Don't be surprised that my husband does 89% of the cooking. I usually get home late and John has dinner at the table waiting. No, he is not a stay at home dad. He works a stressful high security job dealing with government stuff. When I met my husband he was raising 2 special needs girls.. alone. Lauren is his daughter.. Lauren's half sister is Maddie. Maddie's father is unknown.. If you ask my husband he says she belongs to him. He cooked, shopped, did laundry and manage the girls appointments and worked. His family is so supportive but, out of state. Yes, I married an amazing man.
So, one of my oldest friends called to check on me the other day. She has celiacs disease. (A disease in which chronic failure to digest food is triggered by hypersensitivity of the small intestine to gluten.) My friend (Sy) she said a lot of really sweet things but, she told me this: You will learn to eat differently while your family eats what you prepared for them out of love. You will find enjoyment in cooking for your family. My therapist says this was good advice.. This keeps you healthy and a chance to live a long healthy life by eating healthy.
So-- I've done just that. Cooking for my family all while I am feeling full from my 1/8 of cup of food. Thanks Sy for speaking truth to me.
so awesometastic! You are doing great!
