Giving In Generally Isn't My Thing

I caved... For years I swore against ever creating a blog. I guess I never really got the blog-stalking thing and avoided them like the plague. Fine that other people had their own, but I just wasn't going to hop on the band wagon because everyone else was.

So why now? I'm certainly more than a little behind the curve here. It all started when I was searching for new Gluten Free recipes and discovered some AMAZING food blogs. Then I started reading my friends' blogs and soon discovered NieNie, who inspires me to be a better person.

I suppose I've realized since I stopped working nearly a year ago I need a venue for self-expression. Somewhere to channel my creativity. And I guess, too, before I just didn't think I had anything to share...at least that anyone else would find interesting.

Then, I found myself being more and more aware of what I feed my family and have found great recipes to share, all of which just happen to be Gluten Free. I found my muse. Life revolves around food. Even more so when you have small children eating on a schedule, and the distinction of being a Glutard to boot. Why not share my story in the context of what's for dinner, especially when my dietary restrictions have had such a huge impact on my life?

I've set some ground rules for myself so this doesn't turn into something I don't like. It won't be a cook book, a journal, or a brag book about my little family - though that may be difficult being that they are so dang cute, and how perfect our life is. And it certainly won't be a long-winded diatribe of the way I think things should be.

It's just me - what I do, what I cook, my joys, and frustrations. So read it and enjoy...or not.
