Trying for that perfection..

 Hi everyone. I know that a week ago I promised you a delicious bread recipe. Well Im still trying to find that perfect recipe, and loaf. Its been a very busy week here with having a new vanity installed in our bath along with laying a new floor and so my attention has been a little helter skelter to say the least. 

I promise to try and get back in the kitchen next week when things settle down to continue on my bread baking journey. Being off GF for over three years now and getting back on track is really like starting over. Im finding it alot harder then the first time around because now I also have to maintain a kidney friendly diet as well. Its like suddenly being in a foreign country and not speaking their language! There are many recipes on the site that I hope will keep you busy until then.

So till next post, Happy GF eating!

Getting Restarted:

 Hi everyone. Its been along time since I have posted for several reasons, years in fact. Four years ago I decided to quit eating gluten free for a number of  reasons. Since then I have lost weight, gained weight, had my gallbladder removed, found out I have had kidney disease for many years of which my Dr neglected to inform me, had panic attacks, and have now gained weight in my belly area. Its been a roller coaster ride to say the least and I am sick n tired of being sick n tired!

So its a new beginning. I will be restarting a GF diet to see if this once again will alliviate most, or all of my symptoms. I was diagnosed in my thirties as having a wheat allergy. I guess this may not mean that I have Celiac disease, but may be enough to give eating gluten free another try. So today is the first day of starting my new journey. 

I am digging out all my former GF recipe books, retrying some of my favorite recipes from the past on my blog, and moving forward trying some new ones to share with you all. Since its been awhile I am basically starting from scratch. If any of you have any recipes you would like to share on the blog just let me know. After all, we are in this togethor.

Since I now know I also have kidney disease most of the recipes will hopefully be low sodium, low potassium, and low phosphorus, a feat in its own. Juggling both types of eating is going to be a task but hopefully one I can master with perserverance. I hope you will stop by often and rejoin me on my journey.

I will be working on a bread maker bread today and tomorrow that I will be hopefully sharing with you by the end of the week. Until then, have a blessed day!

Buckwheat - Gluten Free -- Grass Free

 Buckwheat, which is actually not in the wheat family at all, has somehow gotten a bad rap over the years. I personally have avoided it basi...
