broccoli soup

While the rest of my family got to eat a great meal a wonderful neighbor brought over, I made broccoli "cheese" soup for my dinner. It was good, too! And, for dessert, carrot cake frosted with a powdered sugar and vanilla coconut milk glaze.

hamburger bowl

Here's just a quick creation I came up with, with what we had on hand for lunch today. Not amazing, but not bad.
Cook hamburger with no-salt organic seasoning i get from Costco.
Cook rice noodles (I used macaroni shape, but anything would work).
Add in peas and some Daiya cheddar cheese shreds.  (The "cheese" is a new product since I was last dairy and soy free. It seems really good so far).
That's it. Not fancy, but I ate lunch today, which seems to be quite an accomplishment some days.

another diet

Well Baby #2 is having tummy problems now (at 2 1/2 weeks old), so at least that means more recipe ideas coming. We're starting by eliminating dairy, soy, eggs, nuts, wheat, and fish.
