Changes in Life

I have not posted any new recipes or anything since I found out I had to be gluten free. It has been a long journey! But I am finally getting things more under control.

Just as I was figuring out the gluten thing... I now have to give up dairy! Not easy, but I am surviving. I have been searching the web for good blogs with recipes and not finding a lot that have family friendly recipes. They have great things that we would not eat... so I am going to be more diligent in posting on this blog. One to keep my recipes together and two I want to help out other people like me who have to be gluten and dairy free. I will post things I find and try or things I make up on my own!

I also will be posting gluten free/dairy free foods that I have purchased and enjoy. It is hard to keep trying stuff that is not good!

Gluten Free

I just posted on my other blog about my Celiac Disease. So I guess that the ingredients and recipes on this blog will be changing. Hopefully that will be able to help others who are going gluten free also!
I just started yesterday. We have lots of gluten in our house, but I was able to find things that were safe to eat.
Last night I made a quick improvise and it was really good- to me anyway (my husband liked it too). I had planned on making pizza- yum!! But none for me... So I found our corn tortilla chips (which are gluten free) and came up with the following recipe:

Pizza Nachos
corn tortilla chips
mozzarella cheese
bell pepper
pizza sauce (checked the ingredients and it was gluten free)
pepperoni (also was gluten free- the kind I had)
**You can add any topping**

In an oven safe dish- spray with PAM (gluten free). Layer chips on the bottom, pour pizza sauce over the chips, and add other toppings. I baked it on 400 for 5 minutes and it was perfect.

All very easy and I still felt like I had pizza!!!

starting off

I am excited to have a blog with the goal of finding joy in all things, from the big to the small.
