Adventures in Bennionland

Well our little gluten-free family made it’s first foray into the GF online menu world.

Check us out!

And thanks to Liz and Melony at Kill.The.Gluten for letting us submit a recipe. I get so many ideas from their site – it helps make my GF life somewhat sane.

For those of you gluten-eaters – try this recipe only instead of making rolls buy Pillsbury Crescent rolls and put a little bit of the chicken mixture inside of it. Then bake according to the crescent roll directions – put a little dab of warm cream of chicken soup on top and presto!

I have been wanting to post this video for a long time – but with all of the other fun and adventures we’ve had, I have always had something else to post!

However – tonight is one of those kick-back nights where I find myself trying to find something to do. Oh sure I’m doing the laundry, just cleaned out the fridge, and got the boys to bed…but still, I’m a tad bored. Maybe it’s because Eric is working late and we usually do crosswords, watch a movie, or yap our ears off.

So here we go – now you all get treated to this magical video! Both Will and Walker are at phases in their life where their imaginations are wild with activity and their learning ability is ripe. I LOVE it. This is the best time to be a parent – and an observer.

In August Eric and I put the boys down for a nap – and decided to do our favorite activity…OH GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF THE GUTTER! We played Trivial Pursuit. It is by far one of my favorite games…even though Eric kicks the patootie out of me every time.

During the game Will woke up from his nap – came out and joined us. Within a few minutes of watching he was ready to take over. And here is what happened (watch round 2 if you are short on time):

Round 1: Warming Up

Round 2: The Challenge Begins

I am SO glad that Eric finally lost!

Tomorrow we will hopefully get some answers.

Tomorrow is Will’s endoscopy. Hard to believe that it has taken so long and also that it is finally here.

I’m not sure what to hope for. As his Mom I’d much rather him not have Celiac Disease. However, after doing all the research I feel comfy with him having Celiac Disease. It’s manageable, it’s doable, it’s livable.

If it’s not Celiac, or even if it is but the test still doesn’t show it, then I’m not sure what that means. And I’m not one that settles easy with the ‘unknown’.

More to come…

tomorrow…
