Thanks Jane. I'm looking forward to finding things I can eat that

will taste good and use the vitamix to prepare.

Your soup sounds delicious, unfortunately that's what keeps happening to

me...I see something that I would enjoy but then find many of the

ingredients I can't have right now.

In your soup, I can't have the butternut squash, nor onions. I like all

of those things.

The interesting thing is that the majority of vegetables I can have don't

appeal to me much ...but hoping I will find something that they taste good

in.

It certainly is a challenge, isn't it?

The day after finding out about the sensitivites, I woke up and sat there

and thought " I have no idea what to eat today.
