No More Grains :(

So I have been filling very Nasues and not myself for the last couple of weeks. My cousin who is a Chiropractor came into to town and long story short we discovered that I have a grain intolerance. So all I can now have our potatoes and Quinoa is fine. I can still also have fruits, veggies, beans, light meat, light corn flour and light dairy.

The recipes on here will be changing soon! This has been a little difficult getting use to. I am only on my third day and I still have cravings like pizza and tortillas. I am sure that if this makes me feel better in the long run then it will be easier to fallow.

Hope you enjoy the new unique recipes to come!

Have a Healthy Happy Day!!
