Today we’re bucking trends for day 2 of the 101 days of blogging. We are also enjoying gluten free mac ‘n cheese. Yes, we can do it all!
Just because it’s popular doesn’t mean it’s smart or good for you.
Talk about trendy. How about the gluten-free trend? Gluten-free is not a fad for me. It’s my life. Not a diet.
But being gluten-free is the hot new lady on the block. She’s smart and sophisticated. And she’s thin. I mean, you do remember that Miley Cyrus said that’s how she got thin, right?
I’m obviously sprinkling a ton of sarcasm into the previous statements. Gluten-free is, quite honestly, not for everyone. Furthermore, just because it’s popular, doesn’t mean it’s smart. As a matter of fact, touting, “I’m gluten-free,” but then eating processed, packaged and gluten-free labeled items is anything but popular, smart or good for you. Trust me. I’ve been there. I’ve done that. It wreaked havoc on my gut.
That said, Mac ‘n Cheese is for everyone. Noodles. Cheese. Hot dogs. Those words make us feel like a 7-year old or broke college kid all over again. My Mac ‘n Cheese does not come in a box. It is not labeled, “gluten-free Mac ‘n Cheese.” It’s gluten-free because I use a quality noodle which is naturally gluten free (made with quinoa/corn).
Embrace your inner child, wild college days or simply the fact that you can eat Mac ‘n Cheese and still buck trends.

OH MY GOSH! Just stop. Just stop posting recipes that require me to get out ASAP and grocery shop. Translation: That looks delicious, I want it now. *Be back in 20 minutes from the store!* 🙂
Ha ha….enjoy it!
I really miss cheese 🙁
Hey Nicole! I will tell you…once I healed my gut, I could have it moderation. And I do. Just love The Laughing Cow. But yes, I do work with them!
Still haven’t tried Ghee butter – but I can’t find it in any of my stores. Might have to order it online because I’ve heard so much good about it!
