It is really hard to get a handle on meals. I worry about them all the time--I just can't decide what to fix. What I am in the mood to cook seems to either be too complicated, or I don't have all the ingredients for it. You can't just pull any old thing out and whip it up fast for gluten free. Right now while I am still learning I have to read the labels of everything, and there seems to always be a surprise with something. I grabbed a nut bar I had around, and just as I was starting to open it, I hunted my glasses down and looked at the ingredient list--yep, it has wheat in it. So it went in a drawer of food to give to grandkids when they are hungry! ha!
I did pull out stuff to make up some new peanut butter balls that I like--I gave my old ones to Carissa. I substituted flax seed meal for the wheat germ and bran that I used to use. It worked out good--so that was one thing I was happy about today.
I think what will help is if I make a menu a few days ahead, and then make sure I have what I need for each recipe. I might do that tomorrow. I wish I had a gluten free cookbook. I keep having to go back to the computer to look things up, and I don't like that, as I keep loosing the websites where I see something I want to make!
We stopped at Jack in the Box while we were out running around today and got a milkshake and hashbrowns--that is all we could eat there! That is where the blues set in.
