So far this whole gluten free challenge has been fairly easy. Aside from reading labels our lives haven't changed much. We just make different choices now. Day 28 without any cravings. That is still the biggest benefit I have noticed, on top of the weight loss. But day 28 arrives with a new challenge. We've been invited to a foodie party. A pizza party. A deep dish pizza party. WE LOVE PIZZA!
The party throwers know that Mike and I are gluten free for this challenge, but invited us anyway and we are thrilled to be invited. We have a history of being social hermits that we are trying to break free from. But of course we would not expect them to make a special meal just for the 2 of us so when we accepted the invite we also confirmed that we would bring our own pie and dessert.
As you know, if you've read our past posts or even just browsed the titles, we've been experimenting with pizza, but they have all been thin crust pizzas. Deep dish is a new challenge. A totally different process. And admittedly, until this morning I had missed the Chicago theme of the foodie event so I am completely unprepared. Thankfully I am creative and fearless in the kitchen.
On the menu for today, GF deep dish pizza (or thin crust if the deep dish doesn't work out) and flourless chocolate cupcakes with a vanilla sauce. If the recipes turn out well I will share them later. Can't share them now as I haven't made them up yet.
