Taking a break...maybe permanently

Hello all!

I have been thinking long and hard about this and I have finally come to a decision. My food allergies have been quite a burden recently. I've been working long hours and really struggling with the basics of feeding myself, let alone coming up with creative and interesting ways to feed myself. It's not worth sharing the nights when I take a can of cream of broccoli soup and mix it with some barley and eat that. I haven't had time to bake or even flip through the variety of recipes I've collected from my myriad sources, let alone cook them.

So I really have nothing to share with y'all. Therefore, I'm taking a break from blogging. It may be permanent. Some of the recent life changes I've been through may mean that I permanently struggle with food and resort on the same five or ten recipes.

The food allergies themselves are also wearing me down. I have no reserves when I get sick, and while I can recover, it takes longer each time from each illness. I am more susceptible to vitamin deficiencies with very little recourse on what to do about them. I suffer every time I eat something I shouldn't, and the effects are lasting longer.

It really boils down to the fact that I don't have the energy to be upbeat and positive about my allergies right now and I don't need to share all the downsides with you all the time. So I'm taking a break. It may  be forever, it may just be a few months. Who knows.

Please keep sending me recipes! I will get to them...eventually. :)
