A little late to be wishing you all a Happy Easter? Well, I for one am still celebrating the great Zombie Jesus Day (as my friend, Jem, so aptly puts it).
Picture
I took on a daunting challenge for lent this year: gluten. You'd be surprised by the number of goodies that have gluten in them... bread, oatmeal, twix, cake, TJ veggie sticks, beer, pizza, soy sauce... At first I went through withdrawal, feeling shaky and downright hungry at all times of the day. But once I got used to it, I felt truly fantastic. I was even tempted to stay off gluten post Easter... but let's face it, who would I be without my cookie fetish? Although I will be cutting back dramatically, I can't say no to chicken pot pie and these jelly drop cookies I tend to make on the daily.

All in all, it's nice to be back.

See! I told you it was pretty good! I cheat every now and then, too... but overall I feel a million times better without gluten! :)

Try going grain free all together....heartbreaking for my sweet tooth, but amazing for my health and energy levels. Just lean meat, veggies, fruit, and nuts.
