Changes...

Well, we just found out that Shane is allergic to gluten.
The day we figured it out, we started by clearing out all of the pantry items that contained gluten. We researched and researched and gave away and gave away. Who knew that Balsamic vinegar and soy sauce contained gluten? or some nori? or Japanese mayo? or Bailey's?

So, needless to say, the blog that started out without a purpose now has a purpose: Making gluten free food that is delicious!

 I asked Shane the question, "What will you miss the most?" The answers he gave have proppeled us into experimention mode. We have to perfect gluten free (gf) pizza crust, gf bread and gf homemade pastas! Another question we had was: What gluten free things still taste like 'normal' and what doesn't? We decided that to find those answers we needed some Whole Foods retail therapy. We began shopping! As it turns out, our first three 'test items' were really good! I am not just saying that, by the way. If you did not tell me these things were gluten free I would have not guessed. Here is what we tried: Corn Pasta, Foccaccia Bread, and Brownie Mix.

So here are the changes to expect:
We will be revising all of the recipes to make them gluten free to avoid any future mix ups.
We are going to experiment like crazy and post all the things that taste great (and none of the ones that don't.)
