Ok, so I'm in love with gluten. I should stop pretending. When my two favorite foods are pizza and boneless battered chicken wings, it's hard to pretend that I'm not. I am a sucker for pizza at all costs. Pizza has been my #1 nemesis in staying committed to my new gluten-free lifestyle. Tonight, after a difficult day, I turned to Scott and said the worst 7-letter word I know: Domino's. I'm pretty peeved because Domino's now has a garlic bread crust.. amazing enough to weaken me in the knees. On bad days, it's almost too much to resist.
But why make a bad day worse? Why sleep through the next 5 days in a hazy fog otherwise known as my "wheat fog"? [Unless you have a gluten sensitivity, you probably have no idea what I'm referring to] I decided to be proactive, and not let Domino's get the better of me. I turned to Google.
On Google I discovered making homemade onion rings is easy as pie. [mmm, pie.. but I digress] All'z you need is an onion, oil, and pancake batter. Apparently pancake batter [ie: King Arthur, Bisquick, Krusteaz] doubles as a great frying batter for any and all items. This was news to me! So I got to fryin' and 10 minutes later I had fantastic gluten-free onion rings. I used King Arthur's top o'the line GF pancake mix and prepared the batter. I sliced up the onions, dipped them in heated oil, and wallah! [Is that how one properly spells "wallah"?..] I doused them in salt and forgot about Domino's for all of ten minutes. But it did the trick. I may have consumed some serious fat, but I totally avoided the gluten nonsense. If I had eaten Domino's pizza, I would have ended up with both.
One day I'd like to be a gluten-free guru. I want my blog to be educating Googlers all around the world! So I'll start with this:
Oh! And also: yesterday I made some fantastic GF banana/chocolate chip muffins to get rid of our old bananas. Thanks to King Arthur's GF all-purpose flour, I'm on a roll! [or a muffin]
Yum yum! They look delicious! Way to appease your craving with a gluten-free option. I am impressed with how far u have comewith your eating habits. U have improved so much. And not to make u feel worse but man, I really do love domino's new pizza. I think it is my favorite out of all the pizza chains. Mmmm. Go u Chrissy!
