A couple of years ago I was checking out a gluten free blog and I ran across a woman who was upset because she had to cook for herself and her gluten loving family. The general consensus was that the rest of the family needed to buck up and eat what she ate. I agree with this to an extent. Last night I fixed Chicken Alfredo with gluten free noodles and my family loved it! It was the Heartland brand Fusilli noodles. They are very tasty and cook very easily. The only drawback I could see was they are made with corn and rice so if you are allergic to corn this is not a good option for you. Otherwise they are about the best gluten free noodles I've ever had.
But there are times when I have to cook gluten free for me and a regular meal for my family. It doesn't happen very often because I try very hard to prepare what we can all eat. If there is an occasion when I have to fix something I can't eat I make sure I have something to eat too. If it's cheeseburgers and I don't have any gluten free buns on hand, I eat mine plain with a side of rice or potatoes. If it's oriental take-out, which my family loves dearly, I have homemade stir fry or chicken fried rice I've made myself. There are gluten free soy sauces out there. Check your labels.
Not sure what's next on the gluten free list but I have to go to the city tomorrow so I'll pick up something from the health food store to try.
