Our family just returned from a week long cruise on-board the Disney Fantasy cruise ship and do I have quite a bit of information to share with you over the coming week! We spent seven days in the Eastern Caribbean, stopping by the beautiful islands of St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Disney’s very own private oasis […]
Southwest Grilled Cheese and Bologna Sandwich for National Grilled Cheese Month
posted on April 24, 2012 by
There’s nothing like the call of National Grilled Cheese Month to bring a gluten free blogger out of semi-retirement (a.k.a. Little League baseball season)! I was recently challenged to come up with a grilled cheese sandwich recipe featuring Udi’s gluten free bread and Horizon Organic cheese, and I just couldn’t resist. I know what you’re […]

posted on March 27, 2012 by
If you are new to the gluten free lifestyle, there is a resource that will quickly become your new indispensable best friend…the gluten free guides from Triumph Dining. At least that is how I felt when I ordered their first edition back in 2005. I remember flipping through the pages of the restaurant guide and […]
All About Gluten Free Waffles
posted on March 13, 2012 by
There is a great book out there called Men Are Like Waffles–Women Are Like Spaghetti: Understanding and Delighting in Your Differences (which admittedly I have not read but my husband says is hilarious). Apparently, the book tells us what we already know: that men view most choices and conflicts in terms of “waffle buckets” and […]
All about Gluten Free (Boxed) Cereals
posted on March 1, 2012 by
Nothing brings back fond memories of 1980’s childhood quite like that morning American staple known as “breakfast cereal.” I’m not sure at what point we co-opted the term “cereal” to basically convey a mostly sugar-laced, artificially colored bowl of glutonium, but the word has found its way into the American lexicon…so be it. The […]
Gluten Free Pancakes: Come One, Come All for National Pancake Day!
posted on February 20, 2012 by
Okay, so someone (Erin, you know who you are) told me that it was national pancake day today, thus usurping my gluten free waffle groove! Not being one to disappoint, I dropped everything and went into complete hyper-drive mode, because I KNOW pancakes. I’m still waiting for the “national don’t eat crappy food” day; […]
New Mexican Burrito Bowls, Gluten Free of Course!
posted on February 16, 2012 by
Okay, let me first explain the picture you see above. I know it looks like a big pile of goo covered with melted casein, er, cheese…and to be honest with you, that’s pretty much what it is! The beauty of New Mexican cuisine is that it has developed into a perfect hybrid of traditional Spanish/Mexican […]

I have turned the blog over to my hubby for a post or two, and this is his first entry in our Gluten Free 101 series. Ladies, you might want to print this post and place it in a strategic location in your home! 😉 GF Dad here, sharing some thoughts on keeping it simple […]
Gluten Free 101: “Breakfast in Minute Casserole” (okay, so it’s more like an hour…but who’s counting when there’s cheese and ham involved?)
posted on February 9, 2012 by
Disclaimer: Yes, that would be a Christmas plate you see in the photo above. I’m not the most punctual person in the world. (It ain’t always easy being gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and egg-free…and homeschooling…on top of just being a mom and everything else!). 😉 With the weekend coming up, I thought I would kick off […]
Getting Back to Gluten Free Basics for the month of February and a (very late) Menu Plan
posted on February 6, 2012 by
Sorry my weekly menu plan is going up so late, I was thrown off schedule this weekend by planning for the Gluten Free Super Bowl party I hosted at my house yesterday. I wish I could say I watched some of the game, but a more pressing matter arose when my sister (who was […]
