Surprisingly, this is a common question I get asked when people know I drastically changed my diet.  Pretty quickly, someone will ask how I eat the way I do, when Wafiq can eat anything he wants.

At this point, I don’t even know what dairy is.  Unless we’re talking eggs.  Because is that dairy? If so, then I eat eggs but no other dairy, & I mean none.

One Year Later, Anaphylactic Shock

We’re in March.  And March is a big deal for me.  It used to be because March is the month SXSW festival hits Austin, TX and the city turns into a jungle gym of adventure. People flood the city, coming from everywhere, and little Austin Texas doesn’t seem so little anymore.

BASICS: Wild Rice Melody Recipe

Back to Basics with one of my favorite things – WILD RICE!  If you haven’t introduced wild rice into your diet, it’s time.  Wild Rice has a slightly nuttier flavor than traditional white or brown rice.  I realize white & brown rice gets all the attention in the rice category but take a gander to the wild side of the grocery store next time you’re there.  If you want the real deal, look for wild rice from Minnesota or Canada.

It’s Okay To Say No Thank You To Food & Alcohol

FOOD & ALCOHOL!  This is a topic that I’m becoming more familiar with than I ever wanted to be.  I always knew food & alcohol had a special place in everyone’s lives but had no idea the true significance.

Every time you turn on the TV I can promise you’ll see either FOOD or ALCOHOL or someone talking about one of those two things.  You don’t realize it until you don’t do it anymore.
