1 Year Anniversary

On January 2, 2013 I posted this to my facebook page but I should have posted this here....

Exactly one year ago I began a new chapter in my life. I made the decision to try a vegan diet on top of my already strict diet of no wheat, soy or corn products (due to food allergies). It has turned out to be a great decision. I never thought I could live without cheese, pizza, burgers, etc... It's not as hard as I thought it would. In fact it's easy most of the time. To anyone out there thinking of changing your lifestyle (gluten free, soy free, vegetarian, vegan, whatever) I suggest trying it for a month, after a month you will realize you don't need those things you thought you couldn't live without.

Olive Garden

I have this craving for pasta today so I looked around at some of the places to see who had gluten free pasta.  Turns out Olive Garden has it but after looking through the list of other allergens I found that soy is in almost every single item they offer.  How is this even possible.  I thought italian food was cooked with olive oil but they must use soybean oil.  I can't seem to think of any other ingredient that would be in everything.   I always thought italians use olive oil in everything. Just goes to show you that you never know what you are eating unless you ask.
