Prior to an autoimmune diagnosis, my favorite date night was Mexican. All things Mexican…all things cheese… You can imagine my “depths of despair” (thanks Anne of Green Gables) when I learned I could never have dairy again. NEVER. No gluten…no soy…AND NO DAIRY! I thought Mexican food was forever a memory. No more Mexican Date nights. 🙁 I had resigned to eating salad the rest of my life. I had no idea there were actually “options” out there!

So in discovering options, I also became excited in experimenting. My first experimenting goal? To recreate my favorite date night meal! And while some of it is not exactly as the restaurant’s…I actually ended up liking my version better! And what’s more!? You don’t have that over-stuffed, sick feeling when you are finished eating!
