Made an easy dinner tonight – I’ll post the recipe at the end.
Still truckin’ along. Had to break it to my sweet baristas at the Whole Foods Coffee Bar that my love-affair for mochas has come to an end. They were appalled…APPALLED (right along with me). My actual drink of choice was a 2-shot-decaf-to-1-shot-caf-mocha-with-almond-milk-and-half-the-chocolate… My baristas had it down, too. I’d walk up to the bar and it would be “the usual”.
They tried their best to console me with Allegro herbal tea – to no avail. We were all in tears, sobbing, crying, sniffing coffee. OK – not really, but that would be funny, wouldn’t it?

Oh Jen,
YOU ARE AMAZING. You always make me laugh. I love how you’re going through this with such humor and courage. I am really enjoying your journaling here of your AIP adventure. How are you holding up? You got this girl! Great recipes.
Thinking of you…

Thanks Am-
I’m holding up ok. Started a protocol from the doc today and am feeling a little wonky. We’re trying to be aggressive with some things and I’m trying to remind myself it will be better in the long run – and it takes time to heal.
Thanks for the encouragement along the way –
XO
Jen
You’re doing great. I *should* do this, but can’t imagine no nightshades.
I can’t imagine it either. I’m trying to live in denial as best as possible.
