We, like many people, went through a tough time when the economy tanked in 2008. Since changes in the stock market can affect our income, I’m sure you can imagine just how tight things became around here! We sought out all sorts of ways to cut costs and a funny thing happened in the process… […]

Homemade Limeade Concentrate
posted on April 27, 2010 by
I love Limeade, especially during the hot summer months. I find it to be even more refreshing than Lemonade or water for that matter. 😀 While I have been learning to reach for water first, or even sparkling water with a spritz of freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice (no added sweetener), I still enjoy […]

So have you heard the news yet? General Mills will be debuting Gluten-Free Bisquick (and a few other items 😉 ) at the Celiac Disease Foundation’s Annual Education Conference and Food Faire in Los Angeles, on May 15, 2010!

Tribe All-Natural Hummus
posted on April 25, 2010 by
On a recent trip to Costco, I found a package of Tribe Hummus Snacker Packs and I thought they would be great for tossing into the boy’s Easy Lunchboxes (a great “prepackaged” 100-calorie pack! Just toss in some carrots or other raw veggies and there you have it! 😉 ). A box of 16 individual […]

An Educational Gluten-Free Restaurant Experience
posted on April 22, 2010 by
I think I have made it clear in the past that I do not eat out often, and I really don’t, maybe a couple of times a month, if that. I assume a personal risk each and every time I dine out, as cross-contamination lurks everywhere, despite the best intentions to lower that risk. I […]
Steamed Artichokes with a Lemon Butter Dipping Sauce
posted on April 21, 2010 by
So, a couple of weeks ago I got a recipe in my email inbox from another one of my favorite new blogs, “Snack Girl.” I LOVE Lisa’s blog and encourage you to check it out! It is not a gluten-free blog, but many of her recipes are easily adaptable to be gluten-free. She also does […]
