Sorry to those who read this blog as a resource for adoption. My posts have been wandering off to new areas of my life, sorry about that :) But, I've gotten a lot of questions about going dairy and gluten free. Mostly, what on earth does one eat?
I hated cooking before. Now I consider it a hobby! I am sooo excited to get in the kitchen each evening and create that night's dish. The reason being is that the results are just fabulous! And healthy too! Who would have thought that was possible?
Besides referring to my local health food store for basic stuff, there are three main resources I use in planning my weekly menu. Here they are:
Gary Null's Power Foods (cookbook)
Vegan Planet Cookbook
Karina's Kitchen (blog)
The blog is especially helpful for those new to the GF journey. She has some great posts about how to substitute flour, sugar and dairy. Her recipes are so delicious and her writing style is personable and fun.
Ok, enough on that. You want adoption news? Well, gosh darnit, guess what? Riley is on Christmas break and the kids are at each others throats most of the time again. I am realizing that they have no clue how to play together. Sunder takes stuff from Riley which makes her mad, then Sunder yells and scratches to defend herself, then Riley responds by picking on Sunder. So my new thing is to sit down with both of them in a neutral place and guide them on how to play together. We'll see if it helps otherwise summer break is gonna be a real drag!!!

Torrie, I am feeling for you with Riley being home and the fighting. My kids are on year round school and it just so happens that not only are they off of school for Christmas break for 2 weeks, but then they are off track for 3 more weeks, so they don't go back to school until 27 January!!!! WE are one week into it and I am already feeling panicky about how to handle them.
Thanks for the book & blog recommendations, Torrie! I can't wait to read these.
