You're about to join an elite group of about 7 (which includes some family members), so allow me to help before you change your mind! You can subscribe via email in the box at the top right hand side of the page. <br /> <br />Sadly, I was going to bed (it's not even 9pm) when I got notification of your comment, or I'd go visit your blog. Tomorrow, then. <br /><br />Swank dieting is a bit intimidating...at first. It DOES get better, and of course you can always ask me if you have any questions. Having been in the Swank trenches for a while now, I have some pretty tasty tips and recipes. I'll say this: the book is worth buying. Perhaps there's a used copy on Amazon?<br /><br />Okay, off to bed then. (No, I'm not 84 years old...)<br /><br />Ms. CrankyPantsMs. CrankyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13639705108258882767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-17377460869356819332013-04-27T18:44:55.317-04:002013-04-27T18:44:55.317-04:00Oh I am so glad to have found your blog! i am abou...Oh I am so glad to have found your blog! i am about to commence swank dietdom (just looking at the book on amazon tonight and the price nearly put me off food entirely ;) ).

My husband has an aversion to hot creamy ch--se (that doesn't sound quite right), so M&C has never been a big menu item 'round these parts, but I do know what you mean about saving a special item for a big occasion. <br /><br />Swank allows olive/vegetable/soybean oils and a few more, just not tropical ones like palm and others I'm forgetting, no doubt. I love the pesto pizza idea! My wonderful friend Amy is making me a pizza this weekend that follows Swank regulations (she pitied me after the post above). I am SO excited.

I was so overjoyed, I saved it for a special birthday meal (yes--those who can eat anything cannot even begin to understand). When the big moment arrived, it tasted sort of like...slime mixed with dirt on soggy, goopy rice noodles. And soon after, I discovered that nutritional yeast (a frequent ingredient in non-dairy so-called ch--se) is something I am also allergic to. Let's just say it was the worst birthday meal ever. Alas. <br /><br />I once saw a letter someone wrote to a gluten free food company, commenting on their gluten free granola. She told them that ever since she was a little girl she'd always wondered what it would taste like to eat dirt. And now, having eaten their granola, she finally knew.<br /><br />I can't say I've wondered about eating hamster droppings, but I love the description!<br /><br />Does Swank allow non-meat oils? Olive oil? Homemade pesto pizza with veg is not bad. Although, granted, having to actually make it is bad (I hate to cook).Paper Chipmunk (aka Ellen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15014954266777016841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-87757830678740102812013-01-14T20:18:35.647-05:002013-01-14T20:18:35.647-05:00I have nothing to add but :D

I'll check my copy of the book (arrived last week, but I've put it off in favor of "He's Just Not That Into You," which alarmingly describes every man I've ever known, but that's neither here nor there, now, is it?) and see if I can make you some kind of wholegrain homemade pizzas to freeze.
