About Me

My photo
In 2006, I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. This site attempts to document my struggles with the disease, but also the small (and delicious) victories I've had since following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (the SCD). I am by no means an expert, but hope that you find some tidbits that feed your soul, or at least your tummy. Enjoy. P.S. - In my more recent posts, you will find full SCD meals using various recipe sources compiled in each post, in the hopes that it will make following the SCD easier.

A realization, a new direction

So it has been over a year since I last posted. I know, shame on me. Yet as I sat here planning out our family vacation menu, I had a realization. As much as I would like it to, this blog will never contain hundreds of recipes that I have created. You see, I LOVE to cook. But, I am not the type of cook who can brilliantly marry foods together to create delicious dishes. No, I would describe myself more as a borrower. If you're reading this blog hoping to discover newly minted recipes, you will be disappointed. Because during my sabbatical from blogging, I have realized that instead, this site will serve to pull a full meal together, by organizing the recipes that I use from various websites, blogs, and cookbooks in order to create a full meal. When I cook, sometimes I feel as though my two open cookbooks and my iPad with a recipe from a website take up more of my counter space than the actual meal prep. I hope to eliminate that problem with this blog.  All recipes, of course, fall under the umbrella of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. So if you too lack the creative genius (or time!) like myself, please allow me to assist you in creating delicious, SCD-safe meals. Hope to see you back soon!
