So, a while back I posted a cheese sauce recipe, but in my search for the perfect easy mac and cheese , I've discovered the obvious.
Take shredded cheese and mix it in hot noodles. Ta-da! Mac and cheese. I can't believe I've never thought of this before.
That's really it right now. I'm going to make some pasta. With gluten. Just for me.
Thanks for reading,

Little Updates
As our Year of Gluten Free Living draws to a close, I am getting increasingly paranoid that we haven't been gluten-free ENOUGH, and that some kind of microscopic crumbs that touch his food here and there will seriously skew the results. J will be having another upper endoscopy come February, and I just really want things to be definitive. I don't want my precious little boy to have to suffer through an ounce more of medical intervention than he absolutely means, especially because of some sort of failure on my part.
For example, we don't use a separate toaster for his bread. Over the year, he's probably had 6 bagels toasted in the coffee shop's toaster, too.
I'm also not hyper-vigilant about cross contamination as far as processing facilities. All the anecdotal research I've done on this said that you just have to find out what your tolerance is as far as gluten. The problem with that is, he's basically non-symptomatic. As I may have mentioned before, he's never had any GI symptoms related to gluten, and no behavioral symptoms either. The only way the possible celiac was discovered was through blood tests and biopsies sprouting from the bloody stool. And remember, it was a polyp which was causing the bloody stool, not celiac.
So let's all hope I don't screw it up for the boy.
