Fast. Low-Fat. Yummy. Best of all, good for your tummy!

Many of you know I can't eat much these days. I have had to cut out tomatoes(my favorite), a lot of fiber, some dairy, no carbonation(except Ginger Ale), fats in general, too much sugar, red meats, some preservatives and the list goes on and on. When I say tomatoes, I mean ANYTHING with tomatoes. This includes salsa, ketchup, anything that lists the ingredients tomato paste, tomato puree, etc. Spaghetti is out, along with lasagna. If I eat these things, I might as well die. I am sure the ER is tempted to lock their doors when they see me coming. The doctors have yet to figure out what my ailment is, since this has been ongoing for some time. Not too long, only 8 years. No one in my family has had this terrible curse brought upon them, but then again no one in Mike's family has been struck by cancer twice in 2 years.
So in an effort to help my family live a long, healthy and prosperous life, I would like to start this blog called Slim Pickin's. Mike and I can both benefit from healthy food choices, and I would like to see my children develop a taste for healthy food. We eat good around here, but obviously not good enough for my sensitive belly. I have somewhat of a sweet tooth, which if not satisfied leads to binging on much chocolate and ice cream. I know some of you have told me about your stomach ailments, and I won't say who but you know who you are. So I hope you can also benefit from slim pickin's. This blog is not just for us, but for all of you who enjoy a tasty meal or treat that is low-fat. This is for EVERYONE!
I will be listing recipes that I come across that are low-fat and family friendly. Most of them I have altered for my tummy. I hope you will give me feedback and new recipes your family enjoys. Just remember, they have to be Fast, low-fat, yummy, and good for your tummy!

Cool idea for a blog! Holy cow, now you have two to keep up with! If I had anything else cool to blog about, I would do a second blog, but I don't. I'm excited to try those recipes. Especially the fajitas. We had fajitas the other day with McCormicks seasoning and is was pretty nasty. This one sounds yummy!
