B.Y.O.F Bring Your Own Food

As I've mentioned in prior posts, the wonderful world of blogging has introduced me to so many incredible individuals. Jill Conyers, happens to be one of these incredible individuals who I not only connected with, but I look up to as a sort of blog mentor.

I was honored when Jill asked me to compose a Guest Post for her blog, especially on a subject I am so passionate about, living with food allergies/sensitivies/issues.

Check out my Guest Post here !

Jill's blog simply put, is beautiful. She somehow manages to balance producing high quality content multiple times a week while being a wife, mom of two, creating delicious dishes, working, and oh did I mention she's an ultra runner? Yeah, she's pretty awesome! Don't just take my word for it though, check out her website Jill Conyers - Fitness, Health & Happiness here and see why I look up to her!

I commented on Jill's blog, but wanted to post my comment on yours, as well!

I LOVE THIS!!! Such a great post. I have recently gone gluten/grain/refined sugar/soy free (major digestive issues). Food brings people close, which is why we always eat when we're together. But living with Celiac or a gluten intolerance, it's essential to BYOF (prep and plan). It's funny that you were asked to leave a restaurant once. I get it, but at the same time, what do they expect you to do? So many of us are living with food allergies and don't even realize it. But yes, it is totally possible to still be social AND stick with your plan! I can't stress that enough, and I love how thorough you were with this post! :)

Lyndsay, first off, thank you for leaving the comment here as well! I am a bit overwhelmed by all the wonderful feedback I've received on Jill's and I'm trying to respond to all comments but it's so time consuming! In a good way of course :)

Thank you for your kind words! I can attest to major digestive issues (say hello to my irate intestines! they'll probably growl back at you!) I hope your eliminating of those foods helps you! Sending you healing vibes <3

It's not always EASY but it's important, after all it is OUR health, which is both physical and mental, so we can't just isolate ourselves socially, otherwise our lives won't be balanced!

Right! And we need that balance :) It's definitely not easy, you're right.. but it can be made simple. I already feel a lot better with eliminating those foods, and it helps a lot to read your story and how well it's working for you!! Thank you for sharing about your experiences!! <3

Where do I even begin? This dish is an absolute triumph in every sense of the word. From the first glance, it's evident that it's not just food; it's an expression of creativity, passion, and expertise. The way you've balanced bold flavors with delicate nuances is nothing short of remarkable. Every element on the plate serves a purpose, contributing to the overall harmony of the dish. I'm particularly impressed by your use of unconventional ingredients and techniques, which add an element of surprise and intrigue. This is culinary innovation at its finest, and I'm truly in awe of your skill and vision!
