My newest quick and easy breakfast. Non-dairy yogurt, a piece of cheese, and two tangerines. The tangerines smell and taste envigorating. A dash of Reiki, too, naturally. This breakfast keeps me going until lunch.
What’s your fast, easy, satisfying breakfast?
P.S. We have space in our Thursday and Friday night weekly group support meetings. Come get your empowered relationship with food!

To know where you are, where you’ve been, and where you intend to go in your relationship with food, a journal is recommended in step 1 of the program.
We have a history with food, personally and collectively. Today I’m asking you to appreciate the good times, the wins that brought you to where you are today.
Not knowing where our relationship with food is going and at the same time intending that it is going to be good is how we can love the mystery. At the same time, you recognize your fears surrounding your future, release them, and gain insight. Remember to be gentle with yourself, to observe, then let go. Don’t put yourself on trial and convict yourself.
Remember to put a date on what you write, collage, or record so you can look back. There’s lots of fun and insight later on.
Sincerely,
Gina Briganti
Certified Nutrition Consultant, founder of the Food As Ally program.

What does your brain want to eat? Your body? How about your emotions? Is your spirit reaching for a particular summer vegetable or fruit?
Listening to ourselves about what we need on every level is essential to living in alignment and is a major focus of the Food As Ally program.
Next meeting is Friday evening and there’s still time to register. Can’t make it Friday? There’s an in-person meeting every Wednesday and a Zoom meeting every Friday.
Take your first or next step by joining our small group meeting.
Sincerely,

Eggs, toasted gluten-free bread (or waffle, English muffin, or bagel), and tea turned out to be the perfect combination, I experimented with my favorite smoothie or hot cereal, but neither of them were filling enough. What would you do if you were on the phone with a customer service agent and you heard their stomach growl? Loud. Those customers were either polite or it wasn’t as obvious as I thought.
What’s interesting is that peanut butter and crackers are mainly protein and gluten-free grain…so are eggs and gluten-free toast. Pumpkin Rooibos tea from November is different because I drink iced nettle tea this time of year as nettle helps with my seasonal allergies. Most interesting to me is that I don’t need as many supplements as I used to.
Most important of all is I enjoy making and eating this meal and it keeps me full until I can relax with a smoothie (my breakfast of choice for years is now lunch every other day), or whatever my body asks for in the afternoon.
Journalling is part of the program because of insights like this – realizing that when I started checking in with my body about what I need, protein and carbs took the lead and there is healing happening as a result.

What I did that led me to create Food As Ally was…
I turned clean eating into a cross between dieting and food snobbery.
What I learned is…
My body tells me when it wants salad and that I can trust my taste hunger or emotional hunger when it is asking for cookies because I know that my body will tell me when enough is enough.
You can, too.
Wishing you a smooth day,
Gina

There’s a rule about not trying new recipes for holidays, but I trust Sophia from Veggies Don’t Bite and am going to make her pumpkin pie recipe.
Remember to add Reiki.
Do you have a favorite pumpkin pie recipe?
