Until Then We'll Have to Muddle Through Some How...

I have been on hiatus for a while as I learned to deal with the effects of Celiac disease on my family.  The Little Ones were diagnosed, and it has been quite an education learning how to substitute, make due, create, re-create...

Tonight, I will be trying to perfect my gluten free brownies.  Before Celiac, I had the perfect recipe.  Now, well, I am getting closer...  There is nothing that will get me off my butt and into the kitchen like the tears of an eight year old who is longing for some home-baked loved.  Food is seriously one of the ways I grew up showing love, so when a child of mine cries for a now-forbidden food, it feels like I am depriving her of love.

Soon, I will be collaberating with a dear friend on a cookbook that boasts amazing gluten free recipes and that celebrates seasonal eating.  We will also be collaborating on a joint blog that tracks our progress.  You can share in each truimph and laugh with us as we muddle through it all!

We will also share recipes on the new blog, so if you want us to post a gluten-free recipe, or recipe that just happen to be gluten-free, just let us know what you are interested in.  Since we are working with seasonal food, we will get to recipes in seasonal order.
