My entry into Thailand, though easy and thrilling, came with some huge food difficulties. Being gluten intolerant, I knew that I was going to have to be really mindful of what I ate, and ask questions about what I was eating. Man, did it turn out to be harder than I expected! At one point […]
The Sunday Slow: The Lows Of Celiacs
Its pretty safe to say that if I’m not writing here every other day, that I’m either insanely busy or in the throws of my own conflictual drama with food and gluten. The later is usually truer then the former. I was away from home a week ago and ever since those odd yet familiar […]
Homemade Tortilla Chips
A while back I shared that as a gluten free Celiac girl, I was beginning to bring my own gluten free bread, tamari sauce and salad dressings to restaurants. Its what you have to do if you want to insure remaining gluten free as much as possible. Well, last night, Jon and I went to […]
Baked Apples And Ice Cream
We really don’t tend to be dessert people in this house. On occasion Jon and I will have a small bowl of vanilla ice cream – his with chocolate on top and mine with a sprinkle of cinnamon. But thats generally it. After dinner, we simply don’t have dessert. In my quest to find gluten […]

Gluten Free Bread Loaf
Bob’s Red Mill Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix is now a total staple in my pantry. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve tried quite the variety of pre-baked gluten free bread loaves from the market as well as mixes. None of them were remotely as good as Bob’s Red Mill mixes. The bread is soft, moist, and […]
Gluten Free Pizza and Chickpea Feta Salad
For me, Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix is the best thing since sliced bread! Pizza was one of the things I desperately hated denying myself when I first found out I was gluten intolerant. Can you imagine a life without pizza?! Clearly, this was long before I knew of all the gluten […]
The Gluten Free Super Bowl Survival Guide
Its Super Bowl weekend. For people with gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease it can be a nightmare as party invitations start rolling in. The truth is I’m not a sports follower at all, and I just don’t get the hype really. But I do get the fun in getting together with friends. Around these parts […]
