Gluten Free

I'm on day 2 of gluten free - it's not as hard as I thought, but there are a lot of things that I just can't have any more - mainly sweets, so I guess that's a good thing ... but I looove pocky so much =(

Thankfully I already had some gluten free potato soup mix in my cupboard - my mom found it and bought it because it tasted good, then got me a container of it ... and it just happened to be gluten free.

Also thankfully, my regular grocery store has a "natural" aisle, where they stock organic, gluten free, vegan, peanut free and other specialty diet foods. I went there yesterday and stocked up on some staples like pasta (I bought corn pasta and brown rice pasta to try them both out), biscuit / pancake mix, corn starch and such. I already had a box of mochiko sweet rice flour in my cupboard.

Last night, I made mochiko chicken using Just Jenn's recipe - I already had soy sauce that didn't contain wheat - and it was amazingly delicious.
I used 2 chicken breasts and halved the marinade recipe, and it was more than enough for the mister and myself.
I also made gluten free mac & cheese - corn pasta, homemade cheese sauce using corn starch instead of flour, and instead of breadcrumbs for the topping, I crumbled up some corn tortilla chips! I made it in one of those foil mini loaf tins, so it was just the right amount for dinner for two!
I liked it, but thought the mac & cheese was a little bland - I'll have to add a bit more cheese and spice next time. The Mister said it was good.

I'm having leftover mochiko chicken for lunch with salad.

Dinner will be baked salmon and a gluten free risotto mix. We've tried the risotto before, and it was really good.
