Cookies

Okay so I promised I would put up some stuff on here about how I'm doing with my gluten free and such diet. Some days are better than others (I feel like I've said that a thousand times, but it's true.) I have a hard time when I go to work because I don't have very many options and I HATE, HATE, HATE left overs so that too is limiting. However it has been a fun learning experience.

Last month when I went home to visit my fabulous family my mom bought me this flour that was organic and not regular flour. Rice flour to be exact. She also bought me some pancake mix and some other all purpose gluten free flour which has different flours from things beans, rice, basically everything but wheat. The pancakes were heavy. Not the normal light and fluffy, I could eat 17 of these things, kind. They weren't to terribly bad....

From there I came home to my lovely apartment and I went to the store and found this...

Which made these....

They were actually better than the pancakes! The cookie dough however was GROSSSSS!!! I told myself that if the cookies were that bad I would throw them out. Luckily they tasted really good. I even brought them to work the next day and people were shocked at how good they were. They were soft and just perfect.


Although these are gluten free they are not sugar free so I only ate 2, okay 3 and that's why my work peeps got the rest.


The major purpose of doing this crazy diet is to help reduce the pain. I will have pain for the rest of my life and I'm still working on coming to terms with that, but hopefully doing the diet will reduce the pain enough that I will not have to go on these horrible meds that make me go through menopause.


Yes people I still have bad days. Doing all these things isn't going to work 100% of the times, but if it works 80% I can work on coping the other 20% of the time!
