On Butterflies of Wisdom today, Best-Selling Author, Win C welcomes Amanda Moss. The journey that led to Amanda’s first Gluten Free cookbook, Practical Gluten Free. Which in turn, motivated her husband and Amanda to start our own self publishing company Clockwise Publishing. Amanda was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 14 years ago. At the time, information on gluten free foods were few and far between. In fact, Amanda recall breaking down in tears in the grocery aisle of whole foods when she saw the few selections that were labeled gluten free. They were over-priced, bland, and inconvenient to obtain. Amanda will never forget the first gluten free bread she tried; it was literally like eating a dry hard sponge. Amanda gave it her best shot for a few months and began “cheating” a couple times a week, then three times a week, until Amanda felt sick and fatigued. Amanda would follow the diet again until she felt better and then back to her old tricks. Amanda was never fully informed on how dangerous of a game she was playing until years later when she was part of a celiac study. Amanda have been on a strict gluten free diet for approximately 4 years now and do not miss that foggy fatigue and internal issues. Amanda will say that she is lucky that she already enjoyed cooking and this made the transition easier for her. Luckily, many big brands have joined the gluten free bandwagon due to awareness and demand. This makes it much easier and less work to tweak recipes. When Amanda first began tweaking recipes, she had to literally make all her sauces, spice blends, and soup bases by hand. Amanda always joked that she would soon be churning her own butter. Amanda hope her compilation of recipes from over the years will make it easier for both the seasoned gluten free dieter and the newbies coming to terms with their new reality. These recipes are all easy to follow, do not require major chef skills, and will appeal to the whole family. These recipes have been tried and tested many times with both her own family and at larger gatherings; no one grumbles about the gluten free aspect and many ask Amanda for a copy of her recipe. Most of these recipes are in Amanda’s regular rotation and requested by both her son and husband, who are not required to eat gluten free. These recipes will make it easy to accommodate the gluten free individual in your family without sacrificing the taste and flavor that the rest of the family is accustom to.
