4/3/2015 You Can Take The Food Away From The Girl, But You Can't The Girl Away From The Food.Read NowToday marks 6 years since I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Last year I shared my food testimony for the first time ( http://lifewithlew.weebly.com/posts/5-years-strongmy-food-testimony). This year I wanted to celebrate by sharing with y'all all of the foods that I've been able to reintroduce into my life since then, and all of the delicious things that they make! It excites my heart so much. This last month especially has been full of trying new things (a little too much, maybe). But too much or not, its been encouraging to be able to eat certain things again. And to be able to experiment in the kitchen again. So let me share with you! Since last years post, I've reentered into my diet: Avocados. Which means delicious fake Yumm Bowls. Peanut butter (which happens to be AMAZING with chocolate coconut ice cream) It also means that I get chocolate peanut butter milkshakes sometimes. Almond flour (which means biscuits, that also happen to taste AMAZING with chocolate coconut ice cream) It also means that I get delicious apple and berry pies. And pizza! This is my latest discovery/creation, and oh my gosh. I never thought pizza could be so delicious without tomato sauce and cheese, but this is SO GOOD! Also : garlic. Which is absolutely delicious on my pizza ^.^ Eggs. Which means actual breakfast food for breakfast. What? It also opens up the door for way more baking opportunities. Chocolate coconut milk Which, when heated up, also becomes hot chocolate! Brussels sprouts. (I know, doesn't sound that exciting. But steamed and pan fried with onions, basil, greek oregano, lemon thyme, and lemon juice? Um, yes.) Regular coconut milk (it's pink because there's strawberry juice in it - making it strawberry coconut milk! Which isn't actually as good as it sounds, but it's still exciting!) And coconut flour! Which means pancakes! And muffins! And cookies! I can't begin to describe how delightful it is to bite into something soft and chewy again. I love food, guys. So much. I love baking, and experimenting, and feeding others, and tasting what I've created. It's been a long time since I've had a baked good (which is one of my all-time favorite categories). So grateful to finally be able to eat and experiment with them again! It's tough, though, since moderation is key, ad I really struggle with moderation and food sometimes. This is where the self-control that God has been teaching me over these 6 years needs to be applied, and I'll admit, I fail pretty miserably ta it sometimes. But I'm learning. And I'm growing. And I'm excited to see what new foods will be added into my life in this next year to come!
