Whenever anyone asks me for advice going gluten free, I always start with: Be Prepared.
Being prepared with lots of food options you can eat at home was the key factor in how I made it through my first three months. AND the many LARA bars I kept in my purse.
Since yesterday was my last day of vacation, a grocery shop was pretty HIGH on my list. I needed lunch supplies, snacks, and supper stuff. Parrish and I made a menu for the week. We had started planning out our meals for a few weeks, and then with the holidays we stopped planning. (mostly because I was never home) BUT I really missed planning. It makes supper so much easier!
In Da’ fridge. Don’t pay attention to the mountain of diet coke. I’ve tried to give it up…I’m clearly still trying :)
Steak on the top shelf for Fajitas tonight, corn tortillas for everything, and in true gluten hates me fashion: pepperoni directly beside the tofu :) My two favorite items in the fridge right now are:
and
Heck yes!! I found the elusive Chocolate Oikos!! I had basically been stalking my local Whole Foods for weeks. I can’t wait to try one of those babies for my snack today! AND pickled okra. Love Love Love!
Don’t forget the veggie drawer:
Spinach and Stawberries = Future Green Monsters
***********Are you guys off of work today? Big MLK plans? I’ll actually be manning a One World Market table at a MLK day event in Durham. I’m excited to get back to work! Wow. I can’t believe it!
I plan on sending out another batch of stickers tomorrow, so if you’re interested email me with your shipping!

I agree - preparation and planning are key! You can't wait until you are already hungry to figure out what you want to eat...I know early on I ended up in lots of pain because I hadn't prepared & ended up with something that "seemed" like it would be gluten free. Now with no gluten & no dairy - I plan out all my meals for the week & know what I can get for take out in a pinch.
OOOOOH! I wanna hear more about the oikos and the okra. Will you let us know how they are?
<3
I totally understand the diet coke! Hello my name is Jillian and I'm a Diet Coke addict. Haha. I didn't know they even pickled okra?!
Wow - I need to locate the chocolate greek yogurt the next time I hit up Whole Foods. That looks amazing.
Please do let me know how that chocolate yogurt is. It looks delicious!!!
I loved hiding away LARA bars for a rainy day. Don't you just hate how food-challenged we are on road trips. I find it super important to pack a bag full of gf food to a road trip and then finding gf resturants near where I'm staying on a vacation.
