With having to be creative with my cooking (hence the name), I thought I would start this blog to share with you recipes that I have adapted to become gluten-free. (Like I needed another excuse to cook). For the most part you’ll find “adapted” recipes on here with a few that I’ve actually come up with. I think a huge part of this new lifestyle is being able to adapt to the changes and not give up your favorite gluten filled recipes, so why not start with taking those recipes that I loved and creatively making them gluten-free.
Not only have I had to change my diet but Bryan has also had to change his diet also. Thankfully he is a really good sport about it and trying all my different creations. I told him that I wont be making two meals each night, and he said okay. Don’t get me wrong, we’ll be having some gluten containing items in our house for him, it’s not like he can never have it again, but I just won’t be making any of it. He is extremely careful (sometimes even more than myself) about cross contamination.
I am not the only one with food allergies either, Bryan has a few also. His include an Onion allergy, Oral Allergy Syndrome and is Lactose Intolerant. So in addition to gluten-free recipes you will also find that many of them are also onion free and instead of using milk, we use soy milk or rice milk (except for a few recipes like whipped cream). Here is a little guide to some of the food allergy acronyms you will find on the site : GF = Gluten Free, OF = Onion Free, DF = Dairy Free, NF = Nut Free, SF = Soy Free, EF = Egg Free
I’ve been experimenting with different recipes, flours etc and have had some very interesting out comes…those of which have not made it to the this blog but instead the trash. Its been fun and that’s all that matters to me.
Keep checking back for new recipes and resources for gluten-free living.
