My first blog post EVER!!

I am so excited to being typing my first blog post ever, that I am almost shaking!! My hope for this blog is to help others that may be struggling to find good gluten free recipes. Having been diagnosed with Celiacs disease a little over a year ago, I understand the struggle that comes with a gluten free lifestyle. When I first started going gluten free, I was horribly sick. While I wanted to get better, the lure of all the foods I was used to got the better of me. I wanted my Pizza Hut and Olive Garden, and couldnt imagine giving up all the food I loved so much. It wasnt til a binge session at a local Long John Silvers that I vowed never to eat gluten again. Breaded seafood and Celiacs does NOT agree, and I know that from experience!! Since that session, I have made my best effort to adhere stictly to my gluten free diet. Besides the occasional mishap at a fast food restaurant (not my fault, I promise!) I have not intentionally poisoned myself. And now I finally feel confident enough in myself to share some of my gluten free recipes for others to enjoy!!

This blog will be for all types of gluten free cooking. There will be baked goods, dinners, and all kinds of yummy food. I have done my best to try to imitate some foods from restaurants that I used to think I could never have again, but don't hate me if they arent exactly the same as the original :P My goal is to have so many recipes in the end, that I no longer feel like Im missing out on anything.

I hope that you will try my recipes and leave me some feedback. You can never get better at something unless you know what you are doing wrong, so please, if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know. I am all about constructive criticism. And if you have any questions or recipes youd like me to try, feel free to post those as well!!

Lastly, I hope you enjoy my blog and thanks for reading!! Now lets get the party started!! Woo hoo!!
