This Week’s Candida Diet Menu – July 25, 2010

So it’s back to work tomorrow for me. I am really excited but I am a bit nervous, not really about the job but about work-life balance. It has been quite a while since I have had to juggle working outside the home and the children. This can be a daunting task as many of you probably [...]

Yeast Free Cream of Broccoli Soup – Candida Diet Recipe

It took me quite a while to catch on to how tasty creamy soups were. I have spent the majority of my life eating chicken noodle soup because I was always to scared to try other types of soup. I have however become a lot more soup adventurous in more recent years. Cream of mushroom, [...]

Yeast Free Taco Salad – Candida Diet Recipe

One of my favorite fast food lunches/dinners is Wendy’s Southwest Taco Salad. I am always full after eating this salad which comes equipped with a bed of iceberg lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cheddar cheese, tortilla chip strips, sour cream and small cup of chili. It sounds very simplistic but I really do enjoy it. I do prefer the taco [...]

Yeast Free Spaghetti Squash – Candida Diet Recipe

The picture to the left may look like spaghetti but it is not, it is spaghetti squash and it is a great choice for the candida diet. I first discovered spaghetti squash back in 2006 when I was trying to navigate through what I could actually eat on the candida diet. I decided to [...]

Yeast Free Italian Style Tuna Salad – Candida Diet Recipe

It has occurred to me that cheating on the candida diet can perhaps inspire new yeast free recipes. This Yeast Free Italian Style Tuna Salad recipe is the result of my cheating on the diet while on a recent trip to Massachusetts. I was so hungry after completing my tour of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum that I decided [...]

This Week’s Candida Diet Menu – July 18, 2010

I realize that it is extremely bad blogging etiquette to just stop posting, after posting quite regularly, for an entire week without even a heads up. I do apologize for just abandoning ship last week but it was not at all intentional. A nasty stomach virus rendered me completely useless from last Friday to Monday. I [...]

Low Carbohydrate Vegetables for the Candida Diet

My recipes here on Yeast Free Living contain all vegetables allowed on the candida diet. This includes those vegetables which most candida diet guidelines suggest should be eaten in moderation. Although I have fared pretty well keeping these vegetables in my diet without exacerbating my candidiasis symptoms, I realize that some candida dieters may not be this lucky. Consuming [...]

Yeast Free Deviled Eggs – Candida Diet Recipe

Deviled Eggs are always a big hit at gatherings and are very easy to make candida diet friendly. Actually the only reason that most traditional deviled eggs are not okay for the candida diet is due the type of mayonnaise that most people use. Most commercially available mayonnaise and salad dressings contain vinegar and/or [...]

This Week’s Candida Diet Menu – July 4, 2010

I hope that everyone had a great holiday weekend. So I guess it is back to cooking today after using up all of the leftovers from our 4th of July barbecue yesterday. Using leftovers is actually really important for the candida diet. Since we have to cook nearly everything from scratch and convenient foods are [...]

Yeast Free Hamburgers – Candida Diet Recipe

What makes a good hamburger? I was never really too picky about how I seasoned my hamburgers because any burger tastes good when topped with American cheese and ketchup and served on a potato roll. It was not until I had to eat cheese-less, bun-less and sometimes ketchup-less burgers that I really cared about what [...]
