Going gluten free can seem incredibly intimidating at first. People wonder what in the world can you eat? Many automatically assume that everything gluten free will taste bad, even if they have never tried a gluten free product in their lives. Others will offer vegetarian pasta dishes to avoid the gluten thing. Um, we eat meat, just not wheat (or rye or barley). Still others will have wonderful intentions, but don't understand cross contamination. At some point, you will likely need to make your own food, so the question comes in, what do others who eat gluten free tend to eat? Here's a one week sampling of what we eat in my house. I am a mom of one. I have confirmed celiac disease and in 2009, my ex-husband and I took our daughter's definite gluten intolerance and my confirmed celiac diagnosis as enough proof to assume she likely had celiac.
For me, most breakfasts and lunches during my reset days are Isagenix whey protein shakes, unless otherwise noted. My daughter has protein shakes for breakfast, but lunches can vary. I am currently co-leading a group 30 day getting started & reset with nutrition, so we will be doing cellular cleanse resets on Monday & Tuesday. If you want more information about the program I use and love, I would be happy to help you. You can fill out the information form here and I will get in touch with you shortly.

I have many of these recipes on my Pinterest board and as I am reviewing this post, I realize that due to the major modifications I have implemented with my favorite recipes, I apparently need to update these modifications in subsequent blog posts. I do not count or calculate calories, fat grams, etc. when I modify recipes. Serving sizes can vary and I don't want to misrepresent nutrition information to you. My dinners are usually with an emphasis on grain free and sugar free as I pack on the pounds if I have filler carbs later in the day.
