Gluten Free Dairy Free

I am considering starting a separate recipe area for gluten free dairy free recipes. Since starting this eating change, I feel TONS better. Yes, I am still trying to avoid other foods like soy, yeast, eggs, sugar, peanuts, caffeine, alcohol, tomatoes, corn, eggplant, and peppers. However, sometimes those are inevitable and I don't think my body has a horrible reaction to them. Mostly, I think dairy (possibly a couple others) is my main culprit! Finding out what are the culprits are one of the biggest successes. Once it is figured out, then dealing with it is somewhat easy.

Because my recipes are based upon these specifications, I am thinking about making a section of my blog dedicated to gluten free, dairy free recipes. There are blogs (some of them are listed to the right) that have helped inspire me when I don't know what else to cook. It really isn't that hard once you are committed to the new way of eating. However, it is hard sometimes to think of what concoctions I CAN make. Or, sometimes it is just frustrating knowing what substitutions are possible.

One recipe that is gluten free, dairy free that I will post is Peanut Butter Cookies. They do have an egg and some sugar in them. HOWEVER, no milk, butter, flour!!! They are delicious. Thanks to my mom who tried them, we have a new, easy, yummy cookie that staves off any craving!
