I have been off all meds since February 2008 and though I have my ups and downs, I feel like I'm in control of my own health.SCD_Mistyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776214989819700331noreply@blogger.comBlogger8125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068373665502141589.post-27885396706061711832010-08-26T08:40:00.001-05:002010-08-26T13:13:11.303-05:00Banana PancakesEveryone has a favorite banana pancake recipe. I made these this morning and they were absolutely great. To my delight, my 8-year old daughter, loved them too. She doesn't follow SCD though I have a hard time keeping my food away from her.

She is an amazing woman with a great deal of knowledge about SCD and cooking. Last year, I made this chili recipe to go on a Girl Scouts camping trip. It was very good by itself or with cheddar and SCD "sour cream" (dripped SCD yogurt). Thanks for continuing to wow me with your recipes Marilyn!!!!

3 pounds lean ground beef

The other night, I was craving something breadlike and sweet. I had some finely shredded coconut and frozen strawberries and this it what I came up with. It was really good. My 8 year old who is not on SCD even loved it. And she said, "And, it's healthy too because you only eat healthy food mom."SCD_Mistyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776214989819700331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068373665502141589.post-9549367242057721542010-07-21T18:47:00.001-05:002010-08-10T11:31:38.239-05:00Spring mix salad with strawberries, almonds, parmesan and dressingLast week I went to D'Angelo's Pizza and had the Sensation Salad. It was so good I had to recreate it. This is one of the best salads I've made on SCD.
1 bag salad greens (spinach, romaine, spring mix, etc.)
1/2 - 1 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 cup toasted almond slices
Fresh grated parmesan cheese
Dressing
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar
2 minced garlic cloves

I think it's because my intestines had finally healed enough to start absorbing again. At 5' 4", I weighed 140.4 when I got up this morning. This is not a bad weight for my height and build but I can't fit in any of my clothes and I'm very untoned. Last night I went to a Yoga class and today I'm going to find a Karate class to SCD_Mistyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776214989819700331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068373665502141589.post-26233728337407581732010-07-12T11:42:00.002-05:002010-07-12T11:44:58.218-05:00Chicken with Tomato Sauce and ProvoloneI wanted to cook a nice lunch for my friend. Her favorite dish is chicken parmesan. This is my adaptation to that. It turned out really nice. The chicken was juicy. The tomato sauce was tangy with a bit of sweetness from the honey. The provolone was gooey and not overpowering. Served with a side of green beans (and very SCD illegal garlic bread and pasta for her).

The results were super yummy. Anyone following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet or a low carb diet should really try this.
One day I'll get fancy and start taking pictures.

I started having my first bad symptoms of Crohn's in July 2007. I was diagnosed in September of 2007 when I started SCD, but I jumped right in eating what I wanted. I had missed the part about doing the intro diet. October 30, 2007 I was hospitalized for 5 days because of inflammation and other SCD_Mistyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776214989819700331noreply@blogger.com2
