Week 3

Things are going better meal-wise, but something has been upsetting my stomach. I'm not sure if it's just grains in general, or the xyltol (which is known to cause intestinal distress in some people), or maybe even cauliflower.

We invited my Mom and Steph & Pete over for Easter dinner, which involved a tasty baked ham, cauliflower mash (since we can't have potatoes and meat together), asparagus, and salad. Then after playing Yahtzee we made a gluten-free microwave cake http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif (though ours was lemon, not chocolate) and ate it with homemade lemon sorbet. We'd made the recipe before as written and it turned out well, but this time the cakes deflated and had the texture of a dutch baby or popover, but they still tasted good.

I've had a lot more success with baking things lately, I made delicious carrot-zucchini-apple muffins with almonds and coconut, and we even made quite tasty lime bars, but all this is making me eat more carbs & sugar-substitute than I probably should. Oh, and cocoa powder mixed with "sugar" and sprinkled on buttered popcorn is amazing!

SO other than the unexplained stomach weirdness, which I fully intend on sussing out next week, things are going well.
