I ate chocolate covered Strawberries on Valentine's day and woke with a migraine. I only ate four! My relationship with has interesting through the years. I don't do well-eating grain and sugar. It messes me up, bloats me make me a miserable human… plus my sugar numbers always run high because I have PCOS. So, there is a lot I can't eat! I am always looking for recipes.
