Weirdest thing I've had to do yet? Ask my Italian aunt to see if she can prepare anything gluten free for me to eat on Christmas Eve. The seven fish dinner...I'd love to partake. It's so hard to eat a certain way when culturally gluten/pasta is such a staple. This must be the hardest thing I've had to do yet. We eat so much gluten in our family, I'm not entirely sure anyone would even know how to cook for me! It's kinda comical. I am actually sitting here contemplating shipping gluten free pasta to myself in CT so I can prepare it at my aunt's. It's so hard to find foods I can eat being an Italian American. Everything for us contains white flour. When I went Paleo, my family noticed my weight change when we facetimed during Easter. I told them I was not eating gluten. The first thing out of my uncles mouth was "what's gluten?" and this is a common reaction. No one knows what to do with me! It's so comical. I am really going to have to plan ahead and make sure there are plenty of of options for me to eat. UGH I just realized my aunts make these kick ass Christmas cookies. Crap. I'm going to be so screwed. One of my aunts makes these hershey kiss/peanut butter cookies and peanut butter balls. I am going to have to gluten myself because I have little self control when it comes to those types of things. Man o man. I'm going to have a hard Christmas. I better make an appointment for Pilates before and after I travel! It's going to be so needed.
In prep, I'm going to look at menus for Paleo christmas food, maybe I can make a Paleo Christmas dinner for my family. Here's to my first holiday season as a Paleo!
Amendment: my aunt is the best, she totally has my back for Christmas eating!!! WOOOOO I can eat!!!!!!!!!
