Low Iodine Diet Week 2 commences

[thtrelady]

Actually I have a fair amount of hope about this week despite a frustrating weekend of failing to make decent spaghetti sauce. It's very soupy. I used the wrong tomatoes. Oh well, chalk it up to a learning experience and pack it full of meat. At least, that's my plan for it

Sorry it is sucking in the kitchen. This is my personal 'Ok, never f****** mind' notice when even cooking sucks. It means I am just at the limit. I can't have tomatoes at all, so imagine making a passable red sauce with NO tomatoes! See, now you should feel better?

I heard good things about the sauce at this link:

Mine does have beets ...but has carrots, red wine, beef broth and sloe gin as the main ingredients.

Oh that sauce sounds YUM! I'll have to try it when I'm allowed butter again, and canned tomatoes also. Although not using tomatoes right now would just about kill me. I can't wait for this damned diet to be over.

I suppose you could make it with fresh tomatoes, simply cook it longer. And are all fats out, or just butter? Cause I bet it would be yum with some good olive oil, too.

Just dairy is out for now, but only another week and a half. I can do this!
