Are you anything like I was, addicted to starchy foods most of my adult life?
I could make an entire box of Wheat Thins disappear faster than David Copperfield.
Bars lost money when I dove into their pretzel bowls.
My kids knew if they asked me to babysit they would have to replenish their stock of Saltines, Triscuits, Cheese Ritz and Goldfish crackers the following day. I had to say goodbye to those forever. But hope and snacks spring eternal. A door closes, an oven opens!
By gosh I still nosh, but it's different snacks for us "Silly Yaks" ( a.k.a. celiacs).
Good Eats, Safe Treats
