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.

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?!

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.

I support 1 in 133 and you should too!
To quote 1in133.org, “In 2007, the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) tasked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to finalize standards for gluten-free labeling. Four years later, the FDA has failed to fulfill that mandate. To the millions of Americans who eat gluten-free food, this inaction is a big deal.” As someone on a gluten free diet, … Continue reading

And hot dog buns, but that’s, for whatever reason, less exciting. Hamburgers! Since going gluten free, there is one food I’ve not been able to … Continue reading
