Ahh The Sweet Cravings Have Begun..

I started of with a lot of excitement to try out alternatives to gluten and dairy but right now I AM CRAVING CHOCOLATE. Really bad.. and I can't have any. Sad face. Not until you cut out gluten and dairy completely do you realize how often you snack on sweet things -- well, in my case that is. Most candy contains artificial flavoring or preservatives and these both contain gluten. That is pretty much immediate elimination. And cakes, cookies, pastries are for sure out of the question. And chocolate. Oh chocolate... Well, I can have dark chocolate which I guess is something I should try. Fruit has been a great sweet satisfy-er though!

Currently my mouth is watering for peanut butter and chocolate. Aka: I want peanut butter chocolate brownies at this point. Meh. Or any cake for that matter. Just want to have a gluten fest.

I thought it would be a genius idea to look up baked goods to help with the cravings. Let me tell you: bad idea. It only made the cravings worse. All the food looked so good! If you are curious what I was looking at and made me feel that way -- go to this link. http://foodgawker.com/post/category/dessert/   It is pretty much dessert paradise.

I should really stop whining. Don't want to be that Debby downer -- especially when it is about food. Trying to avoid being one of those peeps. I guess I am not doing a good job at that right now.

I am anxious to try out some gluten and dairy free cake recipes! I have some chickpea recipes coming up that I want to try. Currently in the process of boiling dried chickpeas. Yes, that's right, I am making cake out of chickpeas. Lets see how this turns out!
