I was able to get the book I wanted from Borders for 33% off! I love a good deal! It's "Gluten-Free Quick & Easy" by Carol Fenster, Ph.D. It looks like it is going to be a wealth of information for a beginner like me, and I do love quick & easy. I also saw the "1000 Gluten-Free Recipes" book at Border's. Wow! It is a nice, big, hard bound book. I'm not sure why that surprised me. What was I expecting with 1000 recipes? Looking forward to receiving that in the mail later this week.
Day 2 was pretty uneventful. Caleb inquired if the bacon I put on his cheeseburger tonight was gluten-free. Of course, it was. I bought it from the local butcher shop. It was smoked rather than processed. I thought it was good that he wants to make sure he is eating the right things.
Next on my list of things to make will be homemade Ranch dressing. He enjoys salad as long as it has Ranch dressing on it! Here is a great recipe with wonderful pics. of the process: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/06/homemade-ranch-dressing/ I will omit the Worchestershire sauce & Tabasco, but I believe the rest is gluten-free.
Unrelated to the GF Diet, I picked up another interesting book at Borders & skimmed through it called "The Coconut Oil Miracle". I previously read about some of the many benefits of Coconut Oil here:

This book goes into even more detail. While I began cooking with Coconut Oil a couple years ago, and have used it to make soap, I had no idea how great it is claimed to be for the skin & hair. I am going to implement some of the uses, including using it on Caleb's head to get rid of dandruff. We'll see how it works.
I have to say that I am so blessed to be able to seek out such valuable information for free on the web! Not to mention I get to share my finds & thoughts in hopes of helping others.
