Intolerant to ALL THE THINGS!

Long time no see. In the long interim of my not posting anything I went to a nutritionist and got a blood test done. Turns out I am intolerant to all of the fun stuff. I mean ALL of the fun stuff. Except potatoes. Those are still good.

Let's look at how this works in a typical day.

Breakfast:
I'll start with some eggs.
Wait.
I'm intolerant to eggs.
Okay, cereal.
Intolerant to wheat.
Okay, Gluten free cereal.
Wait, it's corn based. Intolerant to corn.
Yogurt?
Intolerant to casein, which is in yogurt.
Oatmeal, surely -
Intolerant to oats.
Um... Milk and fruit?
Intolerant to milk.
Soy milk!
Intolerant to soy.
A-Almond milk and fruit?
Yeah, I can do that.

Okay breakfast is down. Let's do lunch:
Lemon glazed tuna steak.
Intolerant to tuna. And lemon.
Apple with peanut butter.
Intolerant to peanuts.
Salad with ice tea?
Yeah. That works.

Now it's time for dinner.
Steak and barley stew?
Intolerant to barley.
Steak and rye st-
Intolerant to rye.
Steak, baked potato, green beans with... I dunno more Almond Milk?
Yeah, that works.

See my problem? I am basically restricted to a subset of the Atkins and Paleo diets. It wouldn't be so bad if Almond Milk weren't so bad. And coconut milk is even worse. Rice milk is next on my list of things to try. But after a while I may just drift back to goat's milk and see how that goes.

So now this blog will be a recipe base for the hard to find, obscure concoctions that are made without anything and still hopefully turn out good. Stay tuned for egg free, dairy free, and gluten free banana bread.
