Hello! My name is Teresa, owner of BLT Enterprises and writer of the Porkchops Applesauce blog.  I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in 2008, trying for years to figure out what foods work and don’t work for me but that is also tasty for my family.  Over the years I have had recipes that failed the “husband test” but also one’s that he really enjoyed.

Up until this year (2019) I had been pretty healthy.  Then in August 2019, I had horrible Crohn’s symptoms, I will spare those who don’t have Crohn’s the details, but those with some form of IBD know what I’m talking about!  This gave me a big wake up call to make significant change to my eating as well as adding exercise to my life.  What changes did I make?  I found after much thought about the foods I have eaten, and how I felt afterwards, I discovered I felt best when I ate home cooking, and less processed food (takeout, and store bought frozen meals and lunch meats).  In the last few years my husband said “you should have a Youtube channel of your receipes”.  Then one day it hit me, why not create a blog displaying my techniques and recipes that maybe will help others? Look for my Youtube channel coming soon!

Please note, I am not a medical processional and will not claim my recipes will work on IBD patients specifically.  That is why my blog is for EVERYONE and my hope is that no matter who you are you may be able to benefit from my recipes and ideas on how to make healthy and fast home cooked foods without it being time consuming.  Please go and subscribe to my newsletter to be alerted to new posts and recipes!  Happy cooking!
