I love my family. I'm thrilled that they don't have medically restricted diets. I love them so much that I don't wish for them to eat gluten-free. They love me, and they don't want me to get sick from accidental gluten exposure. We've created systems for our kitchen that keeps everyone healthy and happy. I've just uploaded a new YouTube video called Happy and Gluten-free tips in a Non-Gluten-Free Kitchen about staying gluten-free in a non-gluten-free kitchen. I did the video to show what it looks like in real life. The uptake is:
1. Segregate your foods so that no one mistakes your peanut butter with their peanut butter. 2. Designate the GF cooking utensils, not because utensils don't get un-gluteny when you wash them, but because having a unique style spatula or spoon is a great way to remember which to use when you have both gluten-free and gluten-full foods cooking on the stove at the same time. 3. Be careful, but don't make yourself crazy. I make sandwiches for the boys' lunch every school day morning on paper towels on the counter. After I'm done, I wipe the space down with a Clorox wipe and when I make my lunch, I don't do it right on the counter. I use a plate or a cutting board or whatever. Figure out what systems will work for you. Eat safe, be happy! I'm traveling for work and thought I'd demonstrate my approach to happy GF traveling. Go here to see it:
