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 […]
Glutino Chocolate and Yogurt Covered Pretzels
posted on May 1, 2010 by
Yesterday, my shipment of Glutino Chocolate and Yogurt Covered Pretzels arrived! There has been quite a bit of buzz around this new product since the announcement was made in March on Food Biz Daily, so the second I heard they were available for sale on GlutenFree.com, I had to order some. Sam used to love […]
Homemade Coffee Creamer
posted on April 28, 2010 by
We, like many people, went through a tough time when the economy tanked in 2008. Since changes in the stock market can affect our income, I’m sure you can imagine just how tight things became around here! We sought out all sorts of ways to cut costs and a funny thing happened in the process… […]
Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake

So have you heard the news yet? General Mills will be debuting Gluten-Free Bisquick (and a few other items 😉 ) at the Celiac Disease Foundation’s Annual Education Conference and Food Faire in Los Angeles, on May 15, 2010! I am still speechless (shocking, eh? Don’t worry, it won’t last for long. 😀 ) that […]
Tribe All-Natural Hummus
posted on April 25, 2010 by
On a recent trip to Costco, I found a package of Tribe Hummus Snacker Packs and I thought they would be great for tossing into the boy’s Easy Lunchboxes (a great “prepackaged” 100-calorie pack! Just toss in some carrots or other raw veggies and there you have it! 😉 ). A box of 16 individual […]
Canyon Bakehouse Giveaway Winner!
posted on April 23, 2010 by
WOW!!! I am blown away by everyone’s participation in this giveaway! I have such empathy for everyone who REALLY has to travel to find a store with a decent selection of GF foods, I didn’t realize just how lucky I am to live in a city with a Whole Foods, Sunflower Market, Trader Joe’s, Vitamin […]
An Educational Gluten-Free Restaurant Experience
posted on April 22, 2010 by
I think I have made it clear in the past that I do not eat out often, and I really don’t, maybe a couple of times a month, if that. I assume a personal risk each and every time I dine out, as cross-contamination lurks everywhere, despite the best intentions to lower that risk. I […]
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 […]
Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-Free Bread Review (and Sandwich Puzzles!)
posted on April 19, 2010 by
Recently, I was the lucky recipient of some complimentary gluten-free bread products from Canyon Bakehouse, a dedicated gluten-free facility in Loveland, Colorado. All I can say is… YUM! Funny story; the day the Canyon Bakehouse products arrived, I placed them on the counter and waited patiently until Mike and the boys got home from work/school […]
Gluten-Free Reuben Sandwich
posted on April 18, 2010 by
Well, almost. There obviously isn’t any rye bread in this version and I am too lazy to make my own GF Rye-Style bread with added Caraway Seed! I also added a little bit of pastrami in my variation just because I like it. Click this link for a little history on the Reuben Sandwich. I […]
