First Day of Elimination Diet and the Delightful Dandelion Cafe

This Post will be a long one, today is the first day of our Elimination Diet and I have some photos for you of a lovely little Café we ate at. We decided to start the diet early as we are all feeling a little yucky after eating out a bit (you cant always find places to eat as good as the one I will talk about below!) and traveling. Avoiding contamination is harder that I thought it was. This morning my wonderful husband made us a green smoothie. I will post a page with a brief outline of the diet we are doing and what our weeks will look like. Remember if you choose to do something like this make sure you talk to a doctor or see a nutritionist. Go to a local health food store and ask around they are sure to direct you to a good one, check at your local Church too.There are many things that they will talk to you about that is personal. My blog is just for information, to get you thinking, to share recipes and inspire you. My Husband made this smoothie we did not have any parsley on hand though and plan to pick some up from Harris Teeter later today. It is a winter green smoothie. I have been sipping on one all day. I find this part a little hard I enjoy the smoothie luckily as we have been eating pretty clean for long enough now that its not too bad, but I really want to eat some food I can chew. I did not think to get any photos this morning but I will try to get some up tomorrow. I feel good today though and that is exciting. I am hoping we are able to figure out in the Challenge phase what is still causing issues in our diet! Now on to the fun Café we got to try!

We had the opportunity to eat at the Dandelion Commuintea Café while we were down in Florida visiting family. They had many things I could eat. I had the Summer of Love rolls with their peanut sauce to start and the Sweet Potato Burrito. We also got a Side Sampler to share. It was all amazing!

My Husbands family and I all loved our meals. I loved it so much I got some to go! Plus where I was going to be later did not have a place I could eat at. My Son Hoss also loved his meal. He ate almost all of his big bowl. - Maddie Grace
