Millions of people suffer with migraine headaches and most doctors do nothing more than prescribe drugs with harsh side effects that don't always work. I was one of those people. After suffering most of my life with this debilitating disorder, along with my daughter, I wanted to find an alternative. Food was my answer. Additives and even certain natural foods are known triggers for many migraine sufferers. Reading labels and developing recipes using natural products, fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs became my obsession. I was alarmed by the astounding amount of additives used in foods and I have put together an extensive list of products that are additive free. This book was created with hours of research and trial and error by eliminating the food triggers that can cause migraine.
This book is not just for people who suffer with migraine. It is for anyone interested in eliminating additives from their diet and enjoying food that is in it's natural state, not hidden by preservatives and artificial ingredients. After all, you are what you eat!
Your whole family will enjoy meals from basic comfort food such as meatloaf, roasted chicken, fajitas to more exotic dishes. Using fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices to create healthy salads, vegetable dishes, protein snack bars and stir frys will make a difference in how you feel. Cooking from scratch is not as complicated as you may think. It is surprisingly easy to make your own tortillas, crackers, granola, bread, stock, soups, sauces and dressings. It not only tastes so much better, but you know what you're eating.
