Homemade with Love.


Living a lifetime with crazy food allergies means that food is always an issue. I'm thankful on a daily basis for an incredible man who loves to cook and keeps me fed with his creations. He always makes the  majority of our dinners from scratch, or as my gramma would say "homemade with love." When I was growing up, I really never had the chance to try new foods and homemade was saved for Sunday dinners or special holidays. The rest of the time, I ate the same things over and over again, and eating out was not really an option. Lots of packaged food though, as my mom could read the label and know I could eat it without spending the rest of the night in the ER. I grew to hate eating, which started an eating disorder and many years of battling my then skeleton body. My dh finally came along and made me healthy and whole by figuring out what he could make that I wouldn't get sick after eating. Now food isn't something I hate. And even though it still hurts when I eat, food is now enjoyable. The best though is when he creates from scratch, my "homemade with love" meals like the pizza that after decades of never being able to eat pizza, I could now eat it every day! Fresh dough from the Italian Centre, fresh grated mozzarella, rosemary ham, alfredo sauce and fresh pineapple chunks. Oh so good! I can't wait for dinner tonight!

Do you love to cook meals from scratch
and create "homemade with love" food?

your husband is truly a gem...wonderful that you love and appreciate him so...I also enjoy preparing "homemade with love" foods...though there are frozen foods because of a time factor...the other night we had Elio's frozen pizza and I added spinach, additional tomato sauce ( jarred ), spices and shredded cheeses...I do enjoy adding vegetables to many dishes, especially casseroles and omelets...my most favorite is breads, both yeast and "sodas"...I hope for you that food is a continued enjoyment, especially from your personal chef...tale care...sally

Your husband sounds so amazing and loving. As I get older I have more and more food sensitivities and it is indeed hard to eat and have someone cook for you. Stay well.

How wonderful that your husband cooks for you and that he makes things that you love. I like to cook from scratch but I also enjoy "shortcut" meals once in a while. Have a great week.

I hope Meredith you're able to sort out your food sensitivities. It's hard to live with, as we both know!
