the first supper

We took a trip to Cambridge to a super fantastic store called El Peto today. It's a 100% gluten free bakery that does all sorts of great stuff. It was kind of crampy especially with 3 kids (1 in stroller) but the guy (Jesse) was amazing about it. I hate going into small places like that because well, kids are destructive, loud messy little beings that get worse in smaller spaces :) Within a few minutes Jesse had the kids eating GF cookies and goodies. He showed me all of the stuff they had, told me what it was useful for and what gluten filled item it replaced. I was so lost when I walked in and he was just amazingly helpful, I walked out with a few things to try and some free samples. I'd give this place a 2 thumbs up by far.

So I don't know if it's in my head or not, but today is Boo's first mostly gluten free day and she had a fabulous day. I didn't have the heart to say no to timbits this moring, I will have the strength just not yet. Today she had 2 oranges and timbits to start the day. For lunch she had GF pasta (still haven't hit that kraft dinner taste quite yet) and I made a loaf of GF french bread. She really liked that, they compared the flavour to a cross between "normal" bread and tea biscuits, and if I have to be honest... it was actually pretty darn good :) and now I am in the process of making supper which consists of rice, pork chops baked in GF cream of mushroom soup, broccoli and more of that yummy bread. I will report on the success of dinner but by the smell of the soup it will be scrumptious.

Overall I would have to say that Boo has had an absolutely wonderful day. I don't know if it's because she slept in, or because she's had very little gluten today but having a little girl that walked around singing, dancing and giggling while she played with her sister was heavenly. And if this is what I have to look forward to then I'll take it.
