Buttermilk biscuits from scratch last night, plus homemade ham and potato soup. I'd never made buttermilk biscuits before but it looks like I will be making them often now. The guys devoured them. I salivated (as I'm mostly grain-free right now.)
🍽️
Tip: If you get a bone-in/spiral cut ham, freeze the hambone for later use. I used preservative & antibiotic-free diced ham but added a ham bone I froze during the holiday season for an added depth of flavor.)
[Egg & peanut/legume free biscuits. Grain, dairy, egg, legume free soup.]

Sjögren's (autoimmune disease) Awareness Month 💠
After 10 months of being in remission or mild symptoms, I'm in a flare (Sjogren's, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Raynaud's) which means I'm back on immunosuppressants. It's not really a good time for that given the pandemic. BUT I am a warrior and I will battle this beast. In fact, I will battle this for the rest of my life because autoimmune diseases do not have a cure and are chronic, often invisible, illnesses. My rheumatologist thinks the severe sinus infection I had Feb/March helped trigger this flare.
💠
The more you know - facts on Sjogren's:
*My body attacks moisture producing glands. Why are dry eyes a big deal? The dryer the eyes, the more susceptible to infections, infections can lead to ulcerations, ulcerations...you get the idea. This also includes glands & membranes in my mouth, digestive track, sinuses, lungs, etc.
* Some peeps, like me, have extraglandular Sjogren's, meaning it is more than dryness issues. Every major organ can be affected. The 2nd pic shows all possible symptoms.
* People with the same autoimmune disease will NOT necessarily have the same symptoms, or even have them present in the same way! Please don't compare me to someone else you know with the same disease.
* Peeps with autoimm issues may suffer from terrible pain/fatigue/neurological issues, etc. Reach out to them and check on them bc they may not have the energy to reach out to you! 💠
For those in this autoimmune/chronic illness war, I see you. I feel for you. Remember that you are not alone. You are strong and fierce. You are a real warrior.
