Blood!!!!

Blawwwwwd!!  You'll understand once you watch this video.

Between the two of us, Daniel and I got six vials of blood taken right after Christmas, in hopes of finding out what foods we are allergic to.  After anxiously waiting three weeks...we finally got the results this past Tuesday.  The verdict: food allergy demon spawn: 1.  Daniel: 0.  Yes...that's right.  The food allergy demon spawn wins this time.  We found out that my husband is allergic to almost EVERYTHING.  Okay, yes, that's being quite dramatic but let me give you an idea.  Here are just a few of the things that Daniel cannot have for the next...oh...ever!

-soy
-pineapple
-all dairy products
-gluten/wheat
-eggs
-malt and barley (which are in a lot of beers)
-peanut butter
-almonds
-beef
-green beans

...and the list goes on...but those are some of the BIG ones!!

After having a small melt down, both Daniel and I agreed that we should really give this allergy-free diet a chance for at least a year (hence the blog).   Forewarning: Daniel and I don't cook...we don't plan out our meals...and we are used to shopping at Walmart--all of which are not going to make this drastic transition any easier!  Oh, and did I mention that I am extremely cheap...and health foods aren't exactly great for the wallet!

Anyone want some free groceries?!  Wednesday, February 1st, 2012!!  That's when I plan to rid our house of the food allergy demon spawn.  Look for 'before' pictures in the next couple of days...and the subsequent 'after' pictures of our soon to be empty kitchen!

Cheers!!
