I’ve shared before how much I enjoy Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery gluten-free products and appreciate all they do for the gluten-free community. So I was very pleased and very excited when Rudi’s gave me more reasons to be a fan with their “Happy Camper" contest being held this month in honor of National Celiac Awareness Month. (Visit my blog for the f...

These Roasted Black Bean Sweet Potato Cakes melt in your mouth and are crunchy at the same time. They are wonderful either as a side dish or an entrée.

Here are a few of the gluten free bakeries available in Arizona. Not all of them use the term ‘dedicated facility' but none of them mention any products that are not totally gluten free. I've added this list to my "Gluten Free Bakeries" power page, which will eventually cover the entire nation. ? Gluten Free

While most of the country is celebrating Memorial Day, Joe and I will be packing boxes. We're moving next week so life is kind of hectic right now. Nate is fascinated with all the boxes, tape, and packing supplies. He likes to pull things out of the boxes faster than I can get them in.

I am so glad that I found this site. The information and posts that I have read are so inspiring and so relevent to what I have gone through most of my

My friend Nancy recently made a broccoli slaw for our monthly card game.  I enjoyed it and decided to pick up package of broccoli slaw at the store.  I've realized recently that I don’t post vegetable recipes very often.  The truth is, the way I prepare and serve vegetables is usually so simple that I don’t The post Broccoli Slaw appeared first on ...

Costco is a wonderful source of gluten free food. However, their website features features only nine ‘safe' items, and those items would only be of interest to people who were buying in extremely large quantities. You will probably be interested in this two-part article written by an customer who lives gluten free. The escellent photographs...

I've decided to add a weekly post about interesting recipes, ideas, and tips for living well I've come across during the week.

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

“You won’t believe it.  The grocery store down the street has gluten-free fish sticks on sale.”  It must have been about 7 years ago I received this strange phone call from my sister-in-law.  I didn’t even know there were such … Continue reading →

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

With all the bombings, threats, nuclear accidents, pandemic scares, crazy weather etc., I think it is wise to have a disaster plan in place. You will need enough potable water (for drinking and making food) to last at least 72 hours, but you will also want enough water to flush the toilet, wash dishes, wash […]
