Gluten free YUCK

Yuck is how I describe the cookies I made last night. Ew, pleck, gross, blewie.

In the first week after finding out I had Celiac disease, I was on a hunt for good chocolate chip cookies. I can't live without chocolate chip cookies, so if there weren't any good ones out there, I was just going to have to give up on living. ;)

I found some really good ones in a brand called Nameste. You mixed them with oil and an egg. But I haven't been able to find them since.
So I thought I would try a different brand of the cookie mix. Bob's Red Mill has a LOT of gluten free products out there. The mix looked ok, so what the heck, let's try it.

NEVER again! My girls always want the beaters when I make cookies. So I gave the beaters to them and within about 10 seconds, they started literally gagging and running for the trash can. The dough tastes like metal. Really- it has a weird metallic taste to it. The cookies aren't nearly as bad. But there is still a strange aftertaste to it.

So why in the world have I eaten 6 cookies since I made them? I have nothing else to eat! I made a few more after lunch today, just hoping that they would taste better today- NOPE. Worse actually.

But on a high note, I made pasta last night with vegetable spiral noodles. I cooked up some ground turkey and put spaghetti sauce all over. They were awesome!! Made with brown rice- Russ said he would not have known the difference if I hadn't have told him.

So trial and error it is. But it is an adventure, that's for sure!
