Yeast Free Living

I am feeling much better today.  My cravings have subsided and I am once again adjusting to being on the candida diet.  I am so happy it is Friday and I can slow down a bit this weekend and do some candida diet planning for next week.  We have a Girl Scout meeting tonight and a basketball game tomorrow but I will avoid making any other commitments in order to sneak in  some yeast free baking time.  I have a few recipes on hand that I am anxious to try out.  These include corn muffins, pumpkin pie and cookies.  Oh boy do I miss cookies.   I am looking forward to a weekend of experimenting in the kitchen.  I have found that being on the candida diet is a lot of experimentation.  You experiment with what foods are causing symptoms, you experiment with new foods, you experiment with different recipes until you finally find something that taste good.   It is a lot of work and requires most of us learning to approach food in a totally different way. 

I will try to post all of my experiments from this weekend.  Wish me luck!  Today’s menu is below.  The kids are very excited for Taco Night.
