About Me

My name is Denise and I have an autoimmune condition of the thyroid called Hashimoto's Disease. This diagnosis brings a different set of challenges for each patient although most of us have to make major changes in our diet. Until recently, my diet was high in gluten, dairy, soy and corn. In fact, I didn't even know the names of 75% of the items in the fresh food isle! That's been the biggest obstacle on my quest to wellness. It is the reason I started this blog; to find and share recipes without those inflammatory ingredients. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! If you have a favorite recipe of your own to share, please drop me a note via email or through my facebook page. Thanks for checking out the blog -- I look forward to hearing from you!

Challenge Day #2



My husband says that I find something I like and I can have it everyday lol... actually, I'm a lazy cook.  The kitchen has never been my favorite place so I l-o-v-e leftovers!!!

Breakfast: Protein Shake
[1/2 cup water, 1  tbsp protein powder, 1 banana, 5 cherries, 3 strawberries (all frozen), 1/4 tsp pure vanilla, 1 large leaf of collared greens, and ice.]

Snack: Sweet Breakfast Sausage, Turkey
[Dr. Myers recipe, pg 256]

Lunch: Pseudo Waldorf Chicken Salad & Roasted Veggies
[So, the 'pseudo' part is without the raisins or nuts... otherwise, my Waldorf salad!

Veggies:  zucchini squash, yellow squash, carrots and butternut squash]

Snack: Cinnamon Apple Crisp
[Dr. Myers recipe pg 265]

Dinner: Beef
[Yes... basically, just some cooked ground beef! We had to run an errand after work and got caught in traffic so we stopped for a bite to eat.  That's all I could find on the menu.]

Snack:  Banana
