Change always takes some getting used to

I have been diagnosed with celiac disease. This means that I can't eat anything with Barley, Rye, Oats, or Wheat. Flax, Corn, and Rice are still OK. I thought initially that it was going to be really easy to do this. Afterall, I don't eat bread or bagels or any of that stuff anyway. Yeah, not so much. Unfortunately Gluten is hidden in EVERYTHNG. It hasn't been easy, but I am learning. Change always takes time and always takes getting used to. The one good thing that has come out of all of this is that my culinary skills are improving. They have to. For example, I made homemade soup for the first time today - Broccoli cheddar. Some of you may think that this is no big deal, but I have never done that before. If I can make one, I am sure I can make more. Maybe some day I will write a cookbook for all of my yummy gluten-free recipes. Who knows? In the mean time, I am learning.....
