I got allergy testing done today.  I already knew that I was allergic to every plant, dust, mold, and tree out there.  My doctor told me that I should frame my allergy test results because the entire list is highlighted.  I got [...]

Rajun' Cajun

Before I met Luvy, I had never even had Mexican.  My diet was boring and BLAH!  He introduced me to Mexican, Indian, and all kinds of other exciting flavors and foods.  Now, I am a self-proclaimed foodie.  I love food.  I love to smell it, taste it, and explore. For the first time since the [...]

There is no place like home

You Say Tomato

December 20, 2010

I have decided to not start the rotation diet fully until after Christmas.  It is going to make it easier on my family and myself during the holidays.  After I almost lost my mind, my wonderful dietician, Sandra, e-mailed me and made me feel much better about the situation.  Sometimes I just need someone level-headed [...]
