Going Gluten Free

Jan 7, 2013

   Well I have decided that I need to try to go gluten free. So I thought that I would blog about how I'm doing. Breakfast was easy. Rice Chex and Almond milk. I really couldn't figure out what to do for lunch so I ate some sunflower seeds and a water. but dinner was a bigger deal cause I have to make sure I feed the man too.
   So I got some recipes from allrecipes. I like this app because I can pick the recipe and tell it to make a shopping list for me. I love that. I made the Tossed Romaine and Orange Salad submitted by Pam Somers. I didn't read the reviews first but I did go back after. I liked this salad, but the dressing I felt had too much pepper. Erin said he felt the dressing was too oily. I think the next time I make it I will add cranberries and less pepper.
  Then for the main dinner I made the Simple Lemon Herb Chicken submitted by Carolyn Stilwell. This chicken had a very good taste but I think I over cooked it because it was a bit tough. So next time I will watch more closely.
   Then to top off the night we are watching the National Championship football game. So some tortilla chips with homemade guacamole and salsa. I mike the guacamole with two avocados, about 1 1/2 teaspoons of mayo and sea salt to taste.

   Well that is today. We will see how tomorrow goes.
