Lunches are a challenge for me these days...Here is one of the things that I can eat and that I think is pretty tasty!!!
Curried Chicken Salad---my way!
2 boneless chicken breasts (steamed, cooled, and diced in chunks)
3 stalks of celery diced
1/2-3/4 c raisins
1 cup Vegenase
1 T curry powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp garlic pepper
Place Vegenase, spices in bowl and thoroughly mix. Add celery, raisins, and chicken. Mix well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let flavors marry and serve.
I can't have bread so I put this in a container and eat it like a salad. I have added either sliced almonds or whole cashews just to mix it up a little!!
Enjoy!!!

New challenges eating!
The last few months have been a challenge. NO milk! NO eggs! NO wheat!
I have to say that wheat has been the hardest! It seems that it is in everything!
So cooking and eating have been very basic these days. The first few months I would eat a banana, grapes, and simple romaine salads at lunch. The people at work were convinced that I was an out of this world health food nut. "NO" I would say, "I just know that a banana contains none of the things I am allergic to!"
But I missed processed food.
An awesome friend at work brought me the business card of Stella Lucy in Claremont. God Bless Stella Lucy! I was able to purchase anything in the store (because it is all gluten free!) I did! Big bill! Wonderful food. Mac 'n cheese by Amy's OMG great and wonderful stuff. It tastes so good! Gluten free AND dairy free. Pasta, pretzels, cake mix....all gluten free.

cast iron care
I love using cast iron for cooking. It is easy and it gives great results. As long as I can remember my Grandma always did this:
She DID wash her cast iron in hot soapy water. Then She placed it on the stove and added a little oil (or used the leftover margarine or butter stuck to the wax paper covering) or a piece of wax paper. She turned the stove on low and heated the pan--turned it OFF--and then rubbed a little oil in to it. When the pan cooled she ALWAYS stored her cast iron with wax paper stacked one on top of the other. All of them with wax paper stuck between.
Storing pans like this is wonderful. Nothing sticks--it works just like or better than Tephlon coating to pans!!!!
