Well, I had walnuts last night. I foolishly assumed that the Trader Joe's Pesto sauce would be made with pine nuts as pesto is supposed to be made with...only cheapos like myself would make it with walnuts, right? My family LOVES my homemade pesto. In fact, this is the first recipe Brady had memorized and we love to make it together! It's the first thing I've added back to my diet. And it's the first thing I'm permanently removing. It did not do well in my stomach...I'll leave it at that! So....
After my first buying trip to Whole Foods (the first trip was just to gawk and drool), I have realized that I should be waaay more depressed about this whole situation than I am AND it is going to cost a bundle to eat my new non-allergen diet!
I'm into my second book on food allergies. Come back later today to see the list of different ailments one can acquire or exacerbate with eating food you are allergic to. I was absolutely amazed!
Thanks for checking in!

I'm always amazed at how much money I spend when I buy stuff for Jake at the health food store. I think I get so excited when I pick up an item, read the ingredients, and go "oh, he can have this!", so I always end up getting more than I intend to. Does your supermarket have a health food aisle? Sometimes I can find the same thing I get at the health food store at the supermarket health food aisle...and it's usually a bit cheaper. Food allergies ARE expensive! What's up with that? You'd think with all the ingredients/allergens that are being left out of a product, it would actually cost less! :) Anyway, can't wait for your next post! Have a great day walnut free! :)
