Day 13 on the 13th

My grain free pizza dough

Who knew that I could make something this delicious? Tonight I overcame what has previously always been a huge hurdle for me when trying to eat healthier.  I ordered pizza for the family but I didn't eat it.  Instead I made this wonderful dough for myself.  I used tapioca starch and almond flour as well as a ton of wonderful spices.  I added some sauce and cheese to it.  It was wonderful.  It was very dense so I was only able to eat 1 and 1/2 pieces.  Unfortunately I topped with cheese and ended up with an upset stomach so if I was to make it again I would instead make a garlic topping and skip the cheese all together.  

I was telling my husband that as much as I enjoyed eating this, that if I was going to feel this terrible after I would really not have a problem cutting these things out all together.  I have walked around for years feeling many different symptoms and not really putting together that it had something to do with my diet.  Feeling this way tonight is a reminder of why I am doing this for myself.  

I have been researching recipes like crazy and found interesting variations on food I like to eat.  So I guess my question to you all is what is your favorite recipe adaptation?

I can't believe tomorrow will be 2 weeks since I started this whole thing.  I have to say week two was definitely easier to overcome than week 1.  I decided tomorrow I will weigh in and see what eating this way has done to my waistline, while that is in no reason why I started this, as my clothes hang looser I am curious to where I am at this point.

Progress: Still going strong
Notes:  Keeping track of the things that make me feel ill so I can better tailor my diet to sensitivities.
