I recently read that adopting a gluten-free lifestyle will help with my situation (without going in to the gory details) so I've been trying it out for the past week and have to say that I feel a whole lot better!! Except for my lusting after ciabatta bread, it was fairly simple to do cold turkey. Whole Foods is my god-send especially since they have handy little labels pointing you towards all the gluten-free goodies. And it seems gluten-free is becoming the newest thing! I keep coming across great recipes everywhere, like the one I tried out today from Martha Stewart's newest magazine; Almond Poppy Seed Crackers, so very delicious and totally curbs the wheat cravings.
Here's the recipe and of course I had to show off the super cute apron I just bought from...of all places....Anthropologie!
Almond Poppy Seed Crackers
1 1/2 cups blanched almond flower
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
Combine flour, poppy seeds, salt. Mix in oil and egg white. Transfer mixture to a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover with another piece of parchment and roll dough out to an 8x12 inch rectangle (or roughly, who are we kidding). Uncover and cut into 12, 2x4 pieces.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. I topped mine with some cream cheese and Agave Nectar. So good!!

That's cool you are doing it! My sister's boyfriend has celiac so he can't eat gluten. There are a lot of options out there & I'm sure you are feeling a lot better!
BTW, that cookie cookbook I took photos for has a bunch of gluten free cookies!
And P.S., your apron is DARLING.
