What do you mean I can't eat that anymore?!

This blog really began as a series of e-mails I sent to friends and family documenting my culinary adventures. I love to cook, as anyone who knows me will gladly attest. However, a year ago, my Crohn's Disease started rearing it's ugly head (after being in remission for over a decade). Being a chemist, I wanted to experiment with my food intake and decided to try going Gluten-Free (or at least flour free). I also wanted my meals to have a low glycemic load (i.e. don't cause your blood sugar levels to spike) given the history of diabetes in my family....

I know what you're thinking because it's exactly what I was thinking, "No wheat and no sugar?! I'll be eatting steamed broccoli for the rest of my life...this sucks."

However, as I started sifting through recipes (Cooks Illustrated, Cooking Light, Alton Brown) I came across some delicious prospects that fit my criteria. I'll do my best to reference the source (because I'm a good scientist) if applicable. So, here, I share with you some of these culinary delights and hope you'll give them a try.
