Spending the day preparing for my two weeks of no iodine. Ugh!! How sad is this list of foods I will be eating. To be honest with you it just plainly makes me depressed. I love food. Love it. On the bright side I found lots of sites out there to help you know what you can eat and what you cant. Even sites with lots of recipes to cook. Looks like Bryan will be taking his culinary skills to a new level :)
