A couple years ago, my boyfriend discovered he had celiac disease. Celiac disease means your body is unable to process gluten (wheat). Which is why most of the recipes you'll find here are *gluten free. I thought it might have been more of a challenge, although I found I've become a lot more creative and inventive since the discovery. And even though I myself can have wheat, I've become accustomed to most foods without using it. And I feel much healthier for doing so.
For instance, pasta noodles are easily replaced with rice or corn pasta noodles, and they taste the same. Most grocery stores sell them at almost the same price. Or I love to use those skinny little Asian rice noodles for pastas and stir fry's. They're only about $1, and only take 2 minutes to cook.
To thicken sauces and gravies just use corn starch instead of flour, not as much though.
Make your own chicken/ beef stalk from scratch
Rice flour is a great substitute for baking, and I find gluten free baked goods taste so much better (bread is an exception).
Gluten free sooo does NOT have to mean taste free. You can have the same meals you crave. Make it from scratch and just find creative ways to get around using "flour or bread".
