I grew up eating Red Macaroni and Cheese and thought it was completely normal. When I went to college, I realized no one else had ever heard of it. For the last several years, I haven’t eaten much macaroni and cheese in any format, but while I’m pregnant, it is the perfect combination of carbs …

My Mom makes an amazing dip that has layers of cream cheese, pesto, roasted red peppers, and olives… so I thought I’d use the same idea and make up my own version that looks a little more bright and Christmas-y.

The non-invasive tests have a high-ish rate of false positives, which then lead to having to make the decision of doing the invasive …
I had a couple great days this week. I felt good. I had energy… I didn’t have rot gut or headaches. I also had a few days when I felt terrible. I proved once again that if I eat a lot of carbs/grains my gut feels better. I’m going with the flow and eating primarily …
