And So It Begins...

Well today I start removing the top eight food allergens from my diet... I spent a couple hours last night researching some new recipes to try. Good news! I can eat oatmeal! Easy enough… I cooked up some oatmeal with dried cranberries for breakfast, it was simple and delicious. Ok, so that was easy.

Now, what do I eat the rest of the day? Thankfully I made a trip to Sunflower Market yesterday so I had some good produce to start with. I searched the internet for a good homemade dressing to try and I found a honey garlic vinaigrette on Allrecipes.com. I ended up cutting down the recipe to about 1/4 of how it's listed below just to make sure I didn't waste too much if I didn't like it. 

Honey Garlic Vinaigrette
1 c. olive oil
1/3 c. apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsp. honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
I threw some lettuce on a plate and topped it with shredded chicken (which I had previosuly cooked up in the slow cooker and froze), strawberries and dried cranberries. It was pretty tasty! The garlic in the dressing was a little different but over all not bad.

I can't resist putting up a picture of my little man today, isn't he adorable?! Hehe :)
