Reading Chinese

Going to the health food store on Saturday was hard. I cried when we got back to the car. While standing in the isles looking at the gluten free foods, trying to guess which foods were good and which ones suck was really hard. I felt like I was standing in front of food with Chinese labels. I had NO idea what I was looking at.

I have been reading everything I can since I found out about this. I think I probably spent 4 hours on the computer yesterday. (don't tell my husband) I am the type of person that has to know EVERYTHING I can. And... I want to know it NOW. I hate feeling in the dark.

I met Pam at the health food store today. She helped me sooo much. Russ is going to be mad that I didn't bring my notepad and pen like I should have. But hopefully I'll remember many of the good things Pam told me. There are many different brands for the same things. Just like in regular food. But in the gluten free world, some of these foods are really not very good. Todd and Pam have done a lot of experimenting with the different brands over the years, so now they know the good ones. So thank goodness I don't have to do this! I can just go right to the good stuff. :) Thanks Pam!

Last night I had penne pasta with spaghetti sauce and hamburger. It was great. Even Russ and the girls said it was good. So now on my cooking list we have pizza, penne pasta, and cookies. :) Oh, and Pam's yummy recipe that she put on her blog: http://gfhousewife.blogspot.com So I'm building my GF cook book one recipe at a time!
