A Young Wife’s Tale

Going gluten free hasn’t been nearly as hard as I thought it would be. Even eating out wasn’t too hard. My mother found some gluten free Betty Crocker mixes at her local Kroger. The brownies were good. Very rich. They tasted like dark chocolate brownies. So David hasn’t even missed out on baked goods.

David and I bought our house in 2008. Before living here, we lived in an apartment that was the size of our master suite. When we first moved in, we actually had it set up as a media room. When we put our house on the market, we started using it as a bedroom. Blue is my favorite color for decorating. I think I made David sick of blue. When we got a king size bed, David said that he wanted to go with neutral colors. Here’s our updated “neutral” master suite so far.

David and I tried the Strawberry Banana flavor. I really liked it. The flavor and consistency was nice. David said the ones I’ve been making taste better. However, I followed the instructions on the package exactly, adding one cup of milk to the frozen fruit. Perhaps if I’d made them with yogurt the way I normally make our smoothies, David would have liked it more.

Here’s the recipe.

1 Bar Fels Naptha ($1.19 at my local Kroger’s)
1 Cup Borax ($4.99 for a 55 oz. box on Amazon)
1 Cup Washing Soda ($4.34 for a 76 oz. box on Amazon)

Being organized means I don’t waste money buying something because I can’t find what I already own. Clutter gets in the way and wastes my time. Anyone else want to join the Declutter Challenge? Amy will post a linky at the end of each month so we can share our successes and encourage each other.
