Tonight's meal was solely for me! including the bottle of fine wine ... I don't do that too often as I always like to ensure the hubs will eat a good meal but he hates pasta and meatballs and I am partially Italian and I LOOOOOOVE pasta and since I have found wonderful gluten-free pasta I now can eat it again! When I was told I could no longer eat wheat, I tried several wheat-free/gluten-free items and became so discouraged because it was not the same. Noodles should be tender and al dente and taste like a noodle. Most of the brands I tried were chewy and tasted like cardboard. So it was at that point that I gave up on a lot of carbs. Luckily over the past year, I have found so many people that are wheat-free as well! They have been a wonderful support group for me and through them I have found grains I can eat again! So therefore, tonight is a meal all about me! The hubs actually ate it! He gave me three stars, that is fare. He said if he was just basing me on the meatballs and meatsauce he would have given me four stars but due to the noodles it was a 3. I don't understand his lack of love for the noodle. I can understand the unhealthy refined flour noodles but there are healthy options out there, and with a glass of fine wine I think life just became perfectmarriedtoanonfoodie.com
