posted on December 29, 2010 by
Now, I know many people are not fans of anise, but I encourage you to give this recipe for gluten free biscochitos a try anyway, they are scrumpdillyicious.

Today’s guest post is by my better half, the man “behind the curtain” in this Glutadoodle Oz of ours. Without Mike’s love and support, I never would have been able to go on this 18 month journey of self discovery and seeking out the answers to our family’s health issues. Little did he know 9 […]

Eventually Instant Dairy-Free Mashed Potatoes
posted on November 28, 2010 by
I’ve been making “eventually instant” mashed potatoes for about a year now, ever since I gave up using Potato Buds. I was never one to use boxed potatoes on a regular basis but they did come in handy when time was of the essence. Now, I have my own convenience mashed potatoes to fall back […]
