Ready to get cooking? Here’s the latest of what’s been simmering in my kitchen:

Turkey Zucchini Poppers

These are a huge hit for my family. Especially when paired with my low-trigger pesto. They’re quick and easy to make but be warned, they’ll be gobbled up about as fast as you can make them.

Instant Pot Chicken Broth

This broth is an essential ingredient for when you are not using any pre-packaged sauces or seasonings. It’s useful in a large range of recipes and tastes delicious.

Allergy-Friendly Low-Trigger Cake Recipe Base

Add anything you want to this foundational recipe (as long as the ingredients you are adding are on your approved foods list). I have made this as carrot cake, fennel-ginger-blackberry cake and many other combinations.

There are a lot of elimination diet blogs out there, but most of them include at least some ingredients that I couldn’t have. So after lots of trial and error, merging and modifying many allergy-friendly and unique recipes, I’m publishing what I’ve found that tastes great and meets a more rigorous list of ingredient-exclusion. My focus is on migraines but I’ve also been through this with other family members with complex food-triggered health issues. These recipes are focused on finding delicious ways to eat while excluding many common allergens and food triggers.

My personal experience was that my pain and migraine symptoms as well as brain-fog and anxiety were improved with diet changes. Before you go on a diet like this, you should consult your provider and your outcomes probably won’t be exactly the same as mine. Although this is a big life change, it’s worth it to go through the experiment under medical guidance to see if your symptoms improve by changing what you eat. For me, going through the elimination diet process was an important step in getting my life back.”
