Gluten-free ain't easy

We all know what a challenge it can be to maintain a gluten-free lifestyle. You can have all the cookbooks, nutritionists, and fancy groceries in the world- but when a luscious tuna sandwich on whole wheat is staring you in the face, it's a different world. Much of the gluten-free world is focused on proving that our weird food is as good as "the real thing". It usually isn't. However, when you desire something specific, there are gluten free alternatives to falling off the wagon. The recipes in this blog are focused around my own tastes and cravings, as well as pleasing gluten-eaters around me (hopefully, without them realizing something is missing). This means *not* cooking two separate meals for dinner, *not* substituting weird items you'd never eat, and *not* making incredibly intricate gourmet meals just because you've got a new disease.

I am on a constant quest for foods that a) satisfy a particular glutenous urge without harming my health, b) are palatable to my friends and family, and c) taste so much like the real thing that people accuse me of cheating.
