THE END OF THE BEGINNING

First and foremost let me introduce myself-I'm Liz and I'm a bread-aholic.  The love of my life and I have been in a very monogamous relationship for the past 25 years and there is not a day that goes by that I don't let my love know how important it is to me by inhaling every single thing that even resembles bread in the slightest.

Then it happened.  That dreadful day I had been waiting for for the past 6 years since my lover decided to have serious quarrels with my stomach.  That day where I heard the words: "You cant eat gluten anymore."  As I looked up at my G.I. with my teary doe eyes, feeling as though my kitten had just run away from home (note: I do not even own a cat, so imagine the pain!), I realized that I actually may have to give this whole Gluten Free lifestyle a run for its money...or rather a run for MY money since apparently SUBTRACTING ingredients means RAISING the price of these "convenient" Gluten Free items.  Irony at its best I suppose?

So here I am, 25 years gone with something that has never let me down, who has been there through thick and thin..and sourdough...and marble rye...and honey wheat..AHH! No really though, who has been there through thick and thin and now I have to break up with Gluten just because some guy in a white coat told me too.  Puh-LEASE!  Breaking up with Gluten day 1.

Follow me as I review the products that I never would have looked at before my irreconcilable differences with gluten were pointed out to me so blatantly, as I attempt to make my favorite recipes cater to my new lifestyle and as I comically review this whole experience

  1. Congrats on the site! Everything looks great =D.

    Its interesting that you're a big bread person - I never was, because of the underlying celiac. Anyways, good luck! It really isn't as difficult as its cracked up to be!
