Boar’s Head Lower Sodium Challenge and Giveaway!
posted on August 2, 2010 by
I love Boar’s Head brand deli meats and cheeses, in fact, it is the only brand of deli meat I buy for my family anymore. I primarily buy the low sodium turkey breast (at 2 pounds a week!) but we also like to indulge in the low sodium ham and roast beef on occasion. I […]
Shredded Beet Salad with Fresh Raspberry Vinaigrette
posted on July 28, 2010 by
I am not an intuitive cook, nor did I grow up in the kitchen with my mom (thus learning how to cook). My mom did not enjoy being in the kitchen and only did so because, well, we had to eat something. I really don’t know where I developed a passion for food, but from […]
Gluten-Free Cherry Clafoutis
posted on July 25, 2010 by
I love cherries; they are the perfect fruit for me. The perfect balance of sweet and tart. The plump and juicy flesh of this stone fruit takes me back to a much simpler time, when I could spend the hot summer afternoon in my parents’ backyard with a bowl of fresh cherries and eat them […]
Enterolab Gluten Sensitivity and Gene Panel
posted on July 23, 2010 by
I thought I would share the results from Luke’s recent gluten sensitivity and gene panel test that I ordered through Enterolab. I realize there is some debate on the validity of these tests since Dr. Fine’s research hasn’t undergone the peer review process. Either which way, I think it is a useful tool that can […]
Celiac Disease and Fertility/Reproductive Health Issues
posted on July 22, 2010 by
Over the past weekend, I found myself in a social setting with several obstetricians and I thought it would be a great opportunity to talk about celiac disease. Parties are wonderful for launching conversation about gluten sensitivity because it is pretty darn obvious that something is different when you show up with your own gluten-free […]
Gluten Free Bisquick Review
posted on July 20, 2010 by
If it says anything about how much the gluten-free community has been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Gluten-Free Bisquick, I have a funny story to tell. When my local GIG group sent out a blast email saying that GF Bisquick had been “spotted” in Albuquerque, I dropped everything I was doing (including the cookies that […]

Pranzo Italian Grill, A Gluten-Free Experience
posted on July 18, 2010 by
A few weeks ago, I gathered my brood for a day of fun and adventure in Santa Fe, NM. We boarded the New Mexico RailRunner Express for the first time and the boys had a lot of fun riding the train from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. I never realized just how blue the sky could […]
