Gluten, Dairy & Egg Free Blueberry Muffins

For Those of You Who Followed My Prior Blog on MySpace I had Gluten, Dairy, & Egg Free Recipes Posted There. In 2007 I stopped this lifestyle after a number of years because my doc said I was deficient in certain nutrients so my recipes after that had wheat, egg whites, greek yogurt and sometimes milk. Now that I am once again following the Gluten, Dairy & Egg Free you will find that in my recipe going forward. Some of the recipes are a retool of my recipes from 2003 updated with products that are now available.

Steel Head Trout Salad

My local Super Target has been having lots of fish on sale since Fat Tuesday in February which has allowed me to make and eat lots of fish on a regular basis and not have to go over my grocery allotment for the month or resort to getting food for myself at the community food pantry or a church pantry. Perhaps eating more fish has been what has allowed me to lose weight that I had regained or perhaps it is like Dr. William Davis's book says, "Lose the Wheat, Lose The Weight"? Whichever, it is, I am grateful to have lost weight that I had regained. Now if I could only lose the final 50 to be back to my Pre-Cancer weight? I don't see how these regular folks I see on the news every day lose all their weight without having a personal trainer 6x a week, a nutritionist, or a Personal Chef? They probably still have their Thyroid, did not have it removed due to Cancer & Did not go thru Menopause at the age of 22 and finish at 32.

Rosemary Chuck Tender Steak

Due to waiting for the last 5 years for Social Security to settle my Permanent Disability Claim and being dependent on family support to pay for my groceries I only buy red meat when it is on sale and I have a coupon, I buy 3-4 packages and then freeze them. When I make a dish it lasts me a 2-4 times in a week and then I don't have any red meat for another month or two.

Bruschetta Manchego Turkey Sandwich

I know I have been a total slug as of late, my last post was February 19, sorry everyone. It seems lately that every time I post a bunch of recipes instead of just 1 at a time per day or 1 at a time every few days, then my Neuropathic Pain rears it's nasty head and then I can't use my hand's for typing, exercise, blow drying my hair, much less cooking or blogging.  Initially, I thought this was Carpal Tunnel Syndrome so I started wearing braces every night but the burning on the inside of my forearms up to my elbow according to the Hand Orthopedic is not related to Carpal Tunnel, talked to my neurologist and he said this is not part of Neuritis either. The Neurologist did say that burning pain is a symptom of Fibromyalgia which I do have. So my hobby of blogging to get my mind of my Fibromyalgia & Myofascial Pain issues has actually caused me to have more painful non-functional bad days then good days lately. Really hard to believe that Spring is heading to the Midwest in only 2 weeks.

This is not your bruschetta in the traditional sense. This is actually made with bruschetta seasoning from a package of spices that I found at my local Cost Plus World Market. Due to my going back to living a Wheat Free Life, this is the last post you will see on here with real bread. I have provided links for unfamiliar items used in this recipe for all of you.
