Welcome to gluten freedom

Seasons Greetings....

I am celiac (gluten free...not by choice) non-blogger with a blog... but welcome to "Gluten Freedom," my latest play space/adventure time.  A bunch of my friends falsely inflated my confidence in the kitchen by telling me that the like when I cook, and a few have mentioned that I try writing a blog about what I make. So here goes...

A few things you should know...
1. I WILL MAKE EDITING MISTAKES. OFTEN. I DO NOT CARE. I PROBABLY WON'T PROOFREAD. THIS IS NOT A "SPELLING" BLOG OR A "GRAMMAR POLICE" BLOG.  Food not grammar. Sorry not sorry.
2.  Try to understand a little bit of food chemistry... I usually just youtube things but Alton Brown is the best teacher... he has a really good show called "Good Eats" on the food network... but knowing a little about food chemistry goes a REALLY long way
3. Patience... if at first you don't success... try to make yourself eat whatever you cooked and you will probably never make the same mistake again...
4. RECIPES ARE BORING... I have ADHD and usually can't focus long enough to follow them... so just trust yourself and try not to use them... use ideas and principles of them, but not tablespoon for tablespoon measurements.
5. Think flavors. Think spices.  Add what you like. Ignore what you don't.  It is your tongue, your tastebuds, your decision.  But invest in fun spices and try to think original thoughts about flavoring things. For example- Pumpkin tastes nice with cinnamon.  Cinnamon tastes good with chocolate... blend it all together... bam.. cinnamon pumpkin cookies with chocolate chips.
6. GLUTEN FREE DOES NOT HAVE TO TASTE BAD... so this blog ALSO caters to people we boring small intestines/homies without celiacs disease.


Cheesy... but just have fun.  If you aren't, you are over thinking it.
