Hi everyone! Time for the gluten-free, low FODMAP weekly menu July 11! So my digestive system is actually doing a little better on the low FODMAP diet (still also gluten, totally dairy and casein free except for the Parmesan). I’ve learned a lot more about food this week, too: basically all my spice blends have garlic or onion powder in them – so I need...
Hi everyone! Hope you are having a fun summer and enjoying the 4th of July weekend! We’ll be grilling up a couple of bison burgers and making homemade fries! So yum! And of course it is time for the weekly menu again. This week I’m going to add another layer of restrictions to our diet because I’m having a lot of digestive issues lately. Last...
Hi everyone! It’s time for the weekly menu May 16! Hope you had a great week. Last week was super positive for me having earned an ‘A’ in both my Intro to Bioinformatics & Coding classes at JHU. Yay! Part of the challenge has been eating really clean to keep my gut bacteria as happy as possible, exercising to keep stress down, and surrounding myself...
Hi friends! So this is always my favorite time of the year! I love April and spring and it’s my birthday month, but most of all I love the Austin Food and Wine Festival. We’ve been going to this event before it became “this event” (it used to be local before C3 took it to the next level) and way before I ever knew anything...
Hello friends! It’s that time again – coming up with a game plan for the week to get us through this diet restricted life in the easiest way possible. So it’s time for the weekly menu March 28! Because my body is super sensitive, I have to eat and live in a way that reduces chemical exposures that stress out my immune system. As well...
Hello friends, it’s time to plan out the weekly menu for March 21. How was your week? Were you on Spring Break, too? Do anything exciting? SXSW? We had a nice relaxing week enjoying our amazing dinner at Counter 3.Five.VII – it was so fancy. We tried the five course menu and they adjusted some of the dishes to be gluten and dairy free for...
The weekly menu Feb 15 is ready! So I’ve finished up my third week back at school online at Johns Hopkins University. And it has been a little overwhelming at times getting my bearings but also wonderful. Really wonderful. Because I like to learn and it’s all about learning something new – especially now since my brain is truly working again and the fog has...
Hello friends! Time for the weekly menu Jan 25, 2016. We are having a good start to the new year. Hope you had a good week and great start to the new year, too! There was a period of my life that I was in a very bad place after my mom’s passing but before the toxic mold exposure. Although I was in grad school...
Happy New Year and Food Choices in 2016!!! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and bountiful 2016! New Year’s Day for Brett & me is all about football (because yesterday wasn’t enough) and eating “traditional foods” for good luck, health and prosperity! Black-eyed pea salad = good luck Greens = money and prosperity Pork/crumbled bacon = progress We’ve been making black-eyed pea dishes for New Year’s Day...
Here’s to A Happy New Year! I can’t believe this is the last casein free, gluten free weekly menu of 2015! It has gone by so fast. I’ve had a lot of fun coming up with the weekly menus and tracking our journey, trying new recipes, meats (bison) and veggies (kohlrabi) while learning and aspiring to make better food choices. And I’ve met a lot...
