Living Vicariously In Other People's Kitchens

I’m currently 2 weeks into a 3 week elimination diet. I’m eliminating dairy, gluten, caffeine, refined sugar, red meat, pork, a handful of vegetables and fruits, shellfish, alcohol, soy and fun…to name a few. I really really hate doing this. Really. I’m doing it for medical reasons–not for a “fun”. I don’t like spending more than 5 minutes cooking. So all the websites, blogs, and cookbooks full of “amazing” foods you can still eat do not apply to me for I am too impatient. I am eating, but only things that take 5 minutes–maybe 10 to make. I’m lucky my husband cooks. However, HE is not on this diet. It’s really not that bad except for the coffee part. And the chocolate part. What is bad is going out to social functions or going, umm, out of the house, or anywhere I have to eat etc… You don’t realize how much socializing revolves around food until you find yourself sitting at a table sipping water while everyone around you is eating and drinking merrily. Whatever. My intestines will be gorgeous.

Speaking of gorgeous. Let’s look at other people’s kitchens and dream about kale and sprouted almonds.
