Gluten-Free Greenie is changing names and moving host. In a way I really hate to see her go, she has been a good friend to me, but I want to spread my wings a bit.My new blog is titled Wendy Cooks and will be hosted at WordPress.There are many reasons I've decided to make this change. 1. If I host a giveaway on WordPress my readers can give their ...

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.- Neil GaimanI could not have said it better m...

This is just a simple scramble I made this morning, but I used all S.O.L.E. (Sustainable, Organic, Local, Ethical) ingredients. As you probably know by now (unless this is the first post of mine that you are reading), I'm unofficially following the (not so) Urban Hennery's Dark Days Challenge to create a meal a week during the winter using as many...

After I made the pot full of Field Peas for one of the Dark Days Challenge meals I've been making, I had a lot of beans left over and decided to try and make Bean Burgers. (I actually made this on December 22nd, I just forgot to post it.)I actually got started a little late with the Dark Days Challenge, so this can be my make up recipe. : )This m...

I've eaten Against the Grain breads before, but I haven't tried their frozen pizza. (The rolls are great as hamburger buns, but quite expensive; and the baguettes are wonderful too, but also expensive.)I saw the pizza at Earth Fare, but I didn't buy it for quite some time. It cost $10.99 for a 12 inch pizza, and frankly I haven't been very happy ...

Roasted Chicken, Stir Fried Collards, and Baked Blue Sweet Potato FriesAs I've mentioned before, I've unofficially taken on the 4th Annual Dark Days Challenge from the (not so) Urban Hennery.The challenge is to make a meal a week during the winter using S.O.L.E. foods (Sustainable, Organic, Local, and Ethical).This week we got a local Chicken, and ...

I know, I would normally post some wonderful Christmas recipes that I've made myself for a scrumptious Gluten-Free Christmas dinner, but this year we decided to have a very relaxed Christmas and ordered Chinese from PF Chang's Gluten-Free menu. What a wonderful idea that was, especially since I've had a migraine most of the day.It has been a very ...

I've unofficially taken on the 4th Annual Dark Days Challenge from the (not so) Urban Hennery.The challenge is to make a meal a week during the winter using SOLE foods (Sustainable, Organic, Local, and Ethical). This is much more of a challenge during the winter than during the spring and summer when there are lots of fruits and vegetables we can ...

Do you go to a certain restaurant that gives you little packets or containers of sauce that you like (and is gluten-free of course)? I love Pei Wei's Gluten Free Vietnamese Chicken Salad Rolls, but they always give me two containers of sauce and I only use one, so I save one. I looked in my refrigerator drawer the other day and realized I had 9 of...

We found this wonderful little Mexican/El Salvadoran restaurant near us and I discovered Pupusas for the first time. I love these things! They are a little pocket of goodness. It is an El Salvadoran stuffed flat bread. It is served with Curtido, an El Salvadoran type of slaw, with Salsa Roja on top. This salsa isn't the spicy kind of salsa we ...

I saw a challenge on (Not so) Urban Hennery's site. The challenge is called Dark Days Challenge. The Challenge is to create one meal a week from Dec. 1, 2010 - April 15th 2011 that focus on SOLE (Sustainable, Organic, Local, Ethical) ingredients. This is a huge challenge during the winter months, but I'm going to try. I didn't find out about th...

This was one of the easiest meals I've made in a long time, and most of you know, I don't usually make very complicated meals.It was one of those days where we were about 2 days over due for a trip to the grocery store; I looked through the refrigerator and found I had a bunch of baby bok choy, I then searched the freezer and found some Aidells' Ca...

You will have seen some of this in my last post, but a couple of things are changing about the menu, and I thought I'd share everything with you in one place. Not only are we having Turkey Breast, but we are also having a couple of thighs. I haven't been able to find any fresh Brussels Sprouts, but I still really wanted some, so we have put in an...

Yes, I plan to make my entire Thanksgiving Dinner in Slow Cookers. You see I will be having a spinal cord patch the day before Thanksgiving, so this way I can have everything cut up and ready on Tuesday, with detailed instructions for my husband, and we will be able to have a Thanksgiving dinner fit for company.And that's good since we will be hav...

I've decided that I am just posting way too many recipes on my new blog not to share them with all of you who would like to keep getting my recipes, but don't necessarily want to read all about my journey to get healthy.Quinoa Pilaf - photo by W. HolcombeToday I decided to experiment with Quinoa. (keen- wa)I’ve made quinoa before, but just plain an...

I've decided to start a new blog.365 Days to a Healthier Me is a day to day journal about taking control of my life and working to get healthier!This is not a journal about being Gluten Free, however, I'm sure I will be talking about that too.First I will be doing an elimination diet to try and find out what in my diet may be causing my GI problems...

Cooking on Cedar Planks are pretty easy.1. Soak Planks under water for at least one hour. (I soaked mine much longer. I was plan...

www.csnstores.comThe kind people at CSN Stores.com contacted me and asked if I would review a product of theirs. They gave me a $45 gift certificate and let me pick out what ever I wanted.It was a very hard decision, it took me days to narrow down what I wanted the most. Finally, I narrowed it down and asked my husband to pick one. It was betwee...
