Home Made Ice Cream sandwiches

Home Made Ice Cream sandwiches

This was totally fun to do. I used the Betty Crocker gluten free cookie mix and raspberry sherbet. Mmmmm Good. These are easy to put together. Follow the instructions on the cookie mix. These cookies take a bit of elbow power. The dough is thick and hard to mix at first and is pretty dry. Bake the cookies at 325 degrees. If you have non stick cookie sheets I'd say you should still spray them with non stick spray. I didn't and they stuck a bit. Allow the cookies to cool. Take the sherbet out of the freezer and let soften so you can spread it on the cookies. When softened spread sherbet on one cookie and top with another cookie. Put them back in the freezer for 30 - 45 minutes so they can set. Serve and ENJOY!

Chicken Salad

This is totally something easy you can put together yourself. I happened to buy mine at Juan Pollo http://www.juanpollo.com/ (turn your speakers OFF when going to this site. It's annoying as heck lol). It is a simple chicken salad. This was lunch and dinner for me today.

1/2 head of ice burg lettuce
1 cup of cooked white meat chicken
1 cup of shredded cheese
1 sliced tomato
For the record MOST blue cheese dressings are NOT gluten free. I ordered this with blue cheese and found it contained wheat so I just put regular salsa on it. It's healthier that way anyway. Enjoy!

Home Made Chicken Soup

It's so hard to find a good gluten free chicken soup so I made my own. It came out quite nice.

1 box/carton of gluten free chicken broth (store brand)
1 cup of gluten free pasta shells
1/2 bags of frozen peas and carrots
1 cup of crock pot cooked Chicken breasts
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

I didn't make the soup in the crock pot like I normally do. I combined the chicken broth,peas,carrots, and chicken breasts in a pan on medium heat covered for 20 minutes. Then I added the pasta shells and let it cook for 10 more minutes. Serve and Eat. Enjoy! Sorry I tossed the box of chicken broth so I didn't get a picture of it.

A nice Breakfast

Today started off kind of late. I worked at my normal job until 4am and had to be up at 11:00am to get ready for my infant care giving job @ noon. So I fixed a nice healthy fast gluten free breakfast. I went with a home made egg white omelet.

3 eggs whites
1 Slice of thinly sliced turkey
2 table spoons of shredded cheese
2 table spoons of gluten free salsa
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)



Ok so I need to work on my "plating" lmao I'm still learning. It really was good. This is only half of it. I split it with the 13 month old I babysit minus the salsa of course. Make sure you read you backs of ALL your packages. Not all lunch meats are gluten free. I try to buy store brand to save money. All the items used in this meal were store brand.

Gluten Free YAY ME!

I haven't felt "good" in years. Seems like I overall just never feel good. I always have yucky tummy problems, headaches,fertility issues,moodiness, numbness in my legs and a host of other things. FINALLY we may have figured out wtf is wrong with me. I'm allergic to gluten. YAY!!! for figuring it out, right? WRONG! Not in my family. In my family I pretty much come last as it is. I don't really mind anymore. It's called life. My family is now pissed off because
when going out to eat with them I can't eat the same things I used to. So that upsets them because it's just me being "difficult" or something. My mother actually LAUGHED at me when I told her and informed me I was stupid and just going through the "change of life". Which is horrible for someone who is trying to have a baby to hear. Does she care? Nope. Never has and never will. So here I sit in my office fishing shrimp out of the pasta dish my mother sent over. I was off gluten for a few days then by my own stupidity I had a crustini which of course has bread on the bottom. I did one of those "a little bit wont hurt". I got sicker than I had been in a long time. I went online and realized that eating gluten after having been off it for awhile can make you really sick. Lesson learned. A little bit can hurt. My aunt got mad at me because I got sick and said I wont be traveling with her anymore. I'm still new at this G-free thing. Give me a break. So pretty much my family is unhappy that I have to be G-Free. I have been totally off gluten for a month now now and wow I feel great. This will be a work in progress for awhile and it seems it will be a work I have to do alone since my family is as supportive as a training bra on my 34DDDs. lol I am just so happy we may have found out what's been making me so sick. I honestly was afraid that I was dying and that I'd never know why. I told my mom I was afraid I was dying and she told me that we are all dying everyday we live. Which is true but it's just scary when you think you're doing it faster than everyone else.
