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
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
Traveling Gluten Free
I love vacations. Taking a break, not worrying about the day to day stuff, just focusing on fun. Then comes meal times. For most families, it’s no big deal, but for those with allergies, meal times out of town become nightmares. At home, I know my local restaurants, I know what I can order and I know the chance I’m … Continue reading
My crazy life!
When I wrote this blog post, back in June, about in.gredients, I never imagined that I’d be moving to Austin, nevermind by Thanksgiving! But, that’s how life goes, bad things happen and good things come of it. We took a two week vacation to Texas (there’s a half written blog post sitting here waiting to be published) and upon our … Continue reading
Finally Friday!
It’s been a dreary week, so much rain that I could so do without. But, perfect weather for a crockpot of chili right?! I don’t have a specific chili recipe, I kind of just toss in whatever I have on hand. I’ve been using the Simply Organic mild chili seasoning pack and it’s great. I love simple dinners on busy … Continue reading
Back to Reality
Vacation is fun. Tiring, but fun. All good things come to an end and we’re trying to get back into the routine of things. It’s so hard. We left two weeks ago, in a rush for a semi-planned vacation to visit family. We actually bumped the planned vacation up about a week due to a death in the family. We … Continue reading
