I went about 4 or so months 100% gluten free. Since I'm not celliac I don't have to worry about cross contamination that much (I did find out that if I cook eggs in the same frying pan as I just cooked a loaf of wheat bread french toast I get stomach cramps) so I don't worry about buying the oats that are certified gluten free.
Anyway, after a good time off of it I was bad and I ate a large portion of lasagna. It was an alfredo chicken one and cold at the time. It was also totally awesome. I was over emotional that day and no one was around to stop me. I regretted it for the rest of the weekend. My stomach felt awful and I got a bit of heartburn as well. Every once in a while since then I take a bite of something with gluten in it. Bread, muffin, bagel; a bite doesn't cause any serious issue for me. Sometimes heartburn or a bit of bloating. But one thing I have noticed was that the flavour just isn't the same any more. I actually don't like it. I don't know what it is but it just tastes wrong.
I have a few recipes that I'm going to share eventually because I love them and they are super easy to make. But one thing that I am not too fond of so far is the Robin Hood flour blend. I find it gives the end products a grainy texture I don't get with a simple white rice/corn starch blend. But before I get around to posting the recipes I will leave you with some gluten free things that I have found tasty over the last months.
Dempsters Gluten Zero Whole Grain bread. OH MY GAWD! That stuff makes the best gluten free toast I have had, and I have tried a lot. Toast is one thing I do not like to live without and now I don't have to!
Wild Roots Tortilla chips with kale and flax. If anyone knows where I can buy these I would be very grateful. They used to sell them at my local Costco but they no longer carry them. I considered cancelling my membership over it those things are so freaking good! Even my super picky daughter loved them. She'd do chores just to be allowed to eat a few!
Cheetos Crunchies. Did you know they are gluten free? Mmmmmmm....so bad for me but still so good!
