I have a newer, better blog!

At the behest of my brother, I have created a blog for the recipes that I create. I know in the past that I have made some and put them up here, but, I like the Wordpress format better then Blogger. I briefly thought that I'd be able to keep up with multiple blogs, but I just don't that that will be the case. If you like what I've done in the past, I urge you to check out my new site. It has better pictures too!

Hello Again!

Hello all. I know I disappeared for three years. So...let's see. When last I wrote I was doing the GAPS diet for my psoriasis. I continued on with GAPS for a total of nine months. In September 2013, I switched to a Paleo diet and continued to lose another twenty pounds so my current weight is 123 pounds.

This is what I wore to my grandmother's repass in May 2016.

I've been quite content on a Paleo/low carb diet. It didn't cure all of my skin issues. I discovered that I am sensitive to foods that are high in histamines and so I have to watch what I eat. I also did some NAET treatments (Nupridad's Allergy Elimination Technique). NAET draws on accupuncture, accupressure, and kinesiology. It's sounds crazy and voodoo, but for me it worked. I haven't had any rash return on my hands, which is amazing. I will still get psoriatic type break outs on my knees with a lovely combination of uticaria, but it is not nearly as bad as it was a few years ago. If I am a good girl and watch my histamine intake I can keep my skin 90% clear.

Aside from my skin and diet issues, I've been keeping up with my gardening. Here's what my garden looked like in July.

Most of these plants have been harvested, and this year I am trying to get more out of my garden, so I planted fall/winter vegetables. This includes parsnips, leeks, peas, spinach, cabbage, and beets. The plants have just started to come up and will need to be thinned out and weeded before I take pictures. That'll probably happen some time next week.
