Welcome!

I've begun a quest to create delicious foods that I can eat! I have about 40 food allergies. I went to my natropath, Dr. Heather Roberts, in December of 2009. I thought she was going to give me some ointment to make my acne go away. Little did I know that the cause of my acne was so many toxins built up in my body that my kidney and liver couldn't handle it. So my body was pushing the toxins through my skin. Lovely, right? Well, through some muscle testing we found that because I was eating all of these foods I was allergic to I was continuing to get more toxins in my body. Now I am eating allergen free. A lot of people think it's odd. Some people think it's cool. I think it's annoying. I've had to change my lifestyle so I can cook and eat. I have to bring my own food to social gatherings and then answer any questions. However, I'm seeing the benefits. I have more energy, my mind is more clear, and I eat amazing food. So, I created this blog as an easy way to share my experiences and my food. Enjoy!

Mashed Cauliflower

Mashed Cauliflower
(Substitute for Mashed Potatoes)
Ingredients:
1 head of fresh cauliflower
Butter to taste
Salt to taste
Milk (optional)
Garlic to taste (optional)
Parsley to taste (optional)
Paprika to taste (optional)
Directions:
Rinse cauliflower and cut into chunks, like what you would find in a bag of frozen cauliflower. Boil until very soft. Drain all water. Mash with potato masher until it has the texture of mashed potatoes. Add butter and salt to taste. Milk may be useful if it’s too dry, even after the butter is used. The milk will also give it a creamier flavor. Garlic, Parsley, and Paprika are delicious with it each by itself or in combinations. The Paprika hides the lighter color.
