Recipes from other Migraine Sufferers

I was contacted by someone else who has had great success with Dr. Buchholz's 1-2-3 Program, and wanted to know if I would like some more recipes. Sure!!! Thank you, Helena, for your recipes! The following recipes were created by Helena Caffrey. If you have read Dr. Buchholz's book and have recipes you would like to share, please contact me by e-mail. If they are migraine friendly, I may post them on my blog, and would of course give credit to you. My goal is always to make this diet more accessible to everyone. So, the more recipes there are available, the better!
