Simplifying my diet

I have always had allergies,eczema and asthma. They seem to think that all that is related to each other. Than, about six months ago I was diagnosed with reflex. I know, right! I'm 23 years old and I have to take the purple pill every day. I'm way to young for this, and as of lately,not even my meds are working well.

So I have decided to try to Daniel Diet. Parts of it were taken from Daniel's refusal to eat anything the King gave him. He survived and prospered on veggies and fruit for 10 days.

So my plan has been to eat all fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds, oats and rice and olive oil and some spices. You can only drink water.
I am expecting to see a change in how I feel by about Thursday. It's amazing what food does to our body, good and bad. I will keep you updated about my progress, until then, here is a recipe I made for lunch today. SO GOOD!

One bag of instant brown rice
Homemade pesto: Handful of basil, olive oil, garlic(chopped), walnuts, salt to tast
Fresh Tomato

Dice up the tomato
Blend pesto ingredients in a food processor or blender.
Toss together and eat!

How easy and so flavorful. More to come....
