The treasure trove!!

I've discovered that searching for paleo (aka caveman diet) and primal blueprint (same idea, slightly different) recipes are producing more fruitful results than gluten free.  Since I'm not supposed to have rice or grains, the paleo (which basically avoids anything from the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago) diet helps out a lot - their breads are made of seeds, rather than grains.
