Gluten-Free

Over the last month or so, I have been trying to eat gluten-free. I say TRYING because it is really, really hard to find things without any wheat, and made on equipment that has never touched wheat. Over the last month I have seen a few different doctors, bought kinds of flour I previously didn't know existed, and spent more time at the grocery store reading labels than I thought possible. I have days when I feel excited about re-learning how to cook as though it is some sort of adventure. At the same time, I have days overwhelmed by frustration when I find myself feeling sick, or having to throw away my most recent culinary creation that did not turn out the way that I had hoped.

I never realized how emotional this would be. Mainly because I can no longer eat the food that I love AND because the food that I make others don't love!
