I really do love to cook (the cleaning up part, not so much). However, since having Eleanor I haven't been doing much "new" cooking. I've stand with the old stand by recipes. The only times I have ventured out are when I have had to cook something new for cooking club.
Well, times they are a changin'. Out of neccessity really. As you may have read, I am now on a gluten free diet. I feel great. I have had only 1 sick episode in over a month. That was due to eating some prepared salad at a retreat...I should have known better. I had no idea what was in it. There are many items on the market now that are gluten free. Some are yummy, and some taste.like.cardboard. REALLY! I had tried many different things. I have found a bread that I like, biscuits that are o.k. and cookies that rival Pillsbury. However...it is all about twice the price of "normal" food. Some things I am willing to pay for, like the bread. I just can't make my own bread at this point. Especailly, when I am the only one eating gluten free bread.
So, I have decided that at least once a week I am going to try my hand at making something new gluten free. Because honestly, most things that are gluten free aren't bad. And if I didn't tell you they were gluten free you might not even know! Here is to trying new recipes!
