Gluten-free! I must tell you that this is a completely new field for me. I’ve spent hours staring at the computer screen trying to learn about the gluten-free dietary lifestyle.

I was never Gluten sensitive, maybe I’m not even now. However, recently my thyroid gland started to act little funny.

Giving me tons of symptoms. Waving at me with a red flag to do something about it, and I finally did. Foods with gluten should be avoided when you have issues with thyroid.

I guess gluten triggers it and you don’t feel very good after eating let’s say regular bread. READ here great article-interview. So, I wanted to experiment on myself.

Yes, I said it before, If I have to give up bread or pasta, it might as well be the end of the world, but it’s actually making me a bit better; I am less tired and sleepy, my stomach feels better as well, and I feel way less crazy. Meaning, my moodiness is at bay since I stopped consuming it all together about a week ago.

With that being said, it is so freaking hard! Seriously, I love anything that has gluten, especially freshly made and right from the oven bread.

I usually do not like stuff from the box, but since I am little lost what’ is good in this gluten-free department, I went for “Hodgson Mill” which is Gluten Free, Wheat free, MSG Free Cornbread mix. Sounds alright, healthy, right?!

I gotta tell you, it is a fantastic mix and I absolutely loved the taste. I made these 3 times this week already.

Some people say “don’t buy it if it says ‘gluten-free’ on the box“, but I think if you research the company or experiment what is really working for you, it is still ok as long as you are alright. Also, I really enjoy Bob’s Red Mill products. I highly recommend it.

In the case of cheese, please omit or use cottage cheese that you like. I just happen to like Breakstone’s brand. Addition of cottage cheese gives me more moisture and flavor too.

Needless to say, I always add cottage cheese in my cornbread or corn muffins. With this mix, you can make 12 muffins, or make one cornbread.
