Thankful Thursday

Wow, crazy week! Tropical Storm Hermine blew into town Tuesday morning and had record breaking rain and floods for 2 days. Check out the bloomberg report here! That being said, lots of our friends had flooded apartments, homes, cars, and even schools were flooded. It was madness! We live out by Lake Travis so luckily it did not hit our area as hard. No flooding here, and for that I am extremely thankful!! Its funny, you don't realize how much you depend on certain possessions until they are gone or destroyed. The storm has now moved up toward Oklahoma and Arkansas so for those of you living there, be careful!!

This bridge was just outside of Austin 

Moving onto a lighter note, I am also thankful for health! I've been on a gluten free diet for almost 2 years now and my health has turned around tremendously. No more sickness, stomach pains, and weakness. I feel stronger and will keep focusing on keeping my body strong and well nourished! I wanted to share with you all one of my favorite gluten free foods. KING SOBA NOODLES.

I've made a ton of dishes with these noodles.

So many different flavor combos and all gluten free! Pumpkin Ginger, Sweet Potato Buckwheat, Wakeme Brown Rice, Black Rice, Thai Rice, and more! Check out all the flavors on their websites.

 

A lot of you all asked me where I got them but unfortunately they are hard to find. There is only one store in Austin that carries them. I would LOVE to share them with you all. That being said, I am going to do my own  GLUTEN FREE GIVEAWAY!!  Get excited! I'll send one of you 3 packets of these noodles. You just have to tell me which flavors you want to try. Here's how to enter.
