So I believe I have just about mastered not having to cook a gluten free meal and then a regular meal separately. We cook separate pastas for me and Scott because, well, he eats like a horse and gluten free food costs approx $2.50 more per bag of pasta than his 89 cent boxes of stop and shop brand pasta.

Speaking of our budget....we are watching HGTV house hunters international and these people have a 1.5million dollar budget for their vacation home in St. John...ahhh the good life. I'm just hoping to have 2 sets of cookware in the new house so I don't have to scrub and sanitize before boiling water for hot coco.

Back to dinner - so nice and simple cooked pastas and now that I can tolerate cheese again!!! Added some yummy gluten free shredded cheese and we cooked these veggie balls in the toaster oven. GREAT FIND. These veggie balls are surprisingly a lot more tasty than one might expect, given their name. So we cook them diagnoally on the stove top to decr risk of contamination. He uses one style of dishes/silverware and I use another. This way it's easier to make sure you grab the right stirring utensils should an unfortunate over boil occur (just about every other time I make pasta on our less than ideal stove top). So satisfactorily stuffed and pretty easy to complete. Oh and of course the mandatory glass of white wine. Only one since I am working a hockey practice from 8-9pm tonight.

We were going to make this great little marinated chicken recipe I found in the cookbook he got me for Christmas but the fine print was it needs to marinate for at least 4hrs. Well everything will be prepped for an easy cook tomorrow I suppose! You live and you learn.

That's about it for now. I'll let you know how the marinated chicken goes - this will be a first time and I've never added yogurt to chicken before....
