Hi everyone
I'm new to this forum, but not new to my love of food!
I'm a 30 year old guy who's physically disabled with Congenital Muscular Dystrophy, however that doesn't stop me from getting in the kitchen and being creative! My parents say I'm good at directing traffic...
In 2014 I had a bit of a food crisis that made me look at food in a whole way. I was diagnosed with dysphagia which means I have trouble swallowing. In the blink of an eye I now had to puree all of my food. This seemed like the end of the world almost! I began to ask myself "how will I ever eat pizza again? Or a juicy steak? Would I never be able to eat my favourite foods ever again?".
We gradually learned the techniques and found out that yes, pizza and steak are very doable and still just as tasty! We did find it rather daunting at first as there are not many (if any really) consumer-friendly guides for those with this lifestyle challenge.
With my creativity and desire to help others, I developed and launched a blog (link below) as a resource for those similar to my situation with a passion and love of food! I have many recipes on the site and plan to add more, however have been preoccupied lately and unable to dedicate as much time as I'd like to it.
I look forward to sharing my culinary journey with all of you and learning along the way!
