Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger: Wheat Free Meat Free

When my physician told me I had to eliminate gluten from my diet, she said, “This is going to be a little tricky since you are vegetarian.”  No way, I thought, I can do this.  Surely there’s not gluten in everything I eat.

My doctor was right, it was tricky.  I spent most of a day in the grocery store reading labels of the foods I liked to eat.  No more veggie burgers, veggie dogs, seitan, burger crumbles.  And that was just the meat replacement products I had been using!  I had to learn about bread, cereal, sauces and condiments.  There was a lot to learn.  I turned to the internet for help and Wheat Free Meat Free was one of the first gluten-free vegetarian blogs I discovered. Kalinda’s recipes have been a huge help and introduced me to a less-processed way to eat.

For this month’s Adopt A Gluten-Free Blogger, I made Kalinda’s Millet Breakfast Casserole.  Two years ago when I began my gluten-free journey, millet was new to me.  It has recently become a staple in my cupboard.  This is the first casserole I have made with millet and it turned out so well. It’s a hearty breakfast, perfect for starting off a busy day!

This casserole was great hot from the oven and also reheated well for breakfast the second day.  I hope to try it with other berries, perhaps raspberries or blackberries, soon. This five-ingredient recipe is entering frequent rotation in the breakfast offerings at our house!

Thanks to Wendy at Celiacs in the House for hosting this month’s Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger.  It was fun and tasty trying another of Kalinda’s Wheat Free Meat Free recipes!
