I am 13 days into my month of being gluten-free. I have read blogs and books, learning about what isn’t entirely made out of wheat and tried a lot of new recipes, hitting veggies hard. And I’ve got to tell you, I am feeling so much better. Of course, it could be a combination of holiday cocktail’ing being over and not stuffing my face with copious amounts of carbs and sugar but I have absolutely noticed my stomach feeling better and having more energy in general.

My favorite discovery (aside from feeling better)? Spaghetti squash! It really, truly has the consistency of spaghetti and it was so good topped with sautéed veggies and cherry tomatoes. Polenta with homemade marinara sauce was a close second. Next up? Gluten-free baking. Stay tuned.
