Yesterday morning I had a craving for something “oaty.” I can tolerate oat flour (certified gluten free oat flour, just like we need our oats to be certified gluten free) far better than I can tolerate oats themselves, so I indulge in something "oaty" from time to time. I thought of making one of my (Visit my blog for the full post, complete with a...

I’m back from the Mississauga and Toronto areas of Ontario after speaking at the Canadian Celiac Association conference on Saturday. What a terrific experience that event was! The Halton Peel chapter of the CCA hosted the event. President Marilyn Mahnke, her organization, and all who made the conference happen really did an outstanding job! I (Visi...

Today I get to share all the entries for this month’s Go Ahead Honey It’s Gluten Free event—woohoo! Okay, being me, I was going to do “brief” write-ups for every post, and I started out doing that, but quickly abandoned that. They would have taken far too long for me to write and far too (Visit my blog for the full post, complete with any rec...

It’s every food blogger’s hope—and any good cook’s as well—that if they make a variation of one of their standby recipes, they’ll end up creating something even better. Happily, that is very much the case with these Tender Corny Almond Muffins. These honey and corn kernel-sweetened almond muffins made me want to skip down the (Visit my blog for the...

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.

I don’t know about you, but I think that chocolate milkshakes are one of the very best things in the world! This gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free milkshake was the result of throwing together very ripe bananas and some leftover coconut milk (both of which I wanted to use right away) plus a few more ingredients (Visit my blog for the full...

Today I have the honor of sharing another personal story with you. This one comes from Vicky Rockcliffe, author of the terrific blog Gluten Free SCD and Veggie. I don’t remember how Vicky and I “met” originally. It was probably on a mutual friend’s blog, but it’s been almost 2 years since Vicky first left (Visit my blog for the full post, complete ...

Super Orange Smoothie. That sounds and looks fun, doesn’t it? And delicious. And healthy. You see I’ve been collecting orange things this past week. In my refrigerator. First there was half of a Cara Cara orange. I had purchased the single orange to create a recipe, one I can’t even remember now. Instead, the orange (Visit my blog for the full post...

I’ve been seeking comfort food this week. Surprisingly, it came in the form of this very simple and healthy Roasted Veggie Soup. I’m recovering from an eye injury and like so many of you also experiencing the sorrow of so many tragic world events. There are never any words to adequately express the horror and (Visit my blog for the full post, compl...

Ann McCormack attended one of my support group meetings about a year ago (and hopes to return to our group!).

In mid-December of 2011, I received an email from a new reader, Angela Sommers. Angela had recently been diagnosed as gluten intolerant. She wanted to know how to get started living gluten free. I immediately sent Angela a link to my Getting Started page (which has several printable tip sheets, like 50 Things You Can (Visit my blog for the full pos...

Have you ever turned leftovers from a fruit tray into a delightful smoothie? A Fruit Tray Smoothie. Hmmm, that name really doesn’t have much emotional appeal, but it is descriptive. You can call this fruit smoothie whatever you like to get yourself or your whole crew excited. Six-Fruit Smoothie. Seven-Fruit Smoothie. (Whatever is appropriate.) Ever...

Despite being a pie fanatic, I have missed celebrating Pi Day every single year since starting this blog. No longer! Well, I’m barely getting in my post on time. Truthfully, I got a little sidetracked with two other things (here and here) in the gluten-free special diet world today. We've chatted about them quite a (Visit my blog for the full post,...

Yes, that’s a mouthful, but it’s a really good one … believe me! I hesitated over sharing this Bloody Mary-Sweet Potato-Cabbage “Noodle”-Bean-and-Veggie Soup because it is not totally made from scratch as most of my soups are. This soup was actually made using Bloody Mary mix. I always buy Bloody Mary mix for our Valentine’s (Visit my blog for the ...

It seems that this past Friday was National Pig Day. I never quite hit these food holidays right even when they relate to a food we love. And we love pork, as evidenced by gfe recipes like The World’s Easiest and Most Delicious Pulled Pork and Pork Tenderloin with Maple Glaze. I was close to celebrating (Visit my blog for the full post, complete wi...

It’s that time of year when they’re everywhere. Girl scouts. Super cute Girl Scouts wearing big smiles and selling Girl Scout cookies. Gluten-full Girl Scout cookies. As you probably know, ready-made gluten-free Girl Scout cookies don’t exist. But no worries, if you lament your gluten-free status each year this time simply because of said gluten-fu...

Today’s final Suite of Sweets for Sweethearts entry, Crustless Fudge Pie, is a bit of a “cheat” of sorts as it is not really one of my new recipes.

I shared a photo of these Chocolate Bombs on my personal Facebook page a few weeks ago and everyone just about pleaded for the recipe even though I had said up front that I would not be sharing the recipe until my Suite of Sweets for Sweethearts event.

One of the most popular recipes on gfe is my Easy Crustless Apple Pie. The “Crustless” description refers to the lack of a traditional crust as this pie has a “pour over” crust that forms a bottom and top crust. It’s a stellar recipe. Honestly, I never even liked apple pie before making that recipe. (Visit my blog for the full post, complete with a...

Almond Board of California Products I’m an almond lover, so it was such a treat (literally!) to receive an email from the Almond Board of California sharing some of the winners of their recent Nutrition Pros Know Best Almond Challenge. I was even more delighted when I discovered that one of the almond-based recipes that they shared with me was from...

Today is National Peanut Butter Day, so I thought I’d do a roundup of the peanut butter recipes shared here previously on gfe. Now don’t dismay if you can’t eat peanut butter, every one of these recipes can be made with almond butter or sun butter instead. You can probably even use other nut butters. Just FYI, making your own nut butter does not ha...

Granola Cluster Cookies Bites (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and More Free) Somewhere I read that today was National Granola or National Granola Bar day. Ah, the power of suggestion.

Baking with Quinoa by Alyssa Rimmer (Queen of Quinoa) E-cookbooks continue to gain popularity. They give you instant access to great recipes and are much more portable than most printed cookbooks.

Gluten-Free Baking for the Holidays by Jeanne Sauvage What says Christmas and the holidays more than Pressed Butter Cookies, aka Spritz Cookies? Not much in my opinion.

MadeOn Bee Silk Hard Lotion I’m one of those rare folks who use very few skin care products. The ones that I do use are single ingredient products or contain very few ingredients. And those ingredients are not chemicals, so there’s no need to decipher unpronounceable terms and determine if such ingredients are gluten free or not. I am often contact...

“I get by with a little help from my friends.” Yes, that’s a line from the famous song that John Lennon and Paul McCartney penned in their Beatles days. I love that song. Just thinking about the song and the words make me happy, and I can’t help but sing along whenever I hear it. It has such simple lyrics (like many Beatles tunes), but yet shares a...
