🍓 FOOD INTOLERANCE APP (look for the strawberry) I just discovered this app and it is more than worth the $6.99 – it is a more updated version of the German SIGHI PDF list. It contains more information than you can shake a stick at. https://www.baliza.de/en/apps/histamine.html
🌿 OXALATE APP I AM USING The best option I have found is from the same developers as the Histamine app. It is an Apple only app but it looks like it is going to be very helpful. The basic color system (low/med/high) rating is free but if you want actual numbers, it is also $6.99.
There is also a fantastic Facebook group with a tremendous amount of information and research that I am finding invaluable. Trying Low Oxalates (TLO) https://www.facebook.com/groups/TryingLowOxalates
MY TOP 3 WORST INFLAMMATION TRIGGERS These are not the same for everyone and in 90% of people they don’t trigger a reaction – but if you are constantly dealing with being bloated, headaches, muscle or joint pain or digestive distress – they may be worth considering as potential inflammation triggers.

Double Ugh….. Not feeling well at all which is weird – haven’t eaten so it’s not a food reaction, weather is fine and it is not Whale 🐳 Week so I have no idea why I am hurting so much…
👩🏻🍳 COOKING FOR SANDY DAY 3 days a week, I cook meals for a neighbor who had a stroke last year and has limited mobility. We often share a meal kit or something similar and spend some time together since neither of us go out too much 😁 Today is one of her days. I’m enjoying having someone to cook for again.
I mentioned I was thinking of making Chicken and Dumplings after watching a @kristenhamptongoodnews rerun… If you aren’t familiar with her – check her out…
Okay this is a “cheaters” version of Chicken and Dumplings – I used a canned stock, canned condensed soup and rotisserie chicken. I was just not up to doing much cooking but told Sandy I would bring her some food so I didn’t want to disappoint her.
Precooked the dumplings most of the way in the air fryer first since I was doing such a short time in the Chef IQ (Instant Pot).
DUMPLINGS ♨️ Cooked in @hauswirtusa 42Q Air Fryer Countertop Oven Preheated – Middle Rack 400° for 10min
Then combined and cooked (all details in video) 🌀 Cooked in @chefiq 6Q Smart Cooker Cook on Pressure for 5min + Natural Release (add ½ & ½ and cornstarch after the release)

🥣 EGGY TOAST, TOMATO & GRAPES I am at the stage of reintroduction (details below) that is retesting items that had been discontinued previously. This morning I tried a whole duck egg instead of the normal just eating the yolk. Yep, still react. It’s not huge but it is enough (moderate lvl) that egg whites are on the 6 month exclusion list for eating. I could probably cook with one but as for a general, just eat it, that would be a No.

🌵TAMPICO MEXICAN GRILL PORK CARNITAS Pork Carnitas Side – Rice Side – Refried Beans (no tortillas, salad, condiments etc)
Tracy (cousin) was at Sam’s and found some of the Chef Shamy butter I like and GRILLO Pickles which I have been looking for and asked if I wanted them. She got me a rotisserie chicken to break down and freeze too. I needed to meet her in town to pick those up so I decided to get Carnitas from our local Mexi restaurant.
PREP Preheat oven to 375-400°F. [Some people like 425°] This is really going to depend on your oven, altitude and personal preference. I like 375° for my oven.
Cut veggies to desired size. I like about 1in cubes. The thinner you cut things, especially high moisture veggies like zucchini [and similar squash] and peppers for example, the more they are going to cook down.
Some squash like Delicata, can just be cut with the skin on, while others like Butternut can benefit from a quick softening in the microwave to make prepping easier. Simply pierce the squash a few times all the way around with a sharp knife and microwave for 3-4 minutes, turning once. Once this cools, peeling is tremendously easier.
I leave the skin on most veggies – potatoes, squash etc – but feel free to peel everything if you like.
Either toss the veggies in a little oil or spray with cooking spray if you don’t want the points for the oil. I also like to add a little lemon juice here.
ADD SEASONING Season as you like. For me, I like using both fresh and dried herbs + dried spices like Garlic and Onion Powder, Italian Seasoning, flavored Sea Salt and cracked Black Pepper.
BAKE Spread everything evenly on a baking tray/cookie sheet. Don’t overcrowd here… Use multiple trays as needed. I separate by cooking times.
Bake on 375-400° for 15-45min depending on your veggies. I cook my hard squash like Butternut, potatoes and any other root veggies (turnips, parsnips, carrots etc) first for 20-25min, then add the faster cooking vegetables, cooking for an additional 15-20min.
🥔 Root vegetables (Beets, Potatoes, Carrots): 30 to 45 minutes, depending on how small you cut them 🍂 Winter squash (Butternut Squash, Acorn Squash): 20 to 60 minutes, depending on how small you cut them 🥦 Cruciferous (Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts): 15 to 25 minutes 🍆 Soft vegetables (Zucchini, Summer Squash, Bell Peppers): 10 to 20 minutes 🍈 Thin vegetables (Asparagus, Green Beans ): 10 to 20 minutes 🧅 Onions/Garlic: 30 to 45 minutes, depending on how crispy you like them 🍅 Tomatoes: 15 to 20 minutes
AIR FRY This is great for smaller portions or reheating without using the whole oven. Set your air fryer to 375-400° for about 1/2 the time you would bake. You will need to check on them until you figure out the right timing as wattage and sizes vary and make it difficult to give timings. If you have a little pot belly type fryer vs the oven type, it is different again. I find it easier to just use my big oven.
Eat hot or cold. As a meatless meal or as a side. They store well for reheating later, can be frozen if you like or just cooked as you need. You can always prep everything raw and just cook individual portions if you don’t like them reheated or if you know you are going to do them as leftovers, don’t finish cooking them all the way so when you reheat, they finish cooking then.

