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 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

I picked up a box of … 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

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

Gluten Free Rice A Roni

Ah, the memories of that blue box. “Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat!” That was my favorite part of dinner growing up and even into adulthood. Then along came the idea to eat healthier which was soon followed by that ugly little thing I call Gluten Intolerance. Getting tired of plain rice, or even plain rice jazzed with a little chicken … Continue reading
