Grocery Shopping

So, today I learned a very valuable and painful lesson.  I got up this morning wide eyed and bushy tailed and decided I would go grocery shopping for the items I need for rest of this week’s menu.  Well, I started off at Wal-Mart, swung by Bed Bath and Beyond and finished off at Whole Foods.  By the time I got back to the dairy section of Wal-Mart I was already wishing I had just stayed home, but I pushed through.  I had two assistances with me which made it a little easier.  Bed, Bath and Beyond was a quick “run” in. Whole Foods I was almost on my hands and knees crawling around.  Thank God the people there are so friendly and helpful and instead of walking around trying to find what I needed a very nice gentleman showed me exactly where the stuff I needed was located. Plus someone in produce was more than happy to help kiddo #1 with the items I kept telling him to go find.  By the time I got out of there I made the declaration that I am not/cannot cook dinner tonight and that is that.  Luckily I had to stop at a local market for a few things for my sister and I picked up some premade stuff for dinner.  My boys had the Greek nachos, my sister had the Gyros on rice and I had a Greek Salad with a side order of dolmas (stuffed grape leaves).  I realize I am the only one in the house who will be 99% gluten free (I have no idea if there is gluten in my meds).  I think there are things my sister just plain straight out won’t give up, which is fine.

I have about five items in one of my gluten free cook books I will be testing out over the next week.  Plus there might be two recipes out of the GF baking book!
