Day 12
The past 3 days I’ve been on the internet hunt for hypoallergenic recipes. I guess not a lot of people choose to torture themselves to find out if they are allergic to anything. Fools… darn lucky fools. It doesn’t help that the diet only takes a month. I wouldn’t create a recipe strictly for this diet if I wasn’t on it. I also don’t plan on using any of these recipes when I’m off this diet either. Bleh. Well I might use the base and add all the good stuff back in. Lack of interest is why I’m having a hard time finding recipes. There were plenty of websites that had recipes based on one or more allergies like a no-dairy, or no-eggs, but not all of the allergenic food eliminated in a single recipe. If I found out that I’m allergic to one thing I’ll definitely come back to these. Luckily, the Google led me to a few blog of people who tried the same masochistic experiment. Most of them were re-posting the same recipes over and over again. One blogger gave up a couple times before completing the hypoallergenic diet. She said she had a hard time turning down all the dinner invites from friends. Just another benefit from being a loner.
I did save her blog and some of her recipes. There is one I’m excited to try. Even though I tried her rice pudding recipe yesterday and it was a fail. Trust me I’m normally a very competent cook. I hardly ever make so many failures. Also I love to experiment with food and haven’t had nearly as many blenders as this diet has caused. Yes it’s the diet’s fault not mine.
So I think instead of trying new recipes I’m just going to substitute the good stuff with the less tasty alternative. Tonight will be chicken curry with sweet potatoes instead of the good starchy kind. I’m hoping they cook them the same. Hoping does seem to lead to disappointment, but I’ll give it a try anyways.
Curry adventure. The curry was good, but I realize now that the starch in the potato is what gave it some thickness. It’s a little on the runny side, but still tasty. Even the sweet potato was delish. I did run into a problem with the coconut milk. I popped open a can and it was complete curd. The expiration date said 5 months ago, but I think that is just a scare tactic to buy more. So I plopped it in then started to worry. I went online and checked and some said it was fine yet some scared me enough to rinse of the chicken and try again. The next can said it expired in 5 months and when I plopped it into my pan it was the same exact consistency. I’m staying on the optimistic side in thinking that both were fine instead of both being rotten. It’s canned I should be able to bring it to a bunker for 5 years if needed. If I you don’t see a post tomorrow send condolences to my parents.
This is starting to seem like a food blog so I might as well include the recipe.
Ingredients:
2 T olive oil
1 white onion
3 cloves garlic
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken shopped
1 small head cauliflower chopped
2 russet potatoes chopped (or 1 sweet potato)
2 carrots chopped
1 yellow bell pepper
1 can of chopped pineapple
1 t of ginger powder (or if you wanna be fancy 1 t of grated ginger)
1/2 T of cayenne pepper
3 T yellow curry powder (add more if you like it spicy)
l/2 lemon squeeze
1 t garlic salt
1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
1/3 cup chicken stock
salt and pepper to taste
handful of cashews
Directions:
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and cook until tender. Mix in the chicken, and cook 10 minutes, or until juices run clear.
- Mix the cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, lemon, cayenne pepper, curry powder and garlic salt into the skillet. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes or longer till potatoes are the softness you desire.
- Sprinkle on a few cashews when serving. Do not add cashews to leftovers because they will become soggy. Trust me.
Enjoy. If you have any recipes or food ideas let me know.

I just want to mention I am just newbie to blogging and truly enjoyed you’re blog. Likely I’m want to bookmark your site . You surely come with tremendous articles. Bless you for sharing your blog site.
Excellent web site. Plenty of helpful info here. I am sending it to some friends ans also sharing in delicious. And obviously, thanks to your effort!
Thanks for expressing your ideas. I would also like to say that video games have been at any time evolving. Technology advances and enhancements have assisted create reasonable and interactive games. These kinds of entertainment games were not as sensible when the concept was being used. Just like other designs of technology, video games way too have had to develop via many decades. This itself is testimony towards the fast growth of video games.
My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your post’s to be precisely what I’m looking for. can you offer guest writers to write content available for you? I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on many of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome site!
One more issue is that video games are usually serious anyway with the most important focus on understanding rather than amusement. Although, it has an entertainment part to keep your kids engaged, each game is usually designed to work with a specific expertise or programs, such as math concepts or scientific research. Thanks for your post.
