ED#37-42 Chicken Pizza Crust...and Hives

What--you can make pizza crust with chicken? Yes, you can! I used 10oz canned chicken, one egg, one-half of an avocado, and spices (oregano, onion, salt, pepper, basil). I combined and baked at 475 degrees for 10 minutes or so, until the top was golden brown. I then cut pieces of it and put it with veggies in my lettuce wraps. It was salty and delicious. So good. I might try using chicken thigh meat or drumsticks, but the canned was so quick and easy. I think Steven would like it--especially if I topped it with sauce and cheese. In addition to the hives, I think my eyes have been puffier too. I have to figure this out.

ED#32-36 Hives Remain, Going Back to Basics

The hives have not gone away; in fact, I woke up with more on my left thigh. I tried coconut oil. I tried Neosporin (yes, it works on everything else!). I tried not itching and full-blown itching. This morning I went to the health services at work and she said it looked like an allergic reaction--brilliant. She put Benadryl gel on it and told me to take one Claritin (antihistamine) until it went away.

If I look at my Excel spreadsheet, it looks like sardines may have caused the reaction initially. I had more sardines over the weekend. Ugh. Or, it could be the Insta-Ketones protein bar (I want to take these to Iceland!). Or, it could be a build-up of histamines from the avocados. Or, or, or... It is frustrating. I am not going to take the Claritin, but I may purchase the Benadryl cream. I made waffles out of eggs/coconut flour. No reaction. I need to switch up my vegetables--the pictures of my dinners are way too similar, day in and day out.

Check out the picture of Brenda! I had a great consult with her last week. She's such a good sport. And in the five minutes between my head hitting the pillow and my eyelids falling shut, I'm enjoying Gary Taubes' book, The Case Against Sugar.

I'm still running; see the picture of Rock Creek. I love DC.

ED#31 Hives and Radishes

I have a couple of hives on my upper thigh. I am not sure what it is from, given I had chicken last night. Even so, I am forging ahead introducing radishes. I thinly sliced them, coated with avocado oil, and roasted them to perfection. Is it a delayed reaction to the sardines? Brussels sprouts? I will have to wait and see.
