Today did not go so well. I was just so angry from the start and complained and moaned all day that things were just not going my way. I was late getting my daughter to school, she didn’t finish her homework so I provoked an argument in the car, yes with a 7 year old. I know I am the adult but I am really not feeling like one today. I just want to curl up somewhere and be left alone. I am sure that I am cranky because of yeast and sugar withdrawal but I just want to feel better already. I have no patience for this today.
Anyway, yesterday’s Crock Pot Ratatouille came out great, but the rest of the household was not too fond of it. It turns out that they are really not eggplant people. I am lucky that I had a dinner guest last night who enjoyed it as much as I did, otherwise I would have had to eat leftovers all day. As a general rule I refrigerate leftovers immediately after cooking and eat them within 24 hours of cooking them as they begin to deteriorate and are conducive to mold growth. It has been suggested in many candida diet resources that ingesting mold from leftovers may add to our candida overgrowth problem. If I do want to save leftovers for more than a day I freeze them right away.
Well even though it was a bad start to the day I will try to regroup and turn my frown upside down. We are doing a yeast free take on chicken cacciatore tonight. This recipe is a piece of cake and one of my favorites! I even used the crock pot this time to make it completely effortless.
