Finally taking the plunge!

After much urging from my family, I have finally decided to give blogging a try. I am looking forward to the adventure and to sharing the many things I have learned over the past year since my celiac diagnosis. I certainly could not have made it this far without my supportive and loving family and friends who have endured some whining (sorry! this diet is REALLY overwhelming at first!) and lots of experimental food over the past year. Thanks for your patience and for allowing me to work my way through the learning curve that comes along with the GF diet. I have not arrived, but I have had enough baking success that I want to share it with others.

The thing that really has prompted me to dive into blogging is my husband's recent diagnosis with eosinophilic esophagitis (don't ask me to pronounce it!). He has discovered that certain allergies contribute to the discomfort he has experienced, so we are now dubbing ourselves "Soy Boy and Gluten Girl". Far from superheroes, we are just ordinary folks who find ourselves in need of some dietary changes to improve our health! While we are serious about our health, we try not to take ourselves too seriously. I hope you will enjoy the ideas, recipes and other information that I plan to share with you here.
