Eating a special diet can be challenging when it comes to introducing your family to new food or having to watch others eat old favorites of yours. A great way to feel like you are in control still is to get adventurous in the kitchen, creating new recipes to try. As someone who is new to a grain free diet, Kristin shares her post on overcoming cravings and finding a new recipe to love.
I’ve recently embarked on a grain free diet. Over the course of the last few years, my eczema has flared up tremendously, getting subsequently worse with each pregnancy. Removing wheat from my diet helped – for a short period of time. But then the dry, itchy, flaky skin came back with a vengeance. Worse than ever before. After talking to a handful of people and searching google for answers, I thought that it was time to try a grain free diet. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much it has helped.
Unfortunately, I do miss eating grains. Not only have I removed grains from my diet, but high starch foods as well, which means…no potatoes. Sigh. Dinner time can be a bit depressing for me, watching my family eat sourdough breads and fermented grains while my portions are not quite as ample. Thus, I whipped up a batch of roasted cauliflower. Amazingly delicious, salty, and creamy, without the grains and dairy.
Some great ideas to add to the dish: bacon, chili powder, nutritional yeast or pretty much any fresh herb that you have on hand.
