I COULDN'T DO IT!

Yes I know the 13th came and went and I thought about it all day. I wanted to eat that Ding Dong so bad but I didn't. I have been doing so good, why should I ruin my progress? I have been reading the Stephenie Meyer series "twilight" and I remind myself that I too am try to prefer a new diet. Edward (the vampire) does not hunt humans, he hunts animals to drink their blood. I see how he has to go without and the feelings he has and I can relate (although I am not a vampire I feel his anger and temptation). I really thirst or hunger for gluten but can not cross the line to fulfill that hunger or thirst. Call me stupid or whatever you want. This book is helping me get through my newborn days as an anti-glutite (if read the series you would understand). I have to thank Stephenie for writing such a wonderful series. This is the first book I have read since the Harry Potter first book (I didn't read the rest because they were boring). Her books are definitely not boring if you like vampire stuff! I LOVE THESE BOOKS! I cant wait till the 4th book arrives at my door!!!

The Original Pancake House

Now doesn't that look delicious? Well, it was!

For my 11th wedding Anniversary my husband and I went to eat at the Original Pancake House in Poway, CA. The owners daughter and my daughter were in a soccer league together. When I found out they owned the Original Pancake House in Poway I approached them about Gluten Free Pancakes and they stated they already had them. (I swear my mouth dropped, then a smile emerged and a tingle went down my spine). How cool is that! Being able to go out with your family or friends to a nice breakfast joint and being able to actually eat something Gluten Free (that you would normally have to cook yourself).

So, I order the Gluten Free Pancakes with Blueberries, Orange Juice and Country Potatoes. When my order arrived I couldn't believe my eyes. How could these be Gluten Free? I hadn't had a pancake since I found out I had Celiac Disease. I was skeptical in regards to what they would taste like and was extremely surprised. They weren't extremely heavy, they were just right! I was in heaven enjoying each bite like it were my last, until I realized, I could come back next weekend for more. I gave a bite to my husband and he was surprised as well. He isn't really a blueberry man, but he said they were really good. This really made my Saturday and Anniversary!

Thank you Original Pancake House for making a delectable Pancake! (It truly is your specialty!)

BTW for those of you who are not Gluten Free I recommend the Dutch Baby with lemon, butter and powdered sugar! If I could get one of those Gluten Free I would again be in heaven!

Ding Dong Countdown - 23 Days

Ally's 5th Birthday Party

We had Ally's Birthday on Saturday and on Friday my mom and I made the cake below for her party. She insisted on having a cake with a tiara that she can wear when shes eating her cake. If you didnt realize this is one of the Krispy Cakes my mom and I have been making. They can be made with the gluten free rice crispys that you get at Jimbo's. Sorry... I will not give our recipe for the treats... its special if you want us to make you a Krispy Cake ask for one =o)

Over Eating! Not Feeling Full!

Do you find that because you can't have Gluten you fill up on other things that aren't so great for you? For instance I used to eat sandwiches everyday for lunch (filling). Now I struggle to find something to eat that isn't salad (which doesn't really fill me). I find I eat more candy now than I used to and because there isn't much to eat I eat a ton of what I can eat because I don't want it to go to waste. (whoa... run-on) Everyone said I would loose weight when I was told I had to cut gluten. Now it seems I eat more crap because I don't feel full. I can tell you I am sick of salad and corn/rice based products. GIMME THE WHEAT! (or something close to it!)
