Greetings, everyone!! Welcome to my blog! I hope you will find it entertaining and informative. My goal here is to provide and exchange recipes that are a gluten-free alternative as well as just plain good recipes that I've either tried or created myself.

A few years ago I was diagnosed as "gluten-wheat intolerant". So essentially this means that I can eat a small portion of wheat/gluten but I walk a fine line trying to figure out exactly how much is too much.

At first, I was crushed and immediately raced home and ate a big bowl of cereal that was, of course, full of wheat! It has taken me five years to get some kind of control. I'm still not there yet. I'm still trying to find the line between just enough and too much. The trouble is I don't know I've eaten too much wheat/gluten until my body starts showing symptoms. If any of you are in a similar situation then you know what I'm talking about.

So perhaps you'll join me in my quest for finding a way to enjoy wheat/gluten moderately and symptom free!

Since I'm an American living in Ireland you'll also see posts and information about shopping the states, finding a few bargains both here and there, and links to sites which might be helpful.

So bear with me while I get this started!!
