I've never tried to go gluten-free but we did do a low carb diet for a while that cut out many of the sames things. I never realized how much I love bread and pasta until then :)

Check out Hodgson Mills -- they have some interesting gluten free products like pancake mix, muffin mix & even cookies.

Oh I hear you loud and clear. I miss alot of those things as well. Cinnamon buns, yummmm, homemade buns, Breaded chicken, garlic toast, brownies, etc...
I also make some of the stuff at home and have found some really good recipes but although I feel WAY better I still miss some of the old food.
Oh I do miss a good hamburger as well.:)

I have an amazing recipe for Shirley temple cupcakes and for pumpkin cookies. Yummmm!!!!

That would be tough, but so many things you listed are so not healthy, whether they are gluten free or not. Your heart is benefitting too by not eating those things. Keep finding grilled things you like, like fish, chicken, ect. I crush up whole wheat Ritz crackers when I need to bread something. Isn't there gluten-free crackers you could try using at home as a breading?

I can only imagine how hard that must be. :( I just read an article a friend posted on facebook about why she is thankful she can't eat Girl Scout Cookies anymore, because she is gluten free, too. It was an article the Washington Times posted.

It has to be hard! I'm a bread lover too and I know it would be hard for me.

it is a real bummer to not be able to indulge in your favorite foods anymore or to have to think hard and investigate before you put anything in your mouth. But I am thankful you're feeling the positive results of your sacrifices.

Oh, I know this too well. I miss potato bread (my FAVORITE comfort food, especially during those first several months of each of my pregnancies when I couldn't stomach much else), Panera, and Subway (we used to eat Subway all the time for bike races...now I have to pack a lunch and it's hard to have a sandwich with gluten free bread - it's just not the same). Mostly, I think I miss just grabbing a quick snack or meal on the go and not having to worry about what I'm going to eat whenever we are gone over meal time.
