Censored

I really felt like writing tonight but don’t feel like I can write openly about all of the things going on.  I guess this is the curse of having a blog that I am always talking about and that happens to be connected to my LinkedIn account.  I am just afraid that the wrong person [...]

Happy New Year!

Hi there!  I know it has been a long time, actually about 8 months since I last checked in.  I am so sorry for my abrupt departure but some changes in my life were demanding my undivided attention.  It has been a busy year for me with the highlight being that I finally landed a [...]

Candida Diet Menu – Week of April 10, 2011

Have I hit bottom?  This is a question that I have been asking myself a lot lately.  I am struggling in many areas of my life and I no longer feel like I am really living.  I have been suffering through each day unable to stick to any course of action that I know would offer [...]

Yeast Free Bread

I did not realize how large of a role bread played in my diet until I decided to give it up back in 2006 when I first embarked on the candida diet.   I used to eat bread several times a day and really had a hard time with the transition to no bread.  It wasn’t so much [...]

This Week’s Candida Diet Menu – February 27, 2011

My frustration is at an all time high with my children’s eating habits.  They seem to be in some sort of stage were they don’t want to eat anything but chicken nuggets and french fries.  Their lunch bags often come home from school with 75% of the food that I prepared for them for that [...]

This Week’s Candida Diet Menu – January 2, 2011

Happy New Year!  I can’t believe it is the start of yet another year.  The new year is symbolic for new beginnings and is a perfect opportunity to assess where we are in terms of our dreams and goals and to identify steps we may need to take in order to accomplish them.  We usually call this [...]

This Week’s Candida Diet Menu – December 27, 2010

I really struggled to put this menu together mostly because I have been living completely anti-yeast free for much of December.  Things pretty much feel apart in the beginning of the month.  I gave in to the temptation of a few birthday and Christmas lunches and dinners and things seemed to spiral out of control from there.  I feel [...]

This Week’s Candida Diet Menu – November 29, 2010

I am officially all turkey’ed out.  I am always so excited the morning after Thanksgiving when I have refrigerator full of leftovers.  Thanksgiving leftovers continue to be exciting pretty much all day on Friday but by Saturday we are all so sick of Turkey.  We did make it through yesterday with leftovers mostly because I vowed not to cook until Sunday [...]

How to Execute Your Yeast Free Thanksgiving Menu

I have been saying for a long time that without preparation sticking to the candida diet is nearly impossible.  Getting prepared just to execute your weekly meals is often a challenge and if you are trying to execute an entire yeast free feast this Thanksgiving my advice is to start now and do as much [...]
