Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Healthy Twist

This is a recipe from the Deceptively Delicious cookbook by Jessica Seinfeld. There are some really great recipes in this cookbook that can be easily tweaked to be gluten free. I have an exceptionally picky 2 year old and even he loves these cookies. They have chickpeas (a.k.a. garbanzo beans) in them and I promise, […]

Gluten-Free Sage Dressing

  This recipe hails from my Grandma Schmidt in Austin, Minnesota.   It is one of my favorite family recipes. I have very fond memories of making this dressing every Thanksgiving with my dad.  Traditionally, we always stuffed the bird which apparently is not a very safe way of cooking it…but it always came out very […]

Homemade "Reames" Egg Noodles and "Bob Evans" Style Chicken and Noodles

Have you ever eaten at Bob Evan’s Restaurants?  I used to eat there all the time as a kid in Ohio.  I ALWAYS got the very same thing each time: Chicken-N-Noodles!  A crock of thick home-style egg noodles with slow-roasted chicken and vegetables in a rich and creamy broth. Yum.  A perfect autumn meal, especially […]

Super Size Me

I know this movie has been out for several years but truth be told, I do not think I have seen a single movie in 6 years that wasn’t animated!  Mike and I watched it this weekend for the first time and I am still nauseous.  So, in the spirit of Celiac Awareness month…  this […]

Indigo Crow Cafe

Last night Mike and I went out to dinner with some close friends to a magnificent restaurant, Indigo Crow Cafe, in the quaint little village of Corrales, NM. I cannot believe that I had never been before! From start to finish, it was an amazing experience. I called yesterday afternoon and spoke with Don Raber, […]

Gluten-Free Choice Batter

I just got an email from my GIG support group about a new product and I thought I would share the info! I have not tried this product so I cannot do a review for you. What peaks my interest is the “Low Oil-Absorbing Recipe.” If anyone has tried it, please let me know what […]

Tom’s Bugles

Remember Bugles?  The cone shaped corn snack?  The little chips that were so much fun to put on the tips of your fingers and pretend like they were a witch’s fingernails?  Okay, maybe that was just me. 🙂   Tom’s Bugles, which I found at my local gas station a while back, are Gluten Free! The […]

Star Wars Birthday Party – Pool Noodle Light Sabers

Okay, I have A LOT of pent up anxious energy over my 3-D Clone Trooper helmet cake next week!!  I know that in the end, it will turn out fine, whether the end product is the actual cake or some really cool cupcakes. However, I REALLY want to make this cake and have it actually […]

Udi’s Gluten Free Bread Review

I think for celiacs this is as huge as the parting of the Red Sea! I have been blogging about Udi’s for a few months now.  I think I called their gluten-free bread something like…  oh yeah, the “Holy Grail” of the gluten free world.  I’m not joking either! The sandwich bread is moist and […]
