In other news, gluten-free bread SUCKS. I have gone against my now deeply ingrained difficulty in spending "too much" money on food - especially bread, which I find insanely overpriced, even for the regular stuff - and bought GF bread for $6+ for little teeny tiny half loaves, and I am here to tell you: don't bother. They're awful. So is rice-based pasta; it's just gluey, even if you're careful not to overcook it. Blech.
Quinoa is where it's at when it comes to carb replacement. Loads of protein and very versatile!
