I Used to Cry in the Grocery Store

Nuts and Berries for the rest of your life...

When I found out that I had to be strictly gluten free, fourteen years ago, I felt like I was destined to eat nothing but nuts and berries for the rest of my life.  The Allergen labeling hadn't started and this was long before being gluten free became a trend.  Going to restaurants was like playing russian roullette.  There were a few gluten free cookbooks... bad ones.  Did I mention that I've always been a picky eater?
Ok, so being gluten free is much easier now.  Scan the internet and find thousands of gluten free recipes that claim to be delicious. Well, some of them are good.  I can tell you that mine are.  I'll share my own gluten free pizza crust (I"ve never found one better), breads, cheesecake, and all sorts of advice about avoiding contamination at restaurants, potlucks and even your own kitchen. Maybe sometimes I'll even whine about my own food struggles, and we can help each other to be gluten free without resigning ourselves to eating just nuts and berries, or crying in the grocery store.
