Ok, here we go...

So, In February 2011 I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease...wanna know more? Go here!

I get a lot of questions about Celiac Disease and I'm a secret chef so I decided to start this blog so I can get the word out and share some of the meals I've cooked as well as some of the things I've found along the way. I'm very active and I refuse to let Celiac Disease keep me from doing all the fun stuff I'm used to :-)

I'm learning and growing so if you have any ideas or comments feel free to share!

Quinoa Adventure!

I recently bought some Ancient Harvest Quinoa shell pasta to make macaroni and cheese. Before my diagnosis I made mac 'n cheese ALL the time I loved it...sometimes I would eat it as my main meal! I can't remember the last time i had mac 'n cheese.

This is what it looks like when you boil it. You have to make sure that it's cooked all the way even if it takes longer than you are used to. The water will turn yellowish, but that's because it has some corn starch in it.



I like to use Velveeta and whole milk in my macaroni and cheese. Here is the finished product. It was pretty good! The texture was slightly different, but cheese makes everything better.
