Finally I tried them! It only took me how long? Pete loved them too - we also made collard chips with them and they were better than Kale chips!

That filling sounds great! I had been hesitant to try these because they didn't look really appetizing, but I like the idea of pureed squash and beans. I think I am going to be sticking to phase one recipes for a bit to. Thanks!

Wow Iris, I have learned so many new ideas from you! This filling sounds incredible. Now I have more experimenting to do..... :)

You may want to consider testing lemons again in another 1 to 2 months to see if you still get the same reaction. -Ali :)

These look flipping amazing! What a great idea with the collard greens. I bet they would be good with a spicy peanut sauce to dip into. I'm sorry to hear about the lemons and almonds though. I think I buy a bag of lemons every week. I use them for everything.

Plain schmlain. I bet they were delicious. You know how people are about real food - if the stuff isn't loaded with flavorings, it tastes plain. Not to assume anything about your friends, I'm just sayin'. I'd eat that up and say YUM.

Btw. Love your new profile pic! <3

2010-02-12T08:08:05.629-05:00

That looks really good.
You wouldn't know that something that looks that would be good for you, but it is.
Thank-you for sharing.

Your collard wraps look amazing!

I really like the idea of adding roasted squash and brussels sprouts to the spread. Layers of flavor.

Firebear - This is the first time I've had collard greens in a really long time, but they didn't taste bitter to me. I think the filling kind of overpowers them actually.

Those are so pretty. I have never had collard greens. I was told they are bitter. Is that true? Bitter is not always a bad thin. at least not in my opinion. Great post, thanks for sharing!

Sorry to hear about the lemons, etc., but these collard wraps must have made up for it! I adore raw collard wraps (you don't even have to blanch the collards--just wash and go, raw! I find the flavor even better that way, and they hold up better, too). I love the idea of "simple savory"--so much of what I eat can be classified that way.

2010-02-10T08:45:00.674-05:00

These sound really great. I love cabbage rolls, and I would imagine collards would work really well as a "rolling" leaf. I think the addition of sunflower seeds would be so tasty here. I think I need to whip up a batch of these for lunches! I'd love to experiment with various herbs. Yum!

You've inspired me Iris! I've never had collard greens before but I will definitely try them thanks to you! Maybe your tummy will like things better when you're all clean and fresh! Hope so.

Hi again Iris,

To answer your question from my blog, other than gluten (which I had diagnosed by a gastroenterologist after it landed me in hospital), lemons and almonds:

Corn - allergy (it started out as nausea and a severely upset stomach within three minutes of eating it, and has developed into anaphylaxis with subsequent violent flu symptoms including aching joints and nausea [ie. it drops my immune system like a horse tranquilizer]).

Tomatoes - sensitivity (my lips and tongue swell up, and I feel generally unwell).

Fish - sensitivity (my cheeks go bright red, I get a rash on my diaphragm and under my chin, and I feel generally unwell. I'm fine with shellfish and calamari, which is ironic because these are what the majority of people react to).

The more in tune you are to your body's signals (which you definitely seem to be), the
more likely it is you'll spot these symptoms. Because celiac disease is an auto-immune disease, sufferers will always have to be vigilant about the possible offending protein molecules in other foods which they might react to. The key, I have found, is to rotate your foods a lot if possible so that you aren't eating the same things on subsequent days.

I hope this helps. Happy health hunting!

They sound and look terrific to me, Iris! Everyone has different flavor requirements. For example, hubby and I find that others use tons more salt that we do (I will add some salt to a recipe, but otherwise, we rarely add salt). I've found that when I eat cleaner (which clearly you are doing with the elim diet), even the most simplest combinations burst with flavor. :-)

2010-02-10T05:31:25.385-05:00

Ah yes, flavour.

It is abundant in simpler foods such as vegetables WHEN your tastebuds have been weaned off of overly-processed foods and recipes. I'm guessing that's why your friends had that reaction.

Interesting that you can't eat almonds - me either. Bad headache, thirst and "stomach upsets" (to put it in a gentile fashion) ensue after consuming those innocent looking scoundrels.

2010-02-10T02:19:43.578-05:00

Those look wonderful! I have been looking for a grain free, but convenient way to make "sandwiches" for my family. A collard leaf is large enough to make a sturdy wrap.
