Success, Finally!

Wee I am now (or will be on the 1st of April..no joke!) an employed person. Got the kindergarten teacher position at the local Country Day School (gifted school).   I go in on Tuesday to sign the papers. I have to do a set of quick training they require the following week before I start too.   It has GREAT benefits... wow... But I will not be making 6 figures there... ah well. I will stash capital away and re-open my own private school NEXT year. Very exciting but it takes a LOT of plann

Looking Up!

Finally, things are looking up. For whatever reason, I am now inundated with calls for interviews. Phew.. Just stopped writing this for 30 minutes because, yet another potential placement has called. BANG BAM BOOM! Here we go !!!   The SO is leaving in 2 weeks to spend spring break with his family in Germany. I really hope I am working by then because I will miss him too much and will need a daily distraction! Plus money... money is a good thing. I have been dipping into the savings these past

Been Glutened, And Jobless Too Long!

I am just going to whine whine whine...   There are not enough sad faces to print here!   On Saturday, I went to a birthday party. It was my Boyfriends classmates son's 3rd bDay party. Anyway, we got there a little early and the mom was not yet ready and kind of losing it. She had never decorated a cake before and did not really know how to do it.. So.. I kind of just took over.   It looked just like this... exactly like this.. in fact.. this is from pintrest and I wonder if it is her acco

Then And Now

I was diagnosed with Celiac July 2014, so very sick for about 6 months prior to that, vomiting, fatigue, you name it. So once I was diagnosed it was time for a change. GLUTEN FREE! Well that couldn't be to hard right? Well that's what I thought but not so easy. I still struggle with it some days it's so easy other days hard as ever. We have pot lucks and well for a person with Celiac this is not a pleasant occasion, but you get together with friends and some will just make only the food you can

3 Weeks And Still Trying For 100% Gluten-Free

I never really knew what was wrong with me, but I always knew I didn't like a lot of foods. Some I didn't like because I had strange reactions to them. I have not been diagnosed but the change in my diet is amazing. I just changed my vitamins and wow, its like they work. My aches and pains have improved. my energy level is back to normal. Im trying very hard to learn every food that gluten is hidden in or even cross contaminated. I have been glutenwed twice since I went gluten free. I have been

Gluten Free Battle Is Up Hill, But I Can See The Sky From Here

Obviously I'm not good at titling my blogs, lol, but the latest events of the Gluten Free struggle is what I'm posting here.   I've forgotten about my thyroid. Conveniently I'm sure, when I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma, I put off dealing with the nodules on my thyroid for years. It's been 9 years. I think I was hoping getting gluten free would cure them. But they have been super active, being I am easily swayed into stressing out over things and consuming sugar to supplement the ne

What Could Be Causing My Health Issues?

I have had irregular movements since As long as I can remember. Stressful situations caused loose stool and any other time they would be stuck. I did not realize how screwed up they were until I went gluten free when I was 17. I went gluten free for 3 months and it was the most regular I had ever been. Fast forward to this year I just turned 20. I had bloody bowel movements from july till December with no associated pain. I decided to go gluten free again. They stop being bloody within one wee

Gluten/grain Free Tortillas

Gluten/Grain Free Tortillas from: Open Original Shared Link   I've made these a few times. Easy , quick, and delicious. You really do want to get them as thin as you can, though. Use a LARGE frying pan or griddle. The recipe calls for a small 8" on but I find it easier with a larger one so I can control size better. I will be making a casserole dish full of my own recipe "Mommy's Enchiladas Verde". Yep, to die for. *nods vigorously* You will need 12 of them so I have quadrupled th

Campbell's Tomato Soup Copycat I adapted this recipe from produceonparade.com   The first time I tried this recipe was last night. I WAS FLOORED! It is such a good copy cat.. MY GOODNESS! I am still smiling. I used it to make a stuffed pepper stoup. But all of those things you can make with the canned stuff you can now make with this! Stuffed Cabbages baked in the pan for potlucks, family reunions etc.. or thrown in the crock pot! OH JOY!!! I do use a specific brand of tomatoes in

I'm An Idiot

I just wanted to vent. I have been gluten-free for about 3 years. I have tried gluten challenges but never make it past 2 weeks. So I figured I would try enterolab, since supposedly it is more sensitive. I ate gluten for the last 2 weeks of 2014, sent in my sample. Came back positive. So I have been more careful than before- just washing hands more and making my daughter wash more as well. Plus I am still having bladder pain from those 2 weeks, but it has been improving. So last night I

Salted Caramel Fudge

Salted Caramel Fudge I was shopping and looking for caramel that was grain free. I found ZERO corn syrup free offerings so I bought some heavy cream and went home to make my own. If you need to be dairy free, You can actually use coconut cream from the can and vegan margarine. Apparently it works wonderfully. I cannot vouch as I've never tried it but EVERYONE should make home made caramel OH DEAR YUM!   So you will need to make your caramel first. It only takes 15 minutes! I left

Eggs In Purgatory 2 Ways

Eggs in Purgatory 2 Ways   Tonight we are indulging in some simple but fresh and delicious Italian fare. There are not a lot of ingredients so be sure to use the BEST ingredients. If you go for the 1st way, as I have this evening, be sure to find the darkest red tomatoes you can find. Actually use fresh basil and grate your own parmeggiano (or pecorino), If you make it the second way, be sure you use San Marzano tomatoes. You CAN taste the difference and it is all worth it. Both ways are s

Brynja's Artichoke & Sausage Baked Ziti This one is not grain free. I used Tinkyada pasta. It is ONLY made from rice and it has GREAT texture. It is the only grain I have found that my body will agree to. If you are unable to have any grains, you can modify this with some carrot noodles spiralzed! I've done it that way too.

      Yes, I have one of the older models and have tested many products with it. For me it seems like a valuable tool and I have used it to test foods that I eat regularly, which are naturally gluten-free, for example salsa, refried beans, etc.

      Has anyone tried the NIMA gluten detector?  I'm seriously thinking of investing in one. I haven't eaten out at a restaurant since my late diagnosis 4 years ago (I'm 55 in March)  Any information would be greatly appreciated
