I Heart Coffee

My husband and I had a wonderful lunch yesterday at our favorite pizza place called Fat Cat Pie Co. in Norwalk, Connecticut. We are always delighted with the delicious array of speciality pizzas, artisanal  cheeses and amazing wine. As someone who suffers with celiac disease it is also such a treat to have the gluten free crust option for the pizza, all you have to do is ask for a gluten free crust! 

The speciality pizza yesterday was aptly named "The Healer," perfect for the winter season, topped with lots of garlic, oregano, fresh parsley and more! All of those healthy herbs to keep the winter germs away! I failed to get a photo of the pizza and salad we had but couldn't resist the photo below. What a fun way to end a meal with the heart shaped design on the cappuccino, and of course a lovely surprise and a special treat that was completely unexpected! This would also be such a fun way to treat your sweetie on Valentine's Day this year!

Cheetos and M&M's

Okay, so why you ask, cheetos and m&m's? 

Well I have had a rather difficult month and a half health wise. Wasn't quite sure what was wrong and finally found out I have celiac disease. This means that I have to eat a very strict gluten free diet for the rest of my life. I only found out 11 days okay and am slowly getting used to the idea. There is so much to learn - I had no idea how many items contain gluten from the obvious like bread to the ones that are not so obvious. It is definitely a learning experience and I am trying all kinds of new food products. Some that I love and some well - not so much. I eat a relatively healthy diet but do enjoy the occasional junk food which seem to all contain gluten.....

So back to the cheetos and m&m's - well I had a wonderful surprise when I found out they are gluten free! So I have treated myself today to some cheetos and m&m's!!!!
