Bye Bye Gluten

Almost two weeks gluten-free, I'm on a roll (that's a pun)!  It hasn't been as difficult as I thought it would be and I'm inspired to keep it positive. Thank the gods for the internet, where I've found a plethora of information and gained a respectful perspective on people living with Celiac Disease. I don't have Celiac, but I do think there is a connection between gluten-sensitivity and aging.

Kudos to Trader Joe's! Check out this awesome gluten-free list I found online. One of my favorites, even before I took the leap, is the Chicken Curry Tenders. To offset the insane sodium count, I grill, slice, toss (over heat) with coconut milk, a bunch of veggies, a little Thai basil, serve over rice and voila - a meal even my kids devour! TJ's also carries Udi's bread and man, that's good stuff. And in case you've never tried this, Bragg's Liquid Aminos is a great gluten-free alternative to soy sauce. I've been using it for years and actually prefer it to traditional soy.


Have an amazingly healthy GF day!

Ok my beautiful eloquent one... Great job! I'm so thrilled that GF is working for you and you feel better. If it does anything to slow your aging process, however, you are in trouble. Keep your license handy because you will be carded frequently. Thank you for your blogs. I love reading them. xoxox
