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
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
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
FDA is moving forward with gluten free labeling standards!
Great article on celiac and gluten intolerance from CBS News. (CBS News) Gluten-free food has become popular and profitable — but sometimes products labeled “gluten free” — aren’t. Now, the Food and Drug Administration is preparing strict new standards – and that’s a relief for people who are allergic to gluten. CBS News correspondent Elaine Quijano reported Jennifer … Continue reading
California Pizza Kitchen debuts Gluten Free pizza!
If the headline alone isn’t enough to make you smile, maybe this will- there is NO extra charge for gluten free crust! Yes, I am jumping up and down over that alone. According to Gluten Freeville, the crust is a bit flavorless, but we can deal. It is available for 29 of their pizzas. The gluten free crusts contain rice … Continue reading
Squidbalm makes GREAT products!
Wow. Just wow. I have been trying to sit down and write a review for some Squidbalm products for over a week now. I’ve been so excited and I’ve wanted to share these great products, but as usual, life gets in the way. Squidbalm was created by a mom in need. That’s how most great products originate, when you can’t find … 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
