Coupons!

No, I'm not one of those crazy women you see on TV buying 60 bags of cat food and they don't even own a cat. But yes, I do use coupons, and today I was a very happy woman to find 5 inserts in my Sunday paper! I only use coupons for the things we use, and with 3 of us in the house eating gluten free, it's more of Eric's food, and non-food items. One of the few exceptions that there seems to always be coupons for is yogurt, which is wonderful since I think Landon could eat it day and night. So I'm off to clip and read this week's sales papers!

Gluten Free Excitement

As I have mentioned before, my boys are gluten free, and since June of this year, I am also gluten free. Much to my excitement, I have discovered that Betty Crocker has started to convert some of their Hamburger Helper meals to gluten free. Finally a gluten free meal that is cheap, quick, and easy! Thank you Betty Crocker!

I was not compensated in any way for this post, I'm just a fan!

$3 for both boxes

You have got to love the sale section. All of this for $3! So far I have shredded zucchini and yellow squash ( I sneak it in recipes for added veggies) and made a batch of homemade applesauce. Some of the potatoes were also used tonight in Mexican casserole. Thats it for day 2!

WFMW - Gluten Free Restaurant Menus

With both of my children having celiac disease, and my Dr recommending that I follow a gluten free diet for other reasons, we are very conscious of what restaurants we can and cannot eat at. We are seeing more and more restaurants offering a separate gluten free menus or providing a list of their current foods that are gluten free. The other night, thanks to Uno's Chicago Grill, my boys were able to enjoy pizza at a restaurant for the first time in ages. I have also found that PF Changs and Outback Steakhouse offer a gluten free menu also. Restaurants that post a "safe" foods list include Chili's, Denny's, Chik-fil-A, and Wendy's. I am sure there is more, as I have only discovered the ones we have visited or frequent. I also want to declare that I am not receiving any compensation from the above listed establishments, I just want to share the information with anyone who may find themselves in the same position my family is.

WFMW - Target Popcorn

I will admit, I'm a Target addict. But with a 2 1/2 yr old and a 5 yr old I have to come up with a plan to keep them happy while I joyfully browse the clearance racks. My solution, the $1 bag of popcorn from the snack bar, split between 2 bags. Best of all, it's gluten free! I sometimes upgrade to the combo which for $1.50, which gives Momma a much needed Diet Coke.

Peanut Butter and Jelly

This is a picture of Ethan after he ate his first peanut butter and jelly ( on rice bread) since going gluten free. Do you think he liked it? He didn't let it breathe!
