Call it a cleanse, a fresh start to the new year, boredom, either way, I need to drop a few post-prego pounds. Starting January 2nd (I love a new year's day brunch, so definitely not the 1st) I'm kissing gluten goodbye for a month. I'll just say no to warm crusty bread, creamy pasta, and my morning cheerios. This site is chock full of recipe ideas, I'm thinking big salads, grilled chicken and hearty quinoa dishes - does anyone have a suggestion to throw my way? image: 101 cookbooks
What about our brunch on the 3rd? Croque Monsieurs? I think you should start on the 4th :)
ReplyDeletegood for you! that can't be easy, but you may have just inspired me to do something of the same!

You should look at Lisa's blog - she's been gluten free for a couple years now so I'm sure she has lots of good recipes (some are even on her blog)!

good for you! we always start our new year resolutions on the 2nd too. no reason to rush into anything on the first- that is a day of recovery and rest :)
ReplyDeleteI have to eat a gluten free diet too, but for intolerance issues. It's not an easy monster to tackle! I'm a huge fan of Gluten Free Girl's blog, too. Great post!!
ReplyDeleteSo impressed! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGluten Free can hide lots of fat when cooking for example when using almond flour.
ReplyDeleteI have a gluten free friend. She does it and feels better when she does but she really takes care to avoid an overdose of calories when it comes to baked goods.
Good Luck
There are a ton of sights out there.
Cheers~Ivy
No gluten? Whoosh! That would be so hard for me

ReplyDeleteNo suggestions, but I love quinoa. This is some seriously tasty stuff!
ReplyDeleteHi, my husband has Celiac disease so no gluten for him. So I have labeled my gluten free recipes on my blog. They are on in the left sidebar. Good luck!
ReplyDeletemy mom just bought me a gluten free cookbook that uses almond flour for all kinds of recipes. we made chocolate chip cookies and some other items and they were yum. wish i could remember the book name cause the recipes were simple.
ReplyDeletevanillaspoonfuls.blogspot.com has lots of yummy recipes gluten free, although she hasn't updated in a while..you can also catch her personal blog at absolutelynotmartha.blogspot.com she's great, enjoy! And good luck!
ReplyDeleteCheck out The Gluten Free Lab on Facebook. Some recipes but a lot of info. My friend Heather and a few of her friends are GF, they have a blog too.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your Gluten free diet. I've always wanted to see how it'd be and how my body would react... cheers to you for actually doing it!
