gluten free goodness

i am a gluten free gal by choice. 

crazy? maybe a little. 

but i most certainly believe that it is a healthier lifestyle.

and i totally endorse healthy living.

i am not over the top about what i do or do not put in my body,

and i absolutely will cheat a treat in now and again.

but i do strive to eat on the cleaner and greener side.

i buy the necessary organic groceries.

produce.

dairy.

meat.

i limit my sugar intake.

{read: eliminated my nightly trip to the frozen yogurt shop}

i eat flax and millet like it's going out of style.

and i make juice out of my fave fruits and veg.

apples. carrots. ginger. spinach. kale. cucumber. lemons. squash. berries. 

i have been gluten free for about two months now.

and i must admit, i love the way i feel.

i feel clean.

i crave clean food.

and i know my body is thankful. 

it has been so much easier than i thought it would be. 

instead of trying to replace what i used to eat with gluten free products

{pizza, sandwiches, pasta}

i just avoid foods that typically would contain gluten.

in other words, i do not buy gluten free bread or gluten free pasta.

i just have not found ones that i enjoy eating. 

until today.

i made thomas keller's ad hoc gluten free waffles for dinner.

i was in waffle wonderment.

they were fluffy. buttery. to-die-for-good.

i even made it healthier by using fat free organic milk.

one cage free organic egg.

i skipped topping them with the usual butter & syrup.

instead i spread a tablespoon of  my fave peanut butter.

and drizzled some light agave nectar on top.

wow. wow. wow.

so, for my fellow gluten free gals {and guys}

run, don't walk. over to your nearest williams sonoma.

go get a box or two for you. 

and to make these waffles even more divine,

add a dash of cinnamon.

and a teaspoon of vanilla.

just stir it into the waffle mixture.

and enjoy.

{i have also made the ad hoc gluten free brownies. better than the best. super fudgy}
