Hubby and the kids ordered pizza tonight, so I made my own quick pizzas with some organic pizza sauce, Udi's bread, black olives, and Daiya cheese. They were pretty good!

Our first kitty that we got, we adopted as a stray last year. He just stopped by our house....and never left! We checked around and after being unable to locate his owner (placed ads, checked for microchip, etc.) decided to keep him. He is a fantastic cat, very loving and good with the kids. He's been microchipped and rabies vaccinated now (plan on doing...

I try to hide my toothbrush so that my gluten eating children and husband won't accidentally use it.

I use a brand that is labelled gluten free. It's Xyliwhite by NOW. http://www.nowfoods.com/Xyliwhite-Refreshmint-Toothpaste-Gel-6-4-oz.htm

I find that I can turn out a loaf more quickly when I do it by hand. The bread maker's cycle takes a lot longer than me.

I bought a bread machine and it really hardly ever gets used. So in my opinion, it's not very necessary.

It is my understand that nothing packaged on site at Whole Foods is guaranteed to be free from gluten CC. Whole Foods has a sign on their salad bar stating that they are regrettably unable to offer any completely gluten free options.

Vegetarian "meatloaf" cupcakes and mashed potatoes.

I know that there's quite a few of us here.

Sounds good kareng! Do you have a recipe for the millet rolls?

Salad and baked pasta. My pasta bake was a mix of different kinds. I made it with soybean pasta, chickpea rotini, and corn lasagna cuts.

Yes, it's tough with kids. My 2 year old is always trying to grab at my face and mouth and also we're a fairly affectionate family, so there was the issue of kissing sweet little gluteny faces. LOL! So glad to be done with my daughter's gluten challenge!

I totally understand not wanting gluten in the house! It's such a relief to be going back to a gluten free house after my kid's gluten challenge was done. I got glutened multiple times and my stress level skyrocketed. My kids just don't understand the concept of not touching my gluten free food after they've touched gluten.

Here's a blog post for a homemade gluten free instant noodle soup. It uses miso. http://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/gluten-free-instant-noodle-cups/ Our lunch menu today was steamed brussel sprouts, white basmati rice, and vegan crab cakes. For dessert, the kids had fruit and cottage cheese and I had fruit and soy yogurt.

I'm on a bagel kick, so I've tried making a couple of batches of bagels, as well as buying some Udi's for comparison sake. My family likes the homemade better. I just got a new rice cooker that has more features than my old one, so I'm enjoying playing with that.
