I eat meat and fresh or frozen veges & fruit, and not much else. I love bread and I can use Pamela's bread mix. It's amazing & so far I haven't discovered anything I can make from scratch that compares. I try not to eat it too often because grains of any kind don't really set too well with me. You'd think I'd be thin but sadly, I am not. I've discovered a great choc. chip recipe and a recipe to make a chocolate cake in a coffee mug. Whoever came up with that recipe is a very, very bad person! It takes only 5 min. using the microwave to get chocolate cake. :twisted: But basically I stick to just meat and veges. I cook everything at home and the only place I eat out at is a Chinese restaurant I used to work at. The owner knows how to cook for me, which is really nice. It also means he knows how to cook for others with similar allergies and that has given him a boost in business from those with CD.

I love how so many of you learned to sew at an early age. Since neither of my girls are interested in quiting, I'm getting devious with my grandkids. This summer I get my grandson for the first time for a couple weeks this summer. He's only 2 and a half so I'm trying to come up with ways to make it fun for him. I'm going to pre-cut a bunch of squares for him to play with and arrange in whatever pattern he decides. Then, once he goes to bed, I'll sew them together and he can wake up to a quilt he helped design. We can even put a pretty one together for mom (my daughter), which will make a fun gift from him to her. My hope is to hook him early and make a lifelong impression! I'm supposed to get a granddaughter in November so I hope by the time she is old enough to come spend time with me I'll already have my grandson well and truly hooked. :-D
