Other 2012 excitement

So other then all of my running races we've had a few other new things happen to us this fall.
First we had to get a new car yikes.  This was back in October sometime- my car which was only 4 yrs old had some major electrical malfunctions and we decided it was better to trade it in then end up crashing so we got a new volkswagen.

The other big news is we have switched Matt to a gluten free diet which has been an adjustment and lots of learning.  We are basically learning a new language learning what foods are safe to eat and how to make gluten free foods taste like the normal food we are use to.  However this allows for a creative atmosphere and lots of new recipe adventures.  So far I have made:
- Gluten free beef stew
- Gluten free chicken and rice soup
- Gluten free Chicken stirfry
- Gluten free gravy and cookies
-Gluten free beef and broccoli
The things I will be trying for thanksgiving will be a gluten free stuffing and gluten free pumpkin log so Matt can still have his favorite Thanksgiving treats.
Also made beef shishkabobs which was a good gluten free idea.

 

Before switching Matt to gluten free he was starting to cook some- here is the delicious french dip dinner he made for us.  Yum!  Unfortunetly now he can't have the rolls and he has to have gluten free au jus sauce.

 

 For a late anniversary celebration I had gotten us Randy Travis Concert Tickets.  He is Matt's favorite country artist and so we went a few weeks ago and saw this relaxing and entertaining concert.  Matt really enjoyed it.

 So we've been up to quite a few things although we haven't had any time to go hiking yet this fall :( due to my work schedule and Matt's heavy class load.  But we have gotten to do a few things like the concert and a few movies.  Keep tuned in as I'm sure I will have more gluten free cooking adventures coming soon.
