Reason to Celebrate

Okay so all ya'll (I have been told this is plural for y'all) may not be celebrating with me but I sure am excited! While playing around on facebook I joined a Gluten-free group. After spending only a short time looking over their page I learned a ton and realized what a great resource this is for me. I am so excited to look into some of the information other people are sharing!

For those of you who may not know, I was diagnosed with a wheat allergy a couple of years back. It is SO hard at times to not eat wheat and actually I still do in small quantities. A gluten allergy includes wheat, rye, and barley. So when I go searching for gluten-free products I know they are wheat-free. So far it has not been easy trying to eat this way and definitely not cheap.

That is why I am so excited about learning more how to save money and find these products. Betty Crocker is making gluten-free cake, cookie, and brownie mixes and restaurants like Johnnie Carinos (they actually tell you what you can substitute to make a meal gf) and Olive Garden are adding gluten-free dishes to their menus.

My other reason to celebrate today was my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. I had a great time singing worship songs with one of my WOW Worship Cd's. Although I have a lot going on that is stressing me out, I still have an amazing God who is with me always.
