Our Last Sunday Dinner of 2012

Today we had dinner with my parents at the Feast Buffet. I realized how much the food there would NOT be like our meals at home. We had the good company, but it felt like our last meal. At least for me. Manisha was not there, she could not have eaten there anyway, but she would agree that the food would not have been on our list. Why is almost everything full of gluten? The soup, diced potatoes, chinese chicken. It really hit home about how far our diets have fallen from nature. When we get back home tomorrow I am eager to go shopping for food. I am looking forward ro 2013!!

The Beginning of a Journey

Our family has experienced many wonderful things and faced many challenges. One such challenge has been food allergies, primarily gluten.  As we have learned to eat gluten free there have been many lessons learned. The obvious lessons like ways to save money and cooking for large groups happen often, but some other things have become apparent over time. We know a lot more about what we eat, we enjoy family meals together, and the art of cooking is fun to share with others. This year we have made a plan to not only make food for ourselves but open our home to family and friends each week while finding ways to accommodate everyone's food restrictions and still eat the diverse types of food we love.  Come on this journey with us!
