Everytime my mom swings by she's dropping me random things. A lot of times, like 2 weeks ago when I was sick, she'll swing through and bake a quick Broccoli and Ham Quiche for me (they are our go-to, we store them in the fridge (they're good for at least 4 days) if we don't have the time or energy to cook breakfast in the near future), the time before that, some pickled herring for me to drop off to my grandma, after thanksgiving, a turkey carcass for me to make broth, and about a month ago, ...
Elimination Diet Recipes; A Month of Allergen Free Food
I've been a bit MIA since Thanksgiving (other than some cookie posts)....didn't mean to I promise. I was neck deep in garland, and LED Christmas lights with a full fridge (and I mean FULL! ….Turkey, two whole chickens, green beans for an allergen free green bean casserole, and more) when I decided that I was going to help my father-in-law do an elimination diet.

My sister, who can have peanut butter, was over so I asked her to help me and taste test to see if it actually tasted the same as the peanuty version. Apparently it does! Her ...

There is no title that will give this recipe justice....seriously.

My FIL loves spaghetti squash, onions, and mushrooms and I personally was determined to get him to eat some greens ...
