Read First

I am not a writer.  I am not a chef.  I am a simple girl that made a goal to make every recipe from a cookbook within a year.  Yes, I got the idea from the movie Julia & Julia.  With that said, I am also trying to eat healthier and lose some weight.  A friend of mine suggested that I try Betty Crocker The 300 Calorie Cookbook.  This has 300 tasty meals in the cookbook.

Well, I have to tell you all about my crazy food allergies.  I have a severe allergy to shellfish and peanuts, anaphylactic shock allergic.  Then, I have a gluten allergic - which includes all kinds of things that "normal" people cook with.  This allergy isn't going to put my in the ER the same day, but causes all kinds of digestive issues and it just isn't pleasant.  Then there is the milk allergy.  I get a rash - not a big thing, but still I try to use milk products in moderation.

So, as I stated, the cookbook has 300 recipes.  I will make all recipes in the book, but I will be modifying for my allergies.  I will make sure to mention any deviation from the original recipe.  Of course, I won't be listing the recipe on this blog, as you can buy the book yourself.  I am not here to give the recipes to anyone for free.  So, I will post photos of my creations and give you my opinion and probably my husband's opinion as well.  I am sure I will have guest tasters along the way and I will make sure to ask them for their input as well.

I hope you enjoy reading this. I know this is a great way to keep me accountable for eating a healthy dinner and meet one of my goals.
