Ok, so I've said in the past that I've discovered that Gluten and I are not friends. Be it because of the genetic changes made in wheat to make it stronger, disease resistant, and drought tolerant, or my body simply decided wheat, and other gluten containing grains are the enemy, I am not sure. I simply know that avoiding those grains that contain wheat equates to clear head and minimal-to-no joint pain.
No pain? That is definitely a reason to NOT eat wheat! So no wheat ... no bread ... no thick gravy's or roux ... no pies or pastries ... Right? NOT!
Besides removing the grains all together, there are substitutes. There are ways to create delicious, family-friendly, non-GF friendly foods that everyone can enjoy. The past couple weeks I've determined to eat right. I've made Fried Rice with battered Orange Chicken -- GF, Zuppa Tuscona (e.g. Creamy Potato & Sausage soup), pork chops, crepes, tortillas, even PIZZA!
I have a hundred recipes I want to make, perfect, and share, all GF that encompass the flavors I loved in wheat based foods. I don't really want to reinvent the wheel, there are tens, if not hundreds, of very talented bloggers and cooks out there that have done this job for me already. Skillfully. Now if I find something that isn't available online to try, or perhaps improve upon or tweak to my own satisfaction, I will gladly do my best to create a recipe and share it with all.
I am now on a mission to find the perfect Lasagna recipe. The doughy, chewy noodles layered with meat, sauce, cheeses, steaming from the oven. So satisfying, comforting, and something I've not had in ages.
