Banana Almond Cinnamon Tortilla

For years I lived a completely Gluten & Dairy Free life as I had chronic issues with Candida. In 2007 my new doctor said people who follow these types of diets miss important nutrients and vitamins. He tested me and said I did not have Celiac Disease so I should go back to eating Gluten. So I started adding Gluten back into my life over the last 5 years. No one told me that if you are not eating Gluten that the test would always be negative. In 2009 and again in 2011 after being back on all types of Gluten  my numbers did go up but I still did not test positive for Celiac Disease.  In 2011 I was sick with all types of infections and spent a lot of time at the Immediate Care Center, the Dermatologist, & my Immunologists office. So in 2012 I have decided to get off Gluten once again. This time I will not go of Oats as my problem seems to be directly focused with Wheat & like grains. My recipes going forward will all be made with Gluten Free Flours. Corn Tortillas will  be my new daily bread.

1 Small Corn Torttila
2 TBSP Almond Butter
1 Sliced Banana

Chili, Apple & Pineapple Cornbread

Now that the holidays and my friends and families January birthdays are over I have finally found some downtime to get back to posting my recipes again. In addition to all my friends and family having January birthdays I had my own 49th myself. I went out quite a bit for free meals for my birthday both with family, friends, and myself using coupons for free emails from various restaurant e-clubs. It is very sobering to know that next year I will hit the big 50 and so many of my contemporaries will not be making the journey with me as they have all passed away from Cancer. So far my prior Cancer is still in remission, and my 2 current tumors on my Left Kidney & my Right Adrenal Gland do not appear to be Cancerous. It will also be a somber time for me as my late Aunt Leah died in 1997 when she was 50.


Another recipe in my never ending quest for my favorite gluten-free type of bread (Cornbread).
