Surviving the gluten/dairy/egg free lifestyle:)

It's hard when you are cooking for your family who has no allergies!!! By the time I'm done with that I have no desire to make anything for myself and end up either going hungry or cheating!!! Well in the last few weeks I've been cheating and all my symptoms reappeared!!!
I felt like my body was falling apart!!! So of course I went back to taking care of myself. Time or no time I have to do it and so I've been making some yummy things for myself. One trick to ensure I have stuff to eat is to cook simultaneously along with what I'm making for my lovely, hungry family. If I don't do this I just end up not cooking for myself..I mean who wants to cook twice?

I take two mixing bowls and add and mix the ingredients for my gluten free concoction first with clean measuring utensils etc. Then in the second mixing bowl I make the exact same thing but in it's regular form useing the measuring utensils I used for the gluten free food. This way I am not contaminating my gluten free diet.

For example On this picture you see some banana/chocolate chip bread and muffins....if you look carefully you see the gluten/dairy and egg free version cooling int he back...they are a little smaller than the regular ones..see them? Oh I'll tell you they were good!



I also made myself a personal size loaf of "white bread":) It was good with peanut butter!



And some yummy sweet and sour meatballs with pasta! My family ate the same thing in it's regular form...I was happy:)


I will be posting the recipe for the meatballs in a separate post soon!
