Going Gluten Free For Lucy

I'm not going to lie. There once was a time that even the mere thought of eating something Gluten and Dairy Free would make me run for the hills. I surley thought I would have starved to death or have Lucy on formula with in a couple day. Well, here we are 3 weeks later and guess what...I"M ALIVE!! I actually feel pretty good. I can't definitivley say that i see a difference in my energy or my mental state; however, i can say that i have noticed a difference in my body, physically.

The fact that i can eat carbohydrates: potatoes, Corn products, rice and deserts that have wheat alternative flours, has made the transition a lot easier. Mostley i'm missing my milk. Everyone who knows me KNOWS how much i love my Fat Free Organic Milk. I can honestly say that i'd be okay giving up Dairy: cheese, sour cream, yogurt, creamer, ice cream, ect... if i could still have milk . Maybe i'll concider that after i'm done sustaining Lucy....hmmmm.....? I'll have to think about that.

I've always loved cooking but now it's a little different. It's so easy to throw butter in a pan put some flour in and add some milk to make a rue for soups and gravy bases but now i find that i actually have to concoct mixtures that consist of NOTHING I've ever used before AND make it taste good. The challenge has been trying at times but over all i think I'm doing a good job. And the food is pretty tasty.

Below are some dishes and baked goods that i've made, from my own trial and error.
