Gluten-free mozzarella cheese sticks, who’da thunk it? YES! Heck, even in my former gluten-life, I could not make a cheese stick. I could make a mean hollow tube of fried bread crumbs mind you, but somehow, the cheese always managed to escape! Has this ever happened to you? You roll your cheese stick in bread […]
Gluten Free Pizza Rolls and Toasted Ravioli
posted on September 16, 2010 by
Okay, here it is! This is so exciting for me, I never imagined being able to enjoy toasted ravioli again. Not only is the toasted ravioli in the above photo gluten-free, but it is also allergy-friendly too! This post is now linked to a great series that the lovely Jenn (a chemist!) over at Jenn […]
Dill Dip with Raw Veggies
posted on August 26, 2010 by
The past two days have been a bit of a roller coaster ride for me as I’ve been preparing to set Luke up with a safe environment at preschool. Preschool is a dietary-restricted parent’s worst nightmare! Gluten and food allergens are EVERYWHERE and not just in the popular processed kid fare department (have I told […]
Summer of Easy Gourmet Entertaining with Chavrie Goat Cheese
posted on August 16, 2010 by
I love goat cheese. Its creamy texture and tangy mouth-feel is the perfect complement for a variety of appetizers, grilled meats, salads and desserts. Goat cheese pairs perfectly with beets, raspberries and strawberries. In fact, this has been one of my favorite ways to enjoy Chavrie® goat cheese this summer (I am in my infancy […]
Homemade Gelatin-Free “Jello” Oranges and Fruit Cups
posted on August 16, 2010 by
My youngest son loves “jelly” cups (a.k.a. Jello/Gelatin), but when we started a synthetic dye-free challenge a few months ago, out went the Jello brand gelatin cups! I tried a product by the NutraDrink company called Natural Jel Desserts back in May (see my “Funny Oranges post”) and while I was initially impressed with the […]
Funny Oranges
posted on May 4, 2010 by
After I got the Breville Citrus Press and started making fresh squeezed orange juice each morning, I found myself knee deep in orange peels. Instead of throwing them all away, I wondered if I could use some of them for a fun lunchbox treat. I remembered seeing a recipe for Gelatin Oranges on Disney’s Family […]
Steamed Artichokes with a Lemon Butter Dipping Sauce
posted on April 21, 2010 by
So, a couple of weeks ago I got a recipe in my email inbox from another one of my favorite new blogs, “Snack Girl.” I LOVE Lisa’s blog and encourage you to check it out! It is not a gluten-free blog, but many of her recipes are easily adaptable to be gluten-free. She also does […]
Soothing Lettuce Wraps, P.F. Chang’s Style (gluten-free, corn-free, dairy-free, egg-free and soy-free)
posted on March 10, 2010 by
Has anyone been to P.F. Chang’s yet to try their new gluten-free menu? I haven’t been yet, it’s a little tough during the school week but will be going soon! Sam and I are going to have a mommy/son “date” on Friday (no school) and go to P.F. Chang’s for lunch (then to see […]
Gluten-Free “Dude Food” (a.k.a. Concession Stand Nachos)
posted on March 1, 2010 by
I realize that the Super Bowl is long gone by now, but gluten-free “dude food” is always in demand since apparently there is a game of “something” on every single day of the year (I actually caught my husband watching Ping Pong the other day). Sports are a way of life around here… so much […]
Gluten-Free Chex Mix
posted on February 24, 2010 by
I realize this is probably a no-brainer, but it actually just dawned on me not too long ago when Sam needed some Chex Mix for his “Friday Fun Snack,” that I could make my own gluten-free version! So just in case it has not occurred to someone else, I thought I would post the recipe […]