🐸 Starting Weight: 298.8lbs 🦋 Current Weight: 262.8lbs 🦄 This Week: +13.6lbs
#fearlessfridays are back!
Rough, rough week weather wise – big, beautiful storms 🌧️☔🌧️ came over – which I personally love but boy, my body does not!
I poofed up big time… My hands and feet swelled something fierce, my eyes swelled, my BP went up from all my muscles and organs swelling, my breathing is rough (pressure on my lungs from all the swelling)… It is all kinds of fun.
I knew I was going to be up – I was up about +13lbs the day before weigh in so I wasn’t surprised… It will start to go down now that the storms have gone…
Food wise, I had very little reactions this week – it was all pretty good. Although, there were several days that I just didn’t feel well and didn’t eat much… Part of the habit I am trying very hard to overcome.
New week – new Phase of my 12 Week Wellness Reset. This is the final Phase which covers Weeks 7-12…
Still testing and reintroducing foods and working on a finalized elimination list.
Nothing to change just week – just have to work through the inflammation…
↙️ ONWARDS & DOWNWARDS ↘️
🏆 NEXT MINI GOAL: 248.8lbs [-50lbs] 🎯 NEXT MILESTONE GOALS: 223.8lbs [-75lbs] 🌏 NON SCALE GOAL: Fit in the Hoodie I bought for New Zealand
If you aren’t familiar with my situation, basically I live with several autoimmune issues… an “inflammatory overstimulation response” brought on by my basic blood cells thinking they are Spartan Warriors and attacking everything in sight.
[Mast Cell Activation Syndrome or MCAS is my main issue but also fun things like Fibromyalgia, POTS, Histamine Intolerance, Insulin Resistance and on and on… ]
WILD WEIGHT SWINGS My weight fluctuations are not water weight, not sodium retention and the gains do not go away until the cells calm down and the actual muscle inflammation decreases.
When a flare happens, everything swells – my eyes, my hands/feet, my actual muscle tissue and organs … I can, and do, put on up to 20lbs in a bad flare and this can take 3-4 weeks to lose again.
Foods, chemicals, weather changes, environmental elements… literally, sometimes just existing, fires them up. Some things I can control and otherwise it is a #justkeepswimming kinda life.
Sorry for being MIA the last few days. A large storm front came over, dropping the temperature almost 30° in 2 days (which I love but my body does not) and creating big barometric changes. This triggers a lot of fun pain and poofiness, blood pressure and breathing issues and honestly just wipes me out. My body gifted me a very generous +11lbs of inflammation. Awwww shucks – thanks! Just what I always wanted… 🤣
I am going back to my #fearlessfridays Weigh Ins from this week anyway so maybe my body will calm down a bit by then… *hopeful thinking*

