That's a good question and one my husband nearly always asks of me when I take on new projects. It's a valid question, no? Well, to answer that question honestly, I was thinking about my previous life... before food allergies. It was a nice life when I could go out to dinner and eat anything I wanted, even pizza. There were times I even ate ice cream before going to bed. Those were the days.
Enough reminicing, on to more weighty topics. Every night at about 5 o'clock I stand in front of the fridge and ask myself, "Self, what are we going to make for dinner tonight?" For some reason I never get an answer but get this blank stare from my kids seeming to say, Mom's lost it again. They don't know how right they are.
Anyhow, in my previous, pre-allergy life some girl friends and I did a Once a Month Cooking group. It was fabulous and I loved it. We each made one meal x 10 or however many people were participating that month and then we all got together and traded meals. Those were the days and I always had something to make for dinner. With my food allergies, I dare not ask anyone else to cook and eat like me, however, my sister-in-law obliged once and I'll never forget that. She liked it so much she moved to Texas.
Moving along, I wanted to create those Once a Month Cooking days, but there are unbelievably little resources to help me on my quest. There are plenty of allergy-free recipes out there but I have searched google for hours on end looking for blogs, books, or sites that lay out freezer cooking for those who are allergic to gluten and dairy... nada.
Basically, I'd like to help others out there who would like to do this too... or at the very least have a place to have all of my recipes in once spot so I can reference them.
See the next post for how it's going to work... I'm so excited, I can barely contain it!
