Gluten-free Foodie
I must admit, I've always loved food. Eating food is and has been one of my favorite pastimes. Now, cooking the food, not so much. Which is why the running joke is "That's why I married a chef!" I have always been a better baker than a cook. I make a mean spaghetti and meatballs and I've gotten quite good at making quiche; but still, my abilities as a honest-to-goodness cook are lacking. No wheat, oats, barley, gluten or rye! To make matters more interesting, I am gluten-intolerant. I was born this way, as was my brother. It wasn't until after my brother was born and had a more severe reaction that my mother realized I had the same intolerance. For quite some time in my adolescence I was able to tolerate some gluten and didn't follow a gluten-free diet at all. Needless to say, I probably should have. After my son was born I had the hardest time with my gut. I had to call in sick to work because I was in so much pain...
