Updated Menu

 I finally updated the "menu" following completion of the allergy elimination diet.  As you will notice, bread is still mostly off the list - completely, for me. We all found the food listing to be a handy reminder of good things to eat during the elimination - it reduced the tendency to fall back on typical snack items.  Lavender particularly likes to look at the menu when thinking of what she wants to pack for lunch or have for an after-school snack.   Everything listed is free of concentrated and refined sweeteners, and nearly everything is free of all flours as well.  There are so many whole foods choices!
