LaLaGirl – Twinfinite Chaos! Parenting Multiples and Dealing with Autism

A little update on my gluten-free-ness. It’s going just swell! I had a moment of “uhhhh, what do I do now?” on Friday night when I went out with my girlfriends. I ended up having a BLT sandwich, except made without bread – so I guess it was basically like a salad, with a LOT of extra bacon on it. Lettuce, tomato, and bacon, layered on a plate with a smattering of mayo, and a generous drizzle of balsamic vinegar. It was really good! And I had enough gluten-free cocktails to catch a nice, healthy buzz, too. Yay!

I meant to update after my shopping trip, but forgot. The first store I hit was Super Target. I was disappointed there. I really didn’t find much at all, beyond the typical things I could have bought ANYWHERE, like Rice Chex. It was at my regular old King Soopers (Kroger) that I found gluten free soy sauce, teriyaki, apple sausages, and a few other things. I checked out Sunflower market, but couldn’t bring myself to spend five dollars on a smallish box of cereal. I’m still going to visit Whole Foods, but only for the few things I really need that I can’t find elsewhere. (Like rice flour, xanthan gum, and a quick & easy pizza crust mix I can use in a pinch.)

Here’s some of what I’ve had to eat lately: a chicken bowl at Tokyo Joe’s with GF teriyaki sauce, fries from Sonic, lots and lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, carnitas, grilled chicken, scrambled eggs, guacamole and chips, big bowls of chili, tons of iced tea…it’s all good. I’m not missing bread at ALL. I do miss tortillas, but I’ll adapt.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions – I’ve found some great sites! It’s going well. And, I’m finding that I’m not spending a fortune on weird foods – just eating what I CAN eat, and not worrying too much about what I can’t. I’m feelin’ good!
