I've decided to add a weekly post about interesting recipes, ideas, and tips for living well I've come across during the week. Lately I've been more active on Pinterest, and thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites with you. This week has been super hectic. We're moving in just two weeks.

Yes, kasha is gluten free. Kasha is simply roasted buckwheat groats, so there may be differences that are important to chefs,  but none that matter to people who live gluten free. I had to look up the term ‘groats' in order to write this article. I found out that groats are simply kernals (of any

Jeopardy is a fun board game and a great way to learn basic information about the gluten free diet. The format, as you probably know, is for the leader to present a statement that could be the answer to a question. The participants score points by giving the original question. For example: This national organization

When I bake, I bake with love.  Why else would we do it? Well, Ginnybakes feels the same way.  Ginny has created her cookies with love (some of them even have love in the name).  Her cookies are certified organic … Continue reading →

These gluten free bakeries serve California's gluten free community. There are many more of course, but my rather ambitious goal is recommend  gluten free bakeries in all 50 states.

David Lebovitz, one of our favorite food bloggers, came up with this foolproof, gluten-free dessert. He calls it Chocolate Idiot Cake, since any idiot could make it…and only an idiot could screw it up.

I met Dreena through Maggie and Ricki. I must say I am so very grateful! Shortly after Nate was born and I started eating a very heavy plant-based diet. Not completely plant based, mind you. But I could just sense that my body needed lots of fresh, whole foods after giving birth to get itself

My favorite Fathers Day gift was a simple  note announcing that all my children and grand children had been tested for celiac disease. No problems were uncovered, and I am happy about that. But the important thing is that celiac disease is now under control in our family. Looking back on the situation, I am

Teen.  Teenage.  Adolescence.  These are words that strike fear into many parents’ hearts, perhaps especially those with Celiac Disease or Gluten Intolerance.  Most teenagers want desperately to fit in with their peers, and many of them will “cheat” on their … Continue reading →
