A big part of treatment for fibromyalgia is diet. Some theorize that hypoglycemic diets are best, but there are more than a few hypoglycemic diets to choose from. After gathering enough courage and resolve to decide that feeling better is better than eating all the oh so delectable comfort foods, I chose one of the most vicious of all (why???) and began my new "no, not that, or that, or that!" diet. I can either eat nothing I know of, or a bunch of things I've never heard of. I'm learning. A lot. And I'm hungry. A lot.
Days passed of nothing but chicken and veggies, or brown rice and veggies, or blah blah BLAH (with veggies...) and so my craving for mac and cheese was beyond ridiculous. I looked up a soy recipe online and decided to give it a try. After spending my son's trust fund on a series of unfortunate ingredients, I began my experiment. When Nelson called from the grocery store and said he'd found a cheese substitute that claimed to "melt," I should have been suspicious. But, desperation being what it is, I decided to give it a try.
Following the directions to a "T", I blended my tofu and melted my meltable cheese substitute. After about 10 minutes, I decided my "cheese" had "melted" about all it was going to. Back to the blender then, to be blended with the previously blended tofu. I dumped it on my brown rice pasta and dug in.
You know, as long as I kept my nose plugged it wasn't half bad.
