This spring after numerous tests my doctor concluded that I have a gluten intolerance. So, taking his advice, I cut all gluten from my diet for 5 weeks and the pain I had been experiencing vanished. Just to test it out I ate 3 Girl Scout cookies and, sure enough, I was almost immediately doubled over in pain. Cutting out gluten takes some serious creativity and patience. My husband started doing a lot of research on nutrition and we watched a lot of documentaries.
Fast forward a few months and our family has adopted a mostly vegan lifestyle. I say mostly because if our kids really want something every now and then I will not deprive them of it. After all, moderation is key with anything. Oh.. and I really love to eat Andy's frozen custard whenever we visit home.
The idea behind this blog is simply to share what I have found that works and what doesn't. I am still learning and have a very long way to go.
My Goal: To provide my family with healthy, nutritious food and NOT have to listen to whining and nitpicking throughout and entire meal.
