Hold the Gluten!


For those of you who don't know, I recently became gluten free due to health reasons. I had to cut out some major carbs and drastically change my diet. At first it was a bit overwhelming but now I wouldn't have it any other way! I feel a lot more energized and alert, I've shed some pounds, and I feel happier. If you are new to a gluten free way of living or have Celiac Disease stick with me, you got this! Also, I have been making some pretty yummy recipes lately that I will post in another blog. Meanwhile you can find tons of recipes online or head over to Border's for a cook book. They have tons!

Today I just discovered a store right in between Westlake and Thousand Oaks called "Simply Gluten Free" I took a peak inside and they have so much yummy stuff! It's a quaint little store with specialty cereals, flour substitutes, bars, beer and wine, bread, pasta, and even pizza dough! Just when I thought I would never get to enjoy pizza again!
Even if you are trying to cut down carbs it's great to try and eat more gluten free foods. For bread I suggest Udi's Whole Grain Bread. It has the flavor and consistency of fresh bread. Not like some of the nut breads I've tried that are thick and fall apart easily.Recipes to come!
