People always see negatives. But the thing is, I do eat pasta, and cake, and pizza. I just have to make it myself, without gluten. To be perfectly honest, I eat better now than I did before going gluten free.
I wake up and make myself eggs with lots of veggies and a side of sliced tomatoes. Instead of eating something from a microwavable box for lunch, I have a salad with leftover chicken or I make a quick stir fry from whatever's in the fridge.
For dinner, I serve grilled or roasted meat, a potato or rice, and lots of veggies. If we want pasta, I make a rice pasta. Pizza? I use a gluten free crust mix. Which, by the way, makes some delicious cheesy bread.
When it comes to sweet stuff, I love experimenting with gluten free desserts. There's been brownies, cake, and donuts. My favorite so far?
Chex Treats
1 bag marshmallows
1/4 cup butter
7 cups of Chex (I mixed rice and corn)
handful of chocolate chips
Melt butter and marshmallows in microwave. Start with 1 minute, check every 20-30 seconds until marshmallows are melted and smooth.
Stir in Chex.
Put mixture into a well greased 13 x 9 inch pan, press until even.
Top with chocolate chips and press them into treats.
We won't discuss how quickly a huge batch disappeared in our house this week. Have you voted for my Gluten-Free Big Hit recipe today?

Yum sounds and looks delicious. Daily vote as well!
Looks yummy plus I love chex so that is a double yum! Thanks for sharing.
A girlfriend's daughter has to eat gluten free so she's become very inventive about cooking as well. You're right ... it's a very healthy way to eat.
In Canada, there are a lot of restaurants serving gluten free options these days ... a blessing for some!
Thanks for visiting my blog site.

That looks fabulous! Thanks for the recipe!
YUM! And yes, I voted for you today and yesterday so far!! Great recipe hun :)
That does look good! But, I'll admit, I can't imagine eating gluten-free. Mostly because I don't have your patience to make everything.
I voted for you!
I don't think you are crazy, I admire your strength! I have a friend who has Celiac's disease along with a myriad of other problems. We've talked about her diet restrictions and the things she's had to change. I asked her once if she was ever tempted to stray and she told me that the consequences were too great. Besides, there's super yummy recipes like this one out there!
That is so awesome!! A friend of mine just went gluten free and is having great results. She gets headaches now with just a bite of bread. Crazy. I'm sending her to your blog! :)

No one ever said gluten free had to be boring. This is a great example of getting creative.
That looks like such a yummy treat!
They look good, & sound fast and easy:)
That's awesome that you are able to do that. I don't know if I would have the patience, but I'm sure it's so much better for you.
Voted for you today :)
