Your eyes don't deceive you, there is no Week Two. I was sick as a dog, so we will just pretend that week never happened. Week one's challenges are ever pervasive - in my efforts of gluten-free eating, I have had some good finds and some not so good. I found really good battered fish at Whole Foods, for example, but possibly the worst macaroni and cheese ever. I also found Betty Crocker gluten-free devil's food cake mix which I will be making for my one-year wedding anniversary next week. Yes, he has put up with me for a year, believe it or not, but that's a different entry.
I did pretty well avoiding beef and dairy, but there are just some things you have to have a pat of butter with. I tried an almond milk chocolate pudding that would have worked if I hadn't messed up adding the last two ingredients, so I will try it again and if it works, I will post the recipe. It tasted delicious but didn't set; however, it made a great breakfast drink with some banana and peanut butter.
This week's goal will be to tackle my pop addiction. If I don't watch it, I think nothing of drinking four Dr. Peppers a day, and that's really bad. The sugar, caffeine, food color and additives are terrible for you. I have decided to allow myself one pop on school nights (Mondays and Wednesdays) and one on Fridays since I have lunch with friends on Fridays. We'll see how it goes. I'm jonesing pretty bad right now, but am drinking water instead. Wish me luck. I am feeling better already.
Note: I just had Amy's Rice Mac & Cheese for lunch and it was delicious! Not dairy free, but after last night's debacle, I don't care!

You go girl! I'm so glad you are feeling better now (I"m seeing this post in April). I'm not only proud of you for making changes, but glad that you will be healthy and happy for a long time to come!
