Because Jess is now extremely sensitive to MSG, we avoid it entirely. This has made cooking a new learning experience for us, as we discovered how many places it can be hidden. In addition to that challenge, we also cook lactose free because Meesh is lactose intolerant. In some recipes, if we are just referencing a recipe that we did not create, we are using MSG, or lactose free versions of what the recipe may call for. In recipes created by us, we are now including all of our tips on how we specifically avoid MSG and Lactose.
