Gluten-Free

As of about three weeks ago I found out that I have several food allergies. Wheat, Rye, Barley, and Milk. I'm trying to stay positive about all the changes I've had to make, but I have to admit there are some days where I just want my familiar favorites. I'm rededicating this blog to my ups and downs as I explore cooking and baking gluten-free.

I have had some successes so far, I've made a fairly decent bread....still very different from what I'm used to (I used to grind my own wheat to make whole wheat bread). But, it was at least sturdy enough to make a peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich. I've made some brownies from a mix and brownies from my own gluten-free flour mix. The homemade brownies were hands-down better than the mix.

I want to use this as a chronicle in my journey of a gluten-free lifestyle. I'll post recipes that I've enjoyed, and hopefully I'll start tweaking some of my old favorites so that my family can still enjoy them.
