Gluten (from Latin gluten, “glue”) is a protein composite found in wheat and related grains, including barley and rye. Gluten gives elasticity to dough, helping it rise and keep its shape and often gives the final product a chewy texture. Gluten is used in cosmetics, hair products, and other dermatological preparations.(According to Wikipedia)
What can you possibly eat, that doesn’t have Gluten in it? There are recipes such as this:

From my personal experience I’ve been feeling healthier since I had converted to pescatarianism. It’s been about almost two years and I’m loving it. If you want to try the experience then just try to go a whole day without eating any meat besides seafood. If you don’t want to try that or are allergic to seafood then you can try meatless Mondays! (Or replace Mondays with whatever day of
The week that you would prefer).

Well there are a couple of tv shows that I would personally recommend if you’re into the supernatural/ fantasy world.
The first show would be Supernatural, hands down; starring the handsome Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. This series has been going on nine seasons strong since 2005, with an upcoming tenth season; that has to count for something right? The gist of this show is about two brothers, who hunt monsters which intertwined with angels, demons and even god. There are a bunch of adventures these brothers go through with every near death fight and little spurs of romance. I would highly recommend this show!
Another show that I would recommend hat revolves around the fantasy life, is Once Upon a Time. This shows brings most known fairy tales to life and connects them all to one back story, which happens to be Snow White. There are many battles that commence between the Evil queen, Rumplestilskin, the witch of oz and many more famous characters. This show has been going on for 2 seasons now, going into its third.
Well those are the two shows that I can think of at the moment, I hope you take my opinion into consideration. 🙂
