Growing up my favorite dessert was this Lemon Lush Dessert. Thankfully, with some tweaking we were able to create this recipe to be completely gluten-free!

For the main meal we will have steak. Steak is perfect for the gluten-free lifestyle, all the seasoning you need is salt and pepper. It is important to be careful with seasonings and sometimes it can cross contaminate with wheat.
Meal Plan 2: Gluten-free Sweet & Sour Meatballs. To be honest, I feel like I could eat this meal everyday without getting sick of it. I love these meatballs!
Meal Plan 4: Delicious Gluten-Free Taco Dish, crockpot meal. This dish is easy and tasty. We love adding gluten free tortilla chips on top!
Meal Plan 5: Gluten-Free Korean Beef is another family favorite that we love! You can add green onions, and sriracha on top if you’d like. And we love serving it over gluten free rice noodles, or rice.
It can be hard to step into a gluten free lifestyle, however, it shouldn’t be overwhelming.
Our works is understanding the gluten free lifestyle more so thankfully there’s more awareness.
After my own experience with being new to the gluten free world (back in 2008), I came up with 4 steps to help you:
Share the News
Why share the news?
I have learned it’s important to be up front and honest about your gluten free lifestyle.
Be tactful and nice when you explain your gluten free guidelines. But let others know the importance of following gluten free food guidelines.
Gluten free living is more common now so there’s no need to feel like an “inconvenience” in any way.
It’s best just to let others know that you eat gluten free to stay safe and healthy.
2. Find Support Resources.
I am on multiple Gluten free Facebook groups.
I also follow a lot of gluten free accounts on Instagram and tik tok.
When you’re surrounded by helpful resources you don’t feel alone in the gluten free journey.
3. Download helpful gluten free apps
I currently have 2 apps on my phone that I use to help with my gluten-free lifestyle:
-Gluten free scanner: you scan food items snd it tells you if it’s gluten free or not.
-Find Me Gluten Free: it’s a resource mapping out gluten free restaurants and bakeries in your area. This is so helpful and nice.
4. Keep track of Gluten-free Recipes You Enjoy
One of the reasons I started this blog was to keep track of gluten free recipes that we love.
Pinterest is a great resource to organize recipes too.
Whatever way you choose to do it, make sure you can easily find your gluten free recipes..it helps make life simpler and easier when it comes to cooking gluten free.

And it’s ok to feel the emotions that come with it all.
When I was first diagnosed with celiacs I cried most every day for the first two months. I didn’t know what to eat, it was a lot of stress to do something so simple…to eat!
However, as time went on my tears faded and things got easier.
Even now…after years of living a gluten-free lifestyle, I still would say I have a few days in the year where I get annoyed or emotional about the food limitations.
And that’s ok.
The world has improved access to gluten free foods which is wonderful. But I guess there’s still a bit of a “mourning” that surfaces just realizing that all flour and wheat are cut out of your life forever.
So my advice is, feel the emotions, don’t dwell on them, look at all the resources there are in the world now for living gluten-free, and move on.
Do you have days where the emotions catch up to you when it comes to living a gluten-free lifestyle?
