Kristi and Paleo

You have heard of Julie and Julia right? Well, I am not about to embark on cooking every Julia Child's recipe - that is for sure! I recently learned that I am allergic to... everything... There is hope that I will be able to add a few grains back into my diet eventually, but for the most part I am going cold turkey off of all grains, all dairy, yeast and brewers yeast (and yes that IS a big deal - it means no vinegars, no mustard's, ketchup, pickles etc which means NO salad dressing) among other things.
So... I am going to be doing a LOT of Paleo type recipes on here coming up! I will still post super yummy family favorites (all the while trying not to cry!). I am trying to be open minded and positive about this! I will certainly be eating healthy, because all I can eat is fruit, vegetables, nuts (though not peanuts - which I am allergic to - plus they are a legume anyway just so you know), and seeds (and a few other things here and there!). It also is a chance for me to explore other cultures and the eating habits they have!
So... stay tuned, I will have some really awesome recipes coming up! My favorite new site is Elana's Pantry! Though there are still things on there I cannot have - there are quite a few I can! Hooray! And thank you Elana! Today I made her Lemon Kale Chips and they were a delicious addition to my lunch!
