Not so fast food

Really enjoyed this dinner.  If you have the time it is so worth it to cook at home!
Hamburger with my oat cakes.  The other day I started making oat cakes for my sandwich and found out I had less than a cup of oat flour left.  I could have pulled out the grinder but the rest of the dinner was already made.  So I threw in some rolled oats and sesame seeds.  Yummy!  
Love the yam/sweet potato fries.(There is such a disagreement on what is and isn't a sweet potato or yam) These were labled yams and cost less than the sweet potatos.  When they were out of yams the other day I bought some white sweet potatoes.  They were yummy but my throat started to close up.  I'll have to feed the rest to my family.  I don't fry my fries.  I oil them and put them on a pan in the oven.  400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Comfort foods

This home made chicken soup was so yummy.  Since I have my carrot and potato allergies my soup is usually a bit bare.  I was inspired last time I cooked this soup and put in yams for the potatoes and carrots.  My family didn't even notice.  I put in celery, onion, parsley, and yams for the veggies.  Loved it!

Oatmeal cookies

These were so yummy!  I really need to give them away before I eat too many cause it happens almost every time.  Really I don't make cookies that often- much to the disappointment of my family.  These were full sugar and chocolate chips but I used canola oil and whole oat flour.  I need to make some with honey and rasins now.  I am eating healthier and feeling better!  I am sure I will break at some point but for now minimal allergens.  My body can't take the abuse of eating all the crap!
