No Cardboard Gluten Free Sandwich

Who ever said, "Gluten free tastes like cardboard",

 hasn't had a Snacking Squirrel sandwich!

Layered high and stacked with the finest ingredients 

Poached egg, organic ham, kale and tomato makes the perfect brunch-wich

All between 2 delicious slices of gluten free bread!

Pretty Pink Sammie

Sometimes my lunches are a little unusual...

Poached egg and chicken sandwich with kale, tomato, and thick slices of red onion!

Delicious

It was difficult to eat because the ingredients were
stacked between two little slices of gluten free bread

Question: What are some of your favorite sandwiches?

Breakfast Fit for A Queen

I eat like a queen for breakfast. And I've learnt along the
 way that in doing so I'd end up treating myself as royalty.

Poached eggs with black pepper, sliced cooked ham, hashbrowns with
ketchup, burnt gluten free toast haha, and Saunder's Saskatoon Jam. 

I feel grateful to have been blogging for as long as I've been. Although I don't
post as much or as often as I often wished to, I feel inspired by my journey with/as
 "Snacking Squirrel" for how it shaped my own opinions of myself during a time in
my life where I was so broken and lost. I was desperate with a way out, or a way
into I should say, to find purpose and hope when I felt trapped with no way out. 

Today I am growing stronger and healing the hurts inside. I am becoming more
confident, honest, open and most of all, teachable in my process of recovery/growth.

I love you all and I am so blessed to have you share my life with
 me; without which I wouldn't be speaking to you right now, today.

Love to you and to yours xo

"Sprouted" Chicken Sandwich

A classic chicken breast sandwich, "sprouting" with healthy toppings

Glutino Multigrain Brown Rice Bread toasted and topped with mustard to start

I lightly fried up a whole egg with 1/4 cup of egg whites 

mixed in with sauteed spinach before piling on pea shoots/pea

 sprouts, topped with 3 lean slices of oven roasted chicken breast

Finally, two of my favourite things, kosher dill pickle slices and 

raw red onion, garnished the plate to make fore a scrumptious lunch

 Question: Would you consider yourself a clean 

eater, in which the majority of the meals you eat are

centered around clean, whole and natural ingredients?

Dilly Chicken Salad Sandwich with Egg and Avocado

A fresh coast mouthful sure to curb any sandwich craving

Topped with my favorite, a runny organic free-range egg

I toasted up a slice of gluten free bread and layered on fresh organic baby 

spinach, avocado, sauerkraut, dill-chicken salad with sliced red grapes, red onion, 

tomato, and topped it off with an egg seasoned with black pepper and cayenne

Close-ups tell the whole story... Food porn at it's finest ;)

Definitely one of the best lunches I've made myself in 

a long time. So colorfully vibrant and equally nutritious!

Summer Salad Sandwich

The lazier I am the more creative I become...

This open-faced "breakfast" sandwich has everything I love

Gluten free bread topped with wild salmon salad, chickpeas, avocado, red pepper, 

red onion, dill pickles, a poached egg, spinach, yellow mustard, and black pepper

Because hey, it's SUMMER and sometimes your mind does weird sh*t haha

Sandwich and Candy

Lunch started out pretty healthy...

Gluten free brown rice sandwich

With kale, egg, smoked chicken breast, red onion and mustard

Love my runny yolks

But I was still hungry when I finished and reached for a not-so-conventional snack...

Peanut M&M's candy!

Had more than a couple handfuls

But you know what, I was full after so I guess 

candy-coated chocolate was just what I needed ;)

Bacon and Eggs

As fatty and unappealing as bacon may 

seem, I love the sound of it sizzling in the pan

With the crackle of fresh cracked eggs over heat

The smell of bacon's aroma filling the kitchen is 

enough to make most non-vegetarian tummy's growl

Time to serve it up!

Bacon and Eggs with Toast

It's whats for breakfast/brunch this fine Sunday

Question: What did you eat this morning?

Homemade Egg Salad Sandwich

Going old school with the traditional Egg Salad Sandwich

2 hard boiled eggs with Miracle Whip, onion, salt, and pepper

Nothing special about it but it's an often 

overlooked dish that we remember at picnics

Paired with kale and gluten free toast

Was it ever good though! Highly satisfying and 

was worth pre-boiling eggs early in the morning

Question: When was the last time you had egg salad?
