I continue to experiment with my allergy-free foods. Last night for dinner I made pancakes. I made our usual buttermilk pancakes for the family…whole wheat, dairy and eggs. Doesn’t quite cut it for me. It was a rice day for me, so I tried rice pancakes. I didn’t really have a recipe. I just kind …

Meal Plans Week of 2-10-13
Good morning. A new day. A new week. New diet. New supplements. Let the fun begin. I want to start this post with some good news. I’ve been completely Miralax free and synthroid free for a week!!! No more synthetics/chemicals going into my body. I’m so excited. The adjustment isn’t easy. But I’m doing it. …
Candy Bar Ice Cream (gluten free, egg free, nut free, dairy free option)
I had some raw cream to use up this week. Of course that means ice cream 🙂 So the kids and I made a fresh batch yesterday. With all of my food restrictions I was wondering what flavor to make, besides plain old vanilla again. I had just made some crunchy crumble the day before. And …
Crunchy Crumble (gluten free, dairy free, egg free, nut free, corn free)
I made it through a full day on my rotational diet (yay!!), eating three meals that weren’t exactly the same 🙂 Then evening rolled around. And I wondered what in the world I was going to eat? I have to have a snack before bed. If I don’t my stomach will growl all night, and …
Single Serving Simple Pot Pie (gluten free, egg free, dairy free, nut free)
I’ve just started my rotational diet. And I have a trial four day rotation that I’ve laid out. It’s still a work in progress, but it’s a start. So today I’m allowed rice as my starch/grain, lard as my fat and beans and beets as my vegetables. How do I make that appealing all day long? …
Meal Plans Week of 2-3-13
I’m pausing just for a moment here to gather myself. It’s been quite a whirlwind here lately. Last week I got all of my test results, and I’m still trying to process it all/decide how to proceed. In addition to that the whole family has been sick…and there may be more to come. It started …
Chocolate Chip Scones (dairy free, egg free, gluten free, nut free)
I got all of my food allergy results a few days ago. So what does that mean? Let the experimentation begin! I made two batches of chocolate chip scones this week. Both are egg free. One is also dairy and gluten free. Both are delicious! And very easy to make. Honestly, the dairy and gluten …
Monthly Goals – February 2013
I was ready to leave January behind along with all of its sickness. Then February started with a round of the stomach flu for most of the family. Hopefully we’ll all be doing a little better today. And hopefully we’re done with the flu for the winter now! Another month. Another set of goals. A …
The Results Are In…
After years of experimenting, going to various doctors and trying to figure things out on my own I recently decided to see a more holistic doctor. She ran a lot of tests to get a better idea of what is going on in my body. I got all of the results yesterday. To say that …
