New Approach to My Recipes

I went to Wendy's with my boss today for lunch (it was my choice). He asked me about my "wheat allergy," and we talked about it a little bit. His knowledge of the body and health is very limited, so I kept it pretty simple.

But I've also had a few other things on my plate in the "allergy" category. I've always admired the bloggers on my list who cook for multiple food intolerances, including the Goddess herself Karina of Gluten Free Goddess, and Sea at the Book of Yum. Well, I'm in the boat now.

[On a different note, I've also been hard at work on "care packages" for people close to me who are new to a journey to preserve delicate intestines. For their protection, I won't say much here, but my heart goes out to them as their new things about food. And, hopefully I can help them see that it's not all gross! It's really a great way to live :) Especially if their bodies feel better!]

Some of my favorite care package items have included:

• Corn Muffin mix
• Blueberry Muffin mix
• Hummus
• Shortbread cookies
• Focaccia bread

It's been about 2 weeks since I decided milk products and I should spend some time apart. This piggybacked on the information I received in my recent stool and allergy test, and so I thought I would give it a try.

Well, I feel loads better when I'm not eating milk products! Amazing :). So, the short of it is, you'll be seeing more dairy free (and soy free) recipes from me.

My hat's off to those of you who live with multiple food intolerances. You are courageous and lovely, and I'm honored to join such a distinguished club.
