It was requested of me this morning in my household that I stop making chicken for a while. Everyone is so sick of chicken here. I promised that I would try to oblidge and so I decided to see what I could do with lamb for dinner tonight. I have never cooked lamb so I am very excited to be making this meal. My neighbor is from Senegal and he frequently cooks lamb because it is a staple meat in his country. I enjoy eating lamb when I am at his house for dinner but I have never gotten around to making it myself. Since I have decided to use the crockpot all week I looked for a recipe to guide me through cooking lamb in the crockpot. The following recipe is from About.com Southern Food - Lamb Stew Recipe by Diana Rattray. This crockpot recipe has only a few ingredients and is easy to prepare, which is key for the busy candida dieter. This recipe is entirely candida diet friendly without any adaptation.

[...] I am feeling pretty good about everything. It is sometimes a struggle to prepare yeast free food every single day but I am determined to make this work. I pulled out the Crockpot this morning to prepare dinner and now I will go home to a fully cooked, tasty yeast free meal. I am trying to prepare the bulk of dinner in the morning before I go to work to make things easier in the evening. Most of us do not want to cook after a long day of work so I am hoping that doing it in the morning will make things easier. I am however a morning person so I understand that this may not feel easier to many non-morning people out there. Well I hope that all of my fellow candida dieters are doing well. If any of you have tips for preparing yeast free meals in a hurry we would love to hear from you. Please leave your ideas in the comments section. Be well, Tennille.
