Having a hard time giving up...

My friend's wife's cooking! Its not bread that is hard for me to give up like normally for a person it is. Its home made chicken noodle soup! Ok, and banana bars. And oatmeal raisin cookies. Why did I have to get dx'd with celiac recently sighs.

Yes, there are plenty of good substitutes for the recipes you love. Rice noodles work great in chicken soup (just ask anyone who eats Thai food). Oatmeal raisin cookies? I wonder if you can tolerate the GF Oats that Bob's Red Mill sells. That plus some good GF all-purpose flour would make a great cookie. Get your friend's wife to help you work out some recipes.
