What to do?

I genuinely enjoy eating egg salad sandwiches, ham, and tuna also. They are so easy to fix, that it is amazing there are not a lot of recipes on possible variations.

My question is this. What do you do when one of your family members cannot eat Mayo, or 1,000 Island salad dressing. The 1,000 Island makes it easy to fix the mix without a lot of worry. What do you use instead of those things, though?

I have been trying to think about that and have come up with some really strange ideas. :)
I have thought about using BBQ sauce - not with tuna, no thanks. I have also thought about using Caesar salad dressing, but it uses Parmesan cheese which my husband can’t eat. So, what do I do next? Haven’t figured it out, yet.

Food Allergies

i know that it has been a while since I last wrote something here. There have been deaths of people we love and sickness that has interfered with any writing.

Today, I want to write about something that is very important. Food Allergies are something that can sneak up on you without warning. My husband has ended up in the ER many times because of an allergy that caught him off guard.

He is allergic to many medicines, spices, and some foods. An allergic reaction can be anything from feeling as if you have taken some kind of drug, you might feel as if you have the flu, or it can kill you. The symptoms can be all of the above, or anything in between.

If you know someone with an allergy, do not take it lightly. Being aware of the dangers can save a life - theirs, or yours.

Chinese Food

Since I had mentioned chopsticks in a previous article, figured that i would mention Chinese Food next.

I know that lately there have been multiple cases of things from China being dangerous, or messed up. However, the food that we can find in many restaurants is truly tasty. I do enjoy good egg rolls, General Tso’s Chicken, Sweet & Sour dishes, Fried Rice. I especially like the way the vegetable are not soggy and limp but have some crunch left to them so they still have a lot of their vitamins in place. Broccoli Beef, and Pepper Beef have good flavors, too. My husband has to be careful when he eats Chinese food, because he is allergic to Ginger and a lot of its relatives, too. We have found out from experience that a lot of Chinese food has ginger in it.

I use soy sauce in a lot of cooking just to season the meat. It does not have to be oriental cooking for it to be used. It is a very flexible alternative to using Worcestershire sauce when you do not want the food to be too spicy.
