I too buy gluten to add to our home made bread; you cannot buy bread that tastes as good as what comes out of our bread machine. Never enjoyed all that hand kneading. Gets done, cools off, and most of it gets frozen. I like that it gets stale in a day if you don't; must be a lot of preservatives in the store bought to keep it fresh so darn long!
Absolutely love home made pasta (OMG: wheat and EGGS!). Are cooking more and more and avoiding the prepared foods. Enjoy spending time (OK, and money) on new recipes.
We probably have increased our carbs. However we both do a fair amount of exercise, feel great, and as long as we feel good, don't gain weight (I get close to overweight bmi, she doesn't) and our lab numbers are fine (they are) then we'll continue to eat what we enjoy and ignore all the latest booksellers. Now everything is gluten free; remember the fat free fad? I know some swear by certain exclusions/diets, and if that works for their metabolism fine. But I'll continue to enjoy the whole spectrum of foods, and adult beverages in a fairly moderate amount. If anyone comes up with an organ meat free diet I might sign on.
