La Tortilla Factory Gluten Free Wraps

Ma went on vacation to visit her sister.  She left me at home with Dad.  I was kind of sad that I couldn't go along, but someone has to take care of Dad... and Veronica!  And staying home has it's perks. Ma comes home with gifts! And this time, she brought home Kirsten!  I am so excited! Kirsten!

But Ma brought home something even better than an American Girl doll!  OK, nothing's better than a new American Girl doll but this is pretty close.  She brought some La Tortilla Factory Gluten Free Wraps. Seriously, wraps!

Riding lessons

I love horseback riding and I've been taking lessons for as long as I can remember.  This is Penny. She's a good horse and doesn't spook easily, which is good, since Veronica likes to ride with me.  I would feel awful if Veronica fell off or got kicked. But Penny is always careful when my chipmunk friends are around.

I've been thinking about teaching Veronica how to ride by herself but I don't think she would be serious about learning.  Whenever she rides with me, she's always hopping around and playing.  I'm not sure what she's doing back there but she's obviously up to no good! I bet she would make a good circus horseback riding chipmunk!  But I haven't learned how to ride like that yet so I can't teach her.  Maybe someday we will learn and then we can join the circus and be trick riders!  That would be awesome!

Do you want to see what happened today when we went for a ride?  

Here, take a look at Me and Veronica and Penny.

Back to School

The new additions to my lunch box collection.

Hurray!  It's Friday!  One week down and only 40 more to go!  Thirty seven, if I don't count the holiday, winter and spring breaks.  Not that I'm counting or anything.  I like school well enough but I like summer better.

General Tao's Tofu

I just want to point out this recipe for General Tao's Tofu on vegweb.com.  I've made it a couple of times and we had it again last night.  It is so good!  You gotta try it!

It's gluten free, just make sure to check your soy sauce and veggie broth for gluten.   Instead of veggie broth, I used water and Better Than Bouillon Vegetable Base and I use San-J Tamari Sauce.

Vegetarian Chili

I have a couple of friends who are vegetarian so I do a lot of meat free cooking.  In fact, I was a pescetarian before I found out I was gluten intolerant.  I ate fish and seafood, eggs and dairy but no other animals.  But a lot of the meat analogs that I used to eat contain gluten and I had to give them up.  (Actually, discovering I was gluten intolerant totally explained why I always thought seitan was pure evil!)  Anyway, while I was learning to eat GF, it was kind of tough getting enough protein in my diet so I started eating a little poultry, beef and pork.  I know!  I know!  There are lots of gluten free, meat free people out there, but hey, I'm only a kid!
