Just curious if anyone else has food allergies they have to deal with and how it affects your daily life. I tend to dislike eating out and cook a lot.

I have an issue over the cost of going out versus how much I can eat. Does that count as an allergy?

Hi Apple,
Thanks for responding! When is your surgery? What are you allergic to? Maybe we can give each other ideas....I know I get stuck in a rut and tired of the same things! My allergies are wheat, gluten, soy, eggs, corn, bakers yeast, and sucralose (splenda)....oh, and chocolate is a migrane trigger so I avoid it too. I'm in a food rut right now and looking for ideas!

I am not savvy on what has gluten.

But, I enjoy refried beans, chili with beans, black beans, ricotta chees, other cheeses, baked/broiled/grilled fish

Can you have any of these?

I can have beans! Tend to eat them a lot....love them! Ricotta I can have now that I've learned to make it with lemon juice....wow do I recommend that!!! So yummy. Cheese, yes and same with fish. I never think of fish for some reason. Thanks for bringing it up! I love salmon, well, all fish.

Ricotta with lemon juice?... Do tell please ;)

OH. MY. YUMMY. CREAMY. GOODNESS!!!
That just about sums it up. Take 3 c whole milk and 1 c half and half with about 1/2tsp salt heat to 175, remove from heat and gently stir in 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (will double check my recipe on that amount, going from memory) then let it sit for 5 min. Strain the whey off....takes me about 2 hrs for the consistency I like. Chill. Use just like store bought but you'll LOVE this sooo much more!! I only allow myself to have it once a day. Love it with some stevia and almond extract with strawberries and blueberries (thanks eggface!!) Or with pb2 or just with some stevia mixed in. I've never used it in savory dishes but I'm sure it would be great in those too!
