Allergy-Free Rosemary Chive Potato Chips

Potato chips are by far my favorite junk food treat.  Going allergy-free meant I had to give up most chips as they are fried in vegetable oil with soy and have diary or wheat in the flavorings.   Little did I know that making my own would be so easy with only a few simple ingredients.

You will need:

Potatoes (I used red but any kind will work, including sweet potatoes!)

Fresh Rosemary

Fresh Chives

Olive Oil

Sea Salt

-Lightly coat a cookie sheet with olive oil.

-Thinly slice your potatoes and spread them evenly out on the sheet.

-Sprinkle your fresh rosemary and chives over the slice potatoes.

-Lightly sprinkle some more olive oil and your sea salt over the sliced potatoes.

Bake at 400 degrees 30 minutes or until golden brown.

I like to eat them with one of my favorite allergy-free dressings.

Dairy Free: Drew's Roasted Garlic & Peppercorn Salad Dressing

I Eat Allergy Free

I didn't start eating allergy free by choice but only after getting sick a few years ago.  My face, fingers, and joints were severely swollen.  I was getting rashes on my face, hands, and back of my neck.  I was tired ALL the time and got headaches.  I was a mess emotionally too.  I was angry, annoyed by everything, inpatient and so on!  The doctors put me on steroids on and off for a year until I finally took my health into my own hands and went on a food allergy diet.  The doctors had varying opinions anywhere from Lupus to environmental allergies but none of them believed me when I said I thought all my symptoms were related to food.  I started my food allergy diet with only cutting out one food group and I choose gluten.  After a week I was able to go off all of my steroids and antihistamines.   

Now I don't eat any of the following after slowly cutting out each food type one by one.

Tree Nuts

Dairy

Gluten

Eggs

Soy

Shellfish

I feel great and don't need any medicine anymore.

I'm telling my story here because I know food allergies and intolerances are becoming more common. Probably because of how processed food is now and all the chemicals used on them.   Eating allergy free can be tough but I plan to start sharing some of my favorite allergy free products and recipes here soon.
