My Baked oatmeal Birthday cake!  Thanks Mom!  Sorry.  That's my best picture of the cake(not best pic of me).  It is traditionally a breakfast food but is very versitile.  Here it was made with peaches in a heart shaped pan.

Here is my Hummus biscuit from last January.  I have made them since and realized, if you make a batch and others are not likely to eat them, freeze most of them.  They are easy to get tired of but so good at other times.  Here it is topped with Sesame Tahini, cucumber, salt, and dill.  I have also had it with egg salad or meat.  I need to get creative!

I went to an allergist in Provo and he put me on the yeast free diet for three months in 2008.  That diet excludes all sugar, things that would grow yeast, and foods that showed up on my allergy test.  That was interesting.  I felt great and lost quite a bit of weight.  I went off the yeast free diet and started adding in known allergens.   I could handle the foods I had been allergice to for a few eatings and then the symptoms showed back up.  Itchiness, sore mouth, and worst of all anaphlanactic shock(throat swelling).  I have never had to go to the hospital for my throat swelling but have an epi-pen for emergencies.  I have just used Benadryl to deal with reactions.

So, I kept up my on again off again eating well and gained back the weight I lost!  I have been exercising regularly since November 2009.  I didn't lose any weight until this last week when I went off allergens again.  I have still been using milk and cheese.  It makes things taste better.  It will be a week on February 3rd with no sugar and stuff.  Happy eating!
