I bought lots of great new things I've never tried before. I'm sure there will be hits and misses, but it's exciting if nothing else. If you've read this blog for very long at all, you know my loving devotion to food. The hub and I are food-a-holics. If we were more affluent, you could probably call us "foodies." It's to the point where if it's really well done or gourmet food, I'll try almost anything - even if it's something I don't normally like. Good food makes me swoon.
That's why it's so bloody** difficult to deal with diet restrictions. At the same time though, it's a fun challenge. It broadens my palate horizons. Because of these things, I decided to do Fun Food Fridays! Seussgirl seemed to like the idea, so I was emboldened by that single voice. (doesn't take much)
So here's the deal: Every Friday I will write a post about a food I've tried and what the results are. If you'd like to join me, there are a few rules.
- If you can't do it exactly on Friday, that's fine. Just leave a comment in my blog with the location of your post and the title so I can add it to my normal Friday post.
- The food has to have some redeeming factor to infertility other than being delicious. For example, dairy is supposed to be a no-no for endometriosis, but you've found a great recipe that makes it easier to forgo dairy. Or it could be foods that are good alternatives for gluten allergies. It could even be foods that feature some component that's supposed to be good for fertility (i.e. rosehips, green tea, etc). If could even be just a healthy food in general. My features will almost all be things low on the glycemic index and that are beneficial for PCOS. (That was a LONG bullet point!)
- Link back to my Friday post on your post so that people can check on everyone else's food updates
- OR - copy and paste the list to your own post.
ETA: The Food does not have to be a recipe. It can be a single food, a snack, an additive, whatever. :)

oh no, I don't know if I cook any "redeeming foods." I'll have to make something up. :) Or try to actually find some healthy foods to try - maybe that will inspire me!
And I like the use of the word "bloody." :) It's words like that that make American English sound so much duller than the British. :(
I bet you do. You can come up with something! :) It doesn't have to be perfect.. just have something in it that's good. :)
I know.. that PA Dutch influence is hard to shake. haha.
I wholeheartedly agree about the language.
I got in trouble at school when I was in fifth grade for using the word bloody. And I was in England then.
I think that looks fun! If I do any good diabetes recipes for Matt, I can play too, right? I've already used up my best one back in March or April.
You absolutely can play Jen! And you can re-post that one or just put it on my blog as a recipe from a while back if you'd like!
And it doesn't have to be a recipe. It can be a food item or additive or whatever.
i think this is a good idea. i need inspiring to cook better again
I think Fun Food Fridays are a great idea! Even if I don't participate often, I would still love to read other suggestions.
Yay Farah!
Jamied - whatever you take from it is awesome. :)
