I love gingerbread, especially when it is warm and topped with Cool Whip!I found this recipe on Recipezaar and made a little adjustment to make it gluten-free. I think this is a recipe that can easily be made dairy-free too, at the bottom of this post I will offer some dairy-free baking substitutes. Gingerbread Cream […]
The Great Brussels Sprouts Caper…
posted on November 9, 2009 by
Perhaps a better title would have been: How to Get Your Kids to Eat their Brussels Sprouts…or not. I don’t know about you, but I hate Brussels Sprouts! Growing up, my mom used to boil them. I can’t imagine a worse preparation for this vegetable. I think it just enhanced the naturally bitter flavor and […]
Pie Crust Maker
posted on November 8, 2009 by
OMG!!! A gluten free baker’s BFF! The Pie Crust Maker! Back in September, when my GIG support group was making GF pies for the NM state fair, a member brought in this gadget and I just about fell over! This is a gluten free baker’s absolute MUST-HAVE! Since GF “doughs” (batter is more fitting in […]
Arrowhead Mills Pour’n Bake Pumpkin Pie
posted on November 8, 2009 by
I found this nifty little product at my local Sunflower Market last week. Arrowhead Mills Pour’n Bake Pumpkin Pie Filling. It comes in an aseptic carton, just like chicken broth but it is about half the size! No aluminum can so hopefully no BPA! I used a Whole Foods GF Frozen Pie Crust for this […]
Roasted Butternut Squash with Herbes de Provence
posted on November 7, 2009 by
I got this recipe from someone very near and dear to my heart. An amazing woman who was like a second mom to me growing up during those crazy teenage years and on into college, when my own family moved to New Mexico and I stayed behind in Ohio to finish my degree at Ohio […]
Taco Burgers
posted on November 6, 2009 by
One of my favorite little fast food places to eat at before going gluten-free was a local place called Bob’s Burgers. Bob’s is famous around here for their taco burgers which are simply a hamburger patty in a corn taco shell (with a bit of hot green chile of course!). 🙂 I do not know […]
Gluten Free Chow Mein Noodles, Take 1
posted on November 5, 2009 by
Okay, so this is a work in progress but I wanted to show that it is possible, I just need to find the right noodle! Sam’s school does a neat little thing every Friday called Friday Fun. On Fridays, they make/cook a snack and at the end of the year the kids will have a […]
Homemade “Nutri-Grain” Bars
posted on November 4, 2009 by
I used to love Nutri-Grain bars, pre-celiac. I miss having something easy to grab for breakfast in the morning, that I actually like. I have tried all the GF cereal bars and while they are okay, they are not the same. I found this recipe and WOW! They taste just like I remember Nutri-Grain bars […]
Halloween Note
posted on November 4, 2009 by
Just in case you are reading this and are new to the gluten-free diet, I thought I would point out a Halloween treat that is not gluten free but by appearance, you might think that it is. Barley and Rye are not one of the 8 top allergens and are therefore not required to be […]

Perky’s Nutty Cereals are now Enjoy Life “Crunchies”! Sam and I love this cereal. I eat the Crunchy Flax cereal for breakfast all the time. 😉 October 20, 2009 SCHILLER PARK, IL, October 20, 2009 – After 25 years of satisfying people’s yearning for an early morning crunchy cereal that is both gluten and nut free, Perky’s […]
