone else having a lazy Sunday? Instead of cook Anyone else having a lazy Sunday? Instead of cooking tonight, I used leftover pork and turned it into a salad 👊😉 Need a Vegan Ranch Dressing?? Ranch Dressing Recipe Approximation 1/4 c. Homemade Mayo (homemade is key) 2 Garlic Cloves 1 Handful of Basil 1 tsp Oregano 1 tsp Rosemary 1/4 tsp Himalayan or Sea Salt Squeeze of Lemon Juice 1 tbsp Water 1/4 Jalapeno (I also like to add chives) Place all ingredients in a deep cup and blend with an immersion blender until smooth. A food processor or high-powered blender may also be used, but we prefer our immersion blender 😘 #lowglutamate #reidprogram #leftovers #eatyourgreens #whatsfordinner #feedthemwhatyoueat #reidmoms
What are you all making for dinner? I am looking What are you all making for dinner? I am looking for inspiration! We've had some version of this meal on repeat over the last few weeks bc the flavors are pretty darn good, and it makes for even better leftovers. Tonight was marinated and grilled chicken, tomato, zucchini, red onion, served with chopped lettuce, @gaeaoliveoil olives, diced avocado, and kale microgreens. I added feta to my husbands 😉 Chicken & Veggie Marinade 5 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp @edenfoods dijon mustard 1/2 tsp @spicelyorganics garlic granules 1 tsp Himalayan or sea salt 1/2 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp dried basil 1/4 tsp dried thyme 1/4 tsp ground cumin Juice from two limes I would love to see what you all have been eating (and I know other REID moms would as well 😉). Feel free to tag me! Only one more day until the weekend!! #lowglutamate #reiddiet #reidprogram #whatsfordinner #greekfood #dumpthejunk #fiber #whole30 #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreedairyfree #marinade

I am trying to do a better job of sharing some of I am trying to do a better job of sharing some of our favorite products that save me much needed time. Today, I want to introduce y'all to my sweet Charlotte/Blowing Rock friend, Stephanie, of @sweetssyrup. Stephanie created a clean wholesome elderberry syrup for families looking for immune support during cold, flu, and allergy season. Stephanie went above and beyond and even considered REID moms when formulating her products! She was sure to eliminate any additives/preservatives that could increase glutamate levels. ❤️ Not only do I admire her, but we also LOVE her products. Before she started her company, I had to dedicate a few hours every few months to create our own. Her Sweet’s Syrup was the only refrigerated item I had on ice for our 13-hour move to Florida 🤣 You can find Sweet’s Syrup at many health food stores throughout the Carolinas and Georgia or online at https://www.sweetssyrup.com/. In addition to her syrup, she offers a DIY kit where you can use your local honey and/or adjust honey ratios based on your needs 😉. Disclaimer: due to ginger and elderberries' ability to stimulate the immune system, those with ASD, PANS, or PANDAS type symptoms may not tolerate elderberry syrup well, especially when used frequently. I've realized you can't make a blanket statement for any health issue. I know many that are sensitive and many more that are not (it also ties back to glutamate) 😘 #elderberrysyrup #immunesupport #fall #reidprogram #lowglutamate #sweets #nourishedblessings
Here a the deal, while I don't have all of the ans Here a the deal, while I don't have all of the answers, I have a strong passion for bringing awareness to the glutamate connection to many of our health issues. There are days when I question why am I still doing this? Why am I here? Why am I not focusing all of my energy on enjoying where we are today. I don't want to dwell on our past. Instead, our past simply changed our lives, and I'm genuinely passionate about it. I'm not coming here from the authoritative standpoint of ”do this; do that.” RATHER, Holy shit, not only did this help, it changed our lives, and I want to scream it from the mountaintops! As a mom, I just want this community to know that not only do I get it, but there is hope. I get the feelings of isolation, confusion, judgment, and fear. The WTF feelings of how the heck am I realistically supposed to do this AND life. It's not just about diet; it's so much more, and I get that. Just because there is a lot to navigate, it doesn't mean that there is too much to have hope. #autismrecoveryisreal #autismmom #lowglutamate #hope #healingispossible #faith #autismdiet #reallife #notanexpert #asd #autismhealing #gfcf #specialneedsmom #specialneeds #healing #dumpthejunk #betternotperfect
