Figuring out Free…
Hi.
My name is Alea and I’m a Realfoodivore. Um… that means I eat as much as I can from scratch, free of the stuff that makes me sick. Which is a long list. I figure if I’m going to live till I am 100, I better darn well get cooking.
Honestly, what I want is to be healthy when I’m old. Heck, healthy right this very instant as well. I will be that crazy old lady in a bright pink feather boa who walks down the street in garish electric blue stilettos and neon pink nails, just cause I can. At 93. Of course, achieving that level of healthy eccentricity means I’ll have to both shop and eat right. Shopping? Feather boas? No problem. Eating- err. A little more difficult.
Regardless of the rather long list of foods I can’t have, I am determined to eat real food, preservative free, from scratch that is good to my innards and gizards. So here I am. Trying to figure out what it means to live free.
This blog is to record those ‘messings arounds’ in the kitchen, and a place to make allergen-free versions of the beautiful things I ate at my Nonna’s when I was little.
Some people drink- I cook. At least I am productive :)
This blog is free of:
Gluten/Wheat, Dairy/Casein, Soy, Corn, Eggs, Refined Sugar, Peanuts, Sulfites, Nitrates, Shellfish. (There are a heck of alot more things I can’t eat, but I figure this list is long enough as it is. )
Take a look around. Come join the happy madness.
And please. Take very good care of your gut.

Hi Alea
I am so excited that you finally did this! I love the ideas so far, and am tempted to try them myself- that will at least let you know if a “beginner” can manage to replicate some of these recipes :)
