DELIVERING DELECTABLE DISHES DAY & NIGHT!

My immediate family has dealt with lactose intolerance, IBS, auto immune disorders and fatal cancer. From Fall '09-Summer 2010 I went from running 1/2 marathons to not being able to get out of bed, plagued with intense headaches, exhaustion and more. With my family history and my own immune system comprimised I was motivated to take a bit of a journey to better health. Slowly I've made considerable changes, (I'm not always 100% vigilant), but I know these changes have helped me return to better health...FOOD CHANGES: I cut out gluten, cut out most dairy, cut down on the "white stuff"-sugar, white rice & flour, decreased the amount of processed foods consumed, drink green smoothies regularly, eliminated red meat and eat more vegetarian and vegan dishes...just to name a few!

I use gluten free (GF) pasta and either a whole grain blend by Nalani Brown or a mix from Kathy Taylor for most bread, cake and cookie recipes-they are awesome! (If you like Kathy's mix, email me to order her cookbook at ishagirlclub@gmail.com.)

GF mix can be substituted straight across for regular flour if you aren't cooking gluten free!

Hope you enjoy!

Simple Salad (GF, Sugar Free, Dairy Free)

Mix head of romaine with a European or Artisan blend (like Aldi's has) so it is about half and half
Deli Turkey Meat (get kind without all the additives etc), chopped or torn into pieces
Apples, bite size pieces
Nuts (one of the following): cashews, pine nuts, almonds...if you like walnuts or pecans...add those
Lemon slice (about one per plate)

Squeeze lemon over a big handful of lettuce blend and toss till coated.  Salt and pepper to taste. Top with turkey, apple pieces and nuts then squeeze more lemon (if needed) over the entire combo.

It sounds too simple to be good, but I have really enjoyed it! Let me know what you think!
