Gluten-Free Baguettes
posted on October 25, 2009 by
I found this recipe in the October/November 2008 issue of Living Without Magazine. I made the bread for a dinner party and let everyone else taste test while I hid in the kitchen bracing myself for another gluten-free bread baking disappointment! Imagine my surprise when the “glutenators” started saying how good the bread was, even […]
2009 Gluten-Free Allergen-Free Halloween Candy Lists
posted on October 24, 2009 by
I cannot believe Trick-or-Treat is already here! This will be my first year checking out the loot bag for gluten-containing candy in addition to the usual precautions, so I am getting my lists printed out now because my husband will inevitably need to take a copy (as well as a flashlight) along route as my […]

posted on October 23, 2009 by
On my last night in Columbus, my buddy Jeff and I went to Meijer’s searching for some GF food to make for dinner. The following are my purchases. We made the pizza and chicken fingers that night and I took the other items home for my boys to try. Product Info: Gluten Free & Fabulous […]
Hearty Bean Soup
posted on October 22, 2009 by
I love this soup and it is loaded with fiber and iron. My mom made this when I was growing up and now I make it for my own family. Even my very picky 2 year old will eat it… I presume it is the BACON!! The only thing that comes to mind when I […]
What is a Part Per Million Anyway?
posted on October 21, 2009 by
When I was first diagnosed with CD in May of 2005, the Codex Alimentarius standard for “gluten-free” was 200 ppm (ppm stands for Parts Per Million). It is now 20 ppm. I even read on Celiac.com that at one point (article was written in 2000), anything lower than 500 ppm was considered “safe.” As you […]
Immune System Link In Celiac Disease, Bone Loss
posted on October 20, 2009 by
I want to share an article about celiac disease and osteoporosis. This reminded me of a story told to me by the dietitian I saw while pregnant with Luke. My dietitian’s husband had recently been diagnosed with celiac disease too. Her husband’s hidden celiac disease was discovered after he had been lifting heavy materials one […]
Airline Travel: Be Prepared with Gluten Free Snacks
posted on October 19, 2009 by
I got home from Ohio late last night and am ready to get back to business! Traveling GF is quite different by airplane than road tripping with your own food in tow! I have not been on an airplane in several years because the boys have been so small. Some things that I had anticipated […]
Having Fun in Columbus, Ohio
posted on October 17, 2009 by
I think I have gained 100 pounds since I arrived in Columbus 2 days ago. I feel like Violet Beauregard, the blueberry girl from the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! I am having a great time trying new restaurants but it is so COLD and wet outside, I can’t walk it off… well, […]
Bread and Butter Pickles
posted on October 15, 2009 by
I have been meaning to make this post since July but better late than never right?? I made homemade pickles for the first time this summer and I had so much fun! The end flavor was the perfect blend of vinegar, sugar and spice. The texture of the pickled cucumbers were light and crunchy. The […]
