Damn, damn, damn! SO the chicken in a pot came out good, but I could taste the damn chicken as a chicken. Blech....So I ate it with sweet potato & onion to drown out the taste of the chicken. It looks like I may just have to become vegan. Sigh...The food journey/evolution continues...
Husband enjoyed it so I can separate our leftovers :)
Lots of Hugs!!!

Kale Chips
So I tried my hand at kale chips yesterday. I took a recipe from one of Becky's Blogs http://mustfollowrecipes.blogspot.com/search/label/dairy%20free. I keep trying to link stuff on here, but my computer is not cooperating! Anyway, I wasn't quite sure what to expect because I've never eaten kale - I've only heard how it's really good for you. The first batch I baked for 15 minutes. At first I was like 'Uh, I think this is right?!?!' I thought they were too crisp so I cooked the second batch for 10 minutes. That was a HUGE difference in texture/taste. Turns out I liked my first batch better. The kale shrinks so much that they become paper thin & literally melt in your mouth. I dig it & will make this on a weekly basis. I figure I at least get some greens in somehow right?
Tonight I am making this recipe - Chicken & Potatoes in the oven. I pulled it from this Blog: http://gfcfblog.blogspot.com/. I am using sweet potato for me & regular potatoes for my husband. I am hoping I don't taste the chicken. For those of you who don't know - every time I eat a piece of an animal (red meat, chicken, turkey, etc.) it literally tastes like it was just killed & skinned, plucked whatever. I am one of the lucky few who has discovered that I am just a sensitive person when it comes to my body. Like for example, if I eat an apple, I taste the soil, the stem & whatever goes into growing an apple. I am coming to terms with all this & am hoping that in time by eating well & healthy that my taste buds will change for the better.
I kind of want to start a new blog about my GF/DF/SF journey. What do y'all think?!?!? I'll post later about my chicken dish.
Peace!

Much Better :D
Ok, I just re-read my last post & WAAAAAAAAAH (what a baby I was....) But such is life & all things that go with it. I really appreciated Becky commenting :) I kind of logged off for a few days & realized that things do get better.
Now for anyone who knows me, please don't pass out when I say this. I am really starting to like cooking. Like I've said before...Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! For now, I am grilling & baking a lot of chicken. I don't like red meat so much, but I know how to pan cook chicken where it tastes really good. A little onion & eggplant & voila, a good nutritious meal.
So it does turn out that I am on a low carb diet. No wheat, dairy or sugar. Lots of veggies & lean meats. I still haven't ruled out fruit - I love fruit! But, it's almost November & I am not sure what fruit is in season. Making it to Whole Foods is journey as there are none close to where I live. Anyway, thanks again Becky http://boysrulemylife.blogspot.com/ for the encouraging words! You rock!!!
