I am so excited to try these foods during my Daniel fast, you have made the Daniel fast seem like a walk in the park! I do have a question though, can I have whole grain bread and pasta?
Thanks for your feedback! Yes, you can have whole grain pasta. Bread is a different situation. No yeast is allowed, although you can have Flatbread.
