I'm just venting and ranting. Feel free to ignore.
I have a number of food allergies. The ones that I know/can think of offhand:
bananas
cherries
apples
peaches
kiwi
mango
avocado
carrots
celery
soy
most nuts
I am allergic to most of these when they're raw, but usually okay if they're cooked. (for example, raw apples are a no go, but applesauce is fine.)
So, I'm trying to eat healthy and lose weight. I've tried on and off for years to lose weight but it's hard, especially when people tell me to eat things like carrot and celery sticks and apple slices, and I can't. I'm once again getting together a list of healthy snacks/light meals that I can make, and looking online at resources has me a little disappointed. So many suggestions I see are along the lines of "Frozen bananas! Avocado deviled eggs! A handful of almonds! Carrot sticks with hummus! A smoothie with mango and soy milk!"
Sure, there are plenty of things out there that I can eat. I'm just sad there are so many easy snacks like veggie sticks that I miss out on. I am going to try bell peppers and hummus, though...I like red bell peppers pretty well.
