Shrimp Tacos

It would be a bold face lie for me to tell you that adjusting to a Celiac diet has been a walk in the park.

I’ve managed and for the most part it hasn’t been terrible. I was a pretty healthy eater prior and have always done a lot in the way of cooking at home.

BUT, replacements for things just aren’t the same (even if they come close) and sometimes a girl just wants a quarter pounder with cheese, fries and a dr pepper from McDonalds.

And when you just can’t have it: it sucks.

I think the whole “you can’t” adds fuel to the fire of that psychological game.

Be that as it may, I forego giving into the cravings because dealing with the fallout just isn’t worth it (although, I will argue with myself for hours sometimes that maybe it won’t be so bad).

The longer I live gluten free, the more sensitive my system becomes and the fallout can happen much more quickly and be all the more disastrous.

So I just don’t.

One of the things I really thought I’d miss are these shrimp tacos:

They were such an easy go-to for a quick dinner and ridiculously delicious.

I determined that the un-breaded variety just wouldn’t be as good. And because I was so determined, it took me a while to give it a shot.

Truth time?

It isn’t the same – because nothing ever is – BUT this other option is also exceptionally delicious and just as simple as the original so it’s won a place in my simplified meal planning line-up…and now that it’s summer I foresee shrimps on the barbie…

…and fresh tomatoes from the garden…