👩🏻🍳 COOKING FOR SANDY DAY 3 days a week, I cook meals for a neighbor who had a stroke last year and has limited mobility. We often share a meal kit or something similar and spend some time together since neither of us go out too much 😁 Today is one of her days. I’m enjoying having someone to cook for again.
I had already taken her salads for the week on Tuesday so I just made her the meatball bake. I used chickpea pasta because it is better for her blood sugars (says Banza).
I took her salads on Tuesday
🍝 ITALIAN CHICKEN MEATBALL BAKE 🌿1️⃣4️⃣ 🌿@aidells Italian Chicken Meatballs 🌿 @homemade Instant Pot Marinara* 🌿 @barilla Chickpea Casarecce Pasta @krogerco 2% Mexican Cheese Blend
🍞 ITALIAN QUICK BREAD 🌿9️⃣ [Without Italian Seasoning – oxalates are 4️⃣] @clovervalley ¼c Self Rising Flour (packed cup) To make all purpose flour into self rising – add 1½tsp baking powder + ¼tsp salt per 1c flour…so for single serve – add ⅜tsp (which is 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon) + a pinch of salt
@dannon @oikos 3tbsp 0% Greek Yogurt @fairlife 2tbsp Skim Milk @gelspice 1tbsp Italian Seasoning @bobsredmill 1tbsp Nutritional Yeast (optional) @assi 1tsp Coarse Sea Salt *If you are not adding the nutritional yeast, you may need less yogurt/milk as there are less dry ingredients.
PLAYING WITH MY FOOD I decided to try out some food dye powders thrown into the dough to see how they turned out. Brilliant! ½tsp powder per bowl worked okay but to strengthen the color I used 1 capsule of Blue Majick Spirulina in addition for the blue and 1 drop violet food gel in the purple.
Color added with 🌿 @eco_taste Food Dye Powders – Spirulina (Dark Green), Butterfly Pea (Blue), Purple Sweet Potato (Purple) @uscakesupply Food Gel (violet) @bluemajick Blue Spirulina capsule
NO STICKY HANDS PREPARATION Combine all ingredients in a bowl with a fork. Lightly spray your baking sheet or lay down some parchment paper and turn your dough out onto the tray. Using the fork, shape the dough to the thickness and diameter you want. Top with an egg wash and additional seasoning if you’d like. Bake and enjoy!
♨️ Cooked in @hauswirtusa 42Q Air Fryer Countertop Oven Preheated – Middle Rack 400° for 20min (or 350° for 25min)
———————
🍅 BASIC INSTANT POT MARINARA 🍅 Tomatoes – ripe (but still firm) works best 🧅 Onions – I like Red Onion but anything from Spring Onions to Shallots will work 🌶️ Peppers – Bell, Poblano, Anaheim, Jalapeño or Shishito (*optional) 🍄 Mushroom (*optional) 🧄 Garlic 🌿 Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano, Basil to taste 🧂 Seasoning of your choice to taste – I like Minced Onion, Parsley Flakes, Smoked Chili Sea Salt, Nutritional Yeast, Soy Sauce, Italian Seasoning
🔪 Roughly chop vegetables. Add everything to the pot and set for 25min on Pressure/Manual. Natural Release for 15min. No liquid added/needed as the tomatoes release plenty of their own.
🔹If you want a thicker sauce, add a can of tomato paste. 🔹If you want a smoother sauce, blend with an immersion blender or in a food processor.

While my appt was fine – I was out too long and got overheated (it was like 89° when I was in town) which flared up my Fibromyalgia and that triggered muscle spasms, BP and breathing issues… Whew… I feel rough. I ended up just doing a single, higher calorie meal.

CHICKEN ♨️ Cooked in @hauswirtusa 42Q Air Fryer Countertop Oven Preheated – Middle Rack 400° for 20min in a foil wrap **Times will vary depending on your type of fryer, how much you’re cooking, how thick each piece is…
BURGER & POLENTA ♨️ Cooked in @hauswirtusa 42Q Air Fryer Countertop Oven Preheated – Middle Rack 400° for 25min on parchment steamer sheets
I recently found out that boiling your vegetables, for at least 8 to 10 minutes, can reduce the oxalate quantities by anywhere from 30 to 80%. That’s fantastic!
Except they taste horrible.
I cooked my sugar snap peas in boiling water for 10 minutes while I was waiting for my burger and polenta to cook.
I like my vegetables to still be pretty crisp. They were anything but. For me, since the oxalates are not causing kidney stones or anything like that, I would rather spend the extra milligrams and have vegetables I enjoy eating then have them boiled down to a soft and mushy texture.
This is going to be an individual choice for each person depending on what they need to do but in my case I will not be boiling my vegetables like that anymore.
