A Temporary Adieu

Dear Readers,

Thank you for your support over these last few years I’ve shared my BIG FAT grain free life with you.  There have been ups…and boy, have there been some downs.  My health has taken a downturn, and though I hope and pray the Lord will restore it to me, I need some time to devote to myself and my family.

I know many of you have been, or are right now, in that same boat and will understand the need for clearing the plate, simplifying life and turning inward.  I pray it will be only a season, and that I will be able to share what I’ve learned through this trial to encourage someone else, maybe even you.

I hope the recipes on this blog will still be a blessing to you.  I have more in my arsenal, but just not the strength to get them photographed and posted.  I hope to do so in the future.

I wish you all well and hope I will be able to return with new insight, new vigor, and be a blessing in some way.

–

Jen

    • Thanks so much Eileen. I appreciate your sweet words. I hope to be over this hump, but, as I’m sure you know well, there’s not a magic pill. It will take time and God’s strength and blessing.

      Take care-

  9. I left you another comment already before I read this post. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I wish you nothing but healing and good health. I just found your blog today and immediately connected with you because I lived in Italy as a child and before my son’s very, very, recent diagnosis of Hashimoto’s, we lived off of my tomato basil marinara sauce and garbanzo beans were one of my favorite snacks and we put pecorino romano cheese on just about everything. Since his diagnosis, we went AIP and I wonder if we will ever be able to eat night shades again? I had never even heard or a night shade before all of this. much less thought that tomatoes could be doing my son bodily harm. Unless you have been through this, people have NO IDEA how hard this is on so many levels. Take care of yourself and do whatever you need to do to heal and get better. I look forward to reading your blog and your recipes and selfishly hope for your speedy recovery and return to blogging.

    • Thank you so much Sharon! I feel your pain! Many people really don’t understand unless they’ve hit rock bottom with their own health (or a child’s). Have you read the thyroid book by Dr. Kharrazian? I don’t have Hashi’s but thought I did. His book led me along a path and to a doctor in Tampa that really helped me deal with my own autoimmune issues. Keep trucking along. AIP is really hard, but it’s sooooo worth it! I feel so much better and can’t go back to what I used to eat because I like being able to function! I’m hoping to get back to blogging again too. I need to take some time for healing and trying to cut my schedule down to the basics (which is so hard for me).

      Take care and thanks for reaching out! I hope you find some good recipes, humor and compassion to encourage you along the way.
