Going without the foods on my "sensitive to" list has been interesting. Some things have been harder to give up, like almonds, and others have been easier. I'm finding new and interesting recipes. I did not know mayonnaise has lemon and mustard in it. Both things I cannot have. For the first time I made my own mayo. Had I known how easy it is I would have been making my own for a long time. So much better without all the additives. I can flavor it up any way I want it. I also had to make my own salad dressing. I do this quite often anyway, but I can't use parsley, paprika, lemon, mustard, etc. It took a while to find a good ranch dressing mix that didn't require these items. I tweaked it some and think the dressing turned out not too bad. I won't say it is as good but if you can't have the real thing this will do! I am using sunflower seeds more, both as seeds and sunflower butter. Today I made sunflower crackers. Not as good as my almond crackers but still quite good. It's been fun tracking down new ideas. I am in no danger of starving anyway!
