Gluten Free Granola
Gearing up for yet another weekend away from home. I am loving being nearer to our families, especially in times like this, but all of these weekends away are wrecking my gluten free diet. I struggle with what to feed my children in the homes of others where I have to be careful of the cross-contact issue. Eating out constantly … Continue reading
Thank you PF Changs!
I’ve always love PF Chang’s for gluten free dining. They are so knowledgeable and actually have decent stuff on the menu. I was disappointed on my last visit when I learned that the Phillip’s Better Lemon Chicken (my fave!) had been removed from the menu. The gluten free menu has been expanded and favorites have been added back to it. I can’t … Continue reading
Why I despise WalMart, reason #354
It makes me smile when I count up the years it’s been since I’ve shopped Walmart (just over 7 now ). There’s many reasons why I stormed out of there for the final time in October 2004 and today I read an article on Grist.org that totally hit one of those reason. I’ve not been able to put this into … Continue reading
April is Autism Awareness
The CDC released new stats for austism just last week. Austism now affects 1 in 88 children and is five times more common in boys than girls. That is a 78 percent increase since 2002. Is anyone in your life touched by autism? I have several friends with children on the spectrum and, while not having or seeking a diagnosis, … Continue reading
Yummy Burrito Pie!
Having three kids in sports now, I’m finding myself busier and busier. I have many friends that are often posting on Facebook about “freezer cooking” or “once a month cooking”, so I figured why not give it a try. I’m getting a little tired of the same old stuff for dinner (mostly because I didn’t plan ahead and we have … Continue reading
Cure ADD, ADHD and Depression by eliminating gluten?
Sure! I read this article, Recover from ADD, ADHD and depression without drugs, on Natural News by Allison Biggar today and I have to say I completely agree! Going gluten free has done wonders for me in so many ways. I was just commenting to a friend of mine recently about one of my sons. Seven years ago, I didn’t … Continue reading
Why are Twinkies cheaper than Carrots?
It saddens me that it cost so much to have a healthy diet in this country. We do the best we can and I still feel we have too much “junk” food, but we can only afford so much. Add in a food allergy and the cost skyrockets. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some government incentive to eat … Continue reading
Corn and Agent Orange?
Why do we even have to think about stuff like this?! What happened to just letting nature be. I just don’t understand why we need GMO’d anything. Oh yeah, that evil little thing called money. I like reading Natural News, but I also know that things are often blown out of proportion over there. But, in the end, Agent Orange … Continue reading
Gluten Free Sugar Cookies
These are good. I’m not a sugar cookie person, give me some chocolate, but I can not stay away from these. I always hesitate when it comes to gluten free baking, you just never know what you’re going to get. I’ve tried things before that people rave about that tastes like cardboard to me. I picked up a box of … Continue reading
Gluten Free Chicken and Dumplings
Mmmm. Here is a simple recipe for making gluten free Chicken and Dumplings using gluten free pizza crust for the dumpling portion. Now, I remember in the past making Chicken and Dumplings in the crockpot using flour tortillas for the dumplings. It was pretty good and very easy. I’ve contemplated doing the same with some gluten free tortillas, but something … Continue reading
