Ho Hum

I see that it has been a while since I have posted on the blog. I wish I had tales of adventure and excitement to bring to you... but the last couple weeks have involved a lot of prepping, chopping and dishwashing. Where oh where is a maid/personal chef/assistant when I need one??? Given the significant amount of time I had been spending in the kitchen preparing primarily whole food meals, I am quite surprised at how much more time I am now spending in the kitchen now as I adjust to my allergy free diet. I hope that I will get used to the new way sooner rather than later... and a larger food processor and more powerful hand blender (smoothies) is on its way to aid me in efficiency!

Last week, I spent an hour on the couch with chest tightness and fatigue after eating an apple - something I am not technically allergic to but it is a cross reactor to my very strong timothy hay allergy. So the grand banned total is now 10: barley, beef, chicken, garlic, shrimp, pork, wheat, dairy, soy... and apples! Plus I have my suspicions about turkey... but I haven't had a chance to test it again.

As managing my health has become its own part-time job, I have been trying to eliminate non-essential commitments from my life. One of those things will probably be this blog. I have been enjoying this radical idea of living my life and shutting up about it. I will post pictures to the blog from my phone as there are things worth sharing!
