What's happening now?

I am very busy converting my website to the new navigation with new Tabs.

What will you get?
  • More choices and less restrictive options that better reflect your dietary needs
  • Better Key with a new definition of SEF
  • New Recipes that accommodate those with less restrictive diets
  • New Recipes to accommodate diets that are harder to accommodate (will take much longer)
  • Salicylate, Glutamate and Amine Diets will be accommodated as soon as my research is done.
  • Diabetics will have truly healthier choices that won't damage the Kidneys like the traditional diet does. (Animal proteins damage kidneys was proven. Type of Diabetes moot point.)
  • Multiple Allergies will have choices under their own tab.
  • Top 8 & Top 12 recipes coming soon! And, common additional multiple allergies accounted for. (Top 8 or 12 & Nightshade free, Top 8 or 12 & Allium free, and so on.)
  • Seed Free will finally have recipes, besides Pizza. 
  • EE & EGID where at least 2 items can be ate will have recipes as soon as I pass Raw Vegan cooking course I'm taking. I'm using techniques learned to create both Hot & Cold recipes.
  • Raw Foods Diet will have recipes as well. Dehydrator I now own! :D
  • Diabetics with allergies will be accommodated for under the Diabetic tab.

 How long will this take?
  • The Navigation I hope to have done by June 1st.
  • All current recipes will be converted and refiled, hopefully by June 1st or July 1st.
  • The New Recipes will be created as soon as the refiling is done.
  • Goal is to have at least 2 recipes per Tab/Specific Diet under "Main course" and "Drinks" by June 25th, but this might take until July 15th, especially if I make too many errors.
  • Salicylate, Glutamate and Amine diets coming hopefully October 1st. 
  • Diabetes Recipes: Aiming for August 5th.
  • Multiple Allergies: Aiming for August 15th.
Want to know more about the new Navigation's Tabs and Headings?
Read after the "cut". 

Currently, I believe that none of my recipes works for the Salicylate Diet, but I have a spot reserved.
Also, as I find food lists, I'll create a Salicylate, Glutamate and Amine Diet recipes (where these have to be low.)

I am working out the "Allowed" food list by the following categories:
Very Low Salicylate
Very Low & Low Salicylate
Very Low, Low and Moderate Salicylate
(Goal: November 20th for Drinks, Main Course and Salad recipes.)

Due to the nutritional needs of those on this diet, I am researching ways to incorporate Vitamins and Minerals from your allowed supplement source into my recipes. First, I need to find out if the vitamins and minerals in the supplements are destroyed in heat or liquid. B12 is very fragile and does get destroy. Currently, I recommend blending your supplements in your allowed cold drink, if you can handle the taste and need to up your intake of supplements.  I realize that in the more severe cases, water is the only option, even though Cow's and Goat's milk is considered "Negligible".

Also, I hope to use techniques learned from Raw Foods Cooking class to create flavorful dishes on a bland diet. Foods on the "Very Low" Salicylate list and the "Low List" will be used as "spices & herbs".  Idea for those allowed "Moderate" Salicylates: Use 1 serving of Pureed Beets as a "Tomato Sauce".  Spice it with finely chopped Organic Celery with the strings removed, small amount finely chopped Green Cabbage - both from the "Very Low" Salicylate list.
