I am not a glutard, I just crush a lot. here are some of the wonderful gluten free and sugar free things I made in the past month:
ginger & taragon grapefruit marmalade, oatmeal raisin cookies
peanutbutter banana betty
smoked turkey and vegetable soup
apple szarlotka, applesauce, anise tangerine marmalade
buttermilk cornbread & greens (collards, chard, kale, beets, carrots, celery, onions)
not shown:
chicken soup with rice
eggplant cacciatore
sage mashed potatoes
wasabi and alspice pecans
stuffed figs with goatcheese and pecans
thanksgiving i succumbed to homemade pumpkin pie (made with maple syrup). not gonna lie, it was worth it. there are actually so many things that you can eat still living gluten free like potatoes and lentils and rice. Basically, the only staple from my diet that was eliminated was cereal in the morning and I just made oatmeal instead. People looked at me funny because making the decision to live without gluten (or without processed sugar) seems extreme. Why would you give something up just because you can? It's not Lent or Ramadan or some other fasting holy day, so what gives. But really, why do I have to have a reason better than I choose to? "just because" seems perfectly acceptable to me. so there it is, gluten free for November!
