goatherder's pie

ok, so food intolerances abound: wheat, gluten, cane sugar, bananas...and now, yeast. this means no fortified/enriched food (usually comes from a fermented food source), so goodbye enriched rice dream. no fermented foods or drinks -- goodbye, new gf olives that just came in the mail, and goodbye, wine for another year. have to figure out salad dressings with no vinegar, aboo. goodbye, Bubbies sauerkraut, my favorite condiment. and the one that hurts the most, goodbye, bread machine, or hello, yeast substitute! and we were getting along so well...

no nightshades or citrus or gluten or cane sugar (or evaporated cane juice -- in everything!) was hard, but I was managing. I will just have to learn another way of eating to get healthy. I am feeling up to the task.

here is my goatherder's pie. no wheat, gluten , sugar, yeast, citrus, nightshades. and yet, glorious.
