The beginning...

I have decided. The challenge I have been looking for has crystallised into a plan to cook & live wheat and dairy free for the next 4 months.

Why wheat & dairy free? Because I couldn't handle being a vegan..No, really because I have been reading a fair bit recently following a health 'scare', and I know I want to turn my eating habits around (notice steadfast refusal there to use the 'd' word). I want this blog to be a place where I can document the successes along the way and hopefully to post recipes other people will be inspired to try. I will post my daily menus and photograph the prettier dishes!

I love cooking and I have a low boredom threshold, so I cook every day, quite often a new recipe from my travels around the net. I spend hours each week poring over food blogs and websites researching ideas to try out in my kitchen, so this project will give it all some focus. I have always loved eating 'healthy' food - vegetables, fruit, pulses and cook them on a daily basis. I am a firm believer in the GI (glycaemic index) approach to healthy eating but recently I have eaten too much food from the dark side of the food pyramid...and am ready to regain control.

At the end of the day, this blogging looks so much fun - I'd love to be part of it all! I am really looking forward to getting to know other bloggers from around our planet, and getting my camera working again.

If you wander in here, please leave me a comment. It's nice to know there's someone there!

Hiv disease for the last 3 years and having hard to eat and cough are nightmares,especially the first year.
