Feeling good!

We'll, we've been pretty successful in completely cutting out the stuff where we scored a 1, 2, or 3 in the sensitivities and are both feeling pretty good because of it. I don't feel foggy-brained, I didn't hit my usual 2-3 pm energy slump, and my GI tract is not being grumpy. The hubby is feeling good and has noticed some skin issues he's had since he was a teen ager are beginning to ease up. It's definitely a good and happy thing!

We have, however, decided to make one small concession. For the items where we scored a zero, we will avoid but not completely eliminate them. This opens our eating options up substantially, as well as making it a little easier if we go out to eat.

So tonight's dinner will be my standard beef pot roast. One roast, some of Auntie Arwen's Blatantly Gahaaarlic Salt, a sprinkle of dried onions and a small handful of dried celery, dried carrots, dried parsnips and dried onions. On the side we'll be having baked potatoes. Or mashed, if I feel like futzing around with making cornstarch thickened gravy. Oh wait, mashed potatoes require milk, so scratch that. Guess the potatoes will be baked or roasted.

I don't really know what I'll do for a green veggie, since we're out of lettuce for salad, and besides that, I haven't come up with an acceptable non-dairy salad dressing. (We like ranch, and ranch variations, and parmesan peppercorn.) Maybe some spinach. I dunno.
