Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Hamburger Buns (and a Giveaway!)
posted on July 18, 2011 by
Isn’t that a pretty hamburger bun? And yes, it’s as soft and moist as you might be imaging it to be. While I couldn’t eat any of the buns from the complimentary package I recently received from Canyon Bakehouse for this review, I know how moist and fluffy they are because I was able to […]

posted on July 17, 2011 by
I have quite a busy week ahead of me, my little one is getting ready to turn 4 (sniff) at the end of this month and I have some gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, refined sugar-free (and synthetic dye-free) Batman cupcakes to try and figure out how to make! Where’s that magic wand when I need it?? […]
Five Star Marinade, Review and Giveaway!
posted on July 12, 2011 by
This year is quickly becoming my year of all things marinades, rubs, sauces and dressings. Growing up, we relied on salt and condensed soup “gravy” to add flavor and moisture to our meats and veggies (which were often dry and/or mushy and therefore required something to help them go down). Sadly, I was fine with […]

I recently received two beautifully wrapped (and complimentary) packages of gluten free Blondies and Pecan Dandys from Ethel’s Edibles to sample and review. Ethel’s Edibles is a gluten free bakery in Michigan, founded by Jill Bommarito and inspired by her grandmother, Ethel (hence the name of the bakery).

posted on July 7, 2011 by
Let me first start off saying that there are some parts of my “job” as a blogger that are just down right difficult to do and the perfect examples are yesterday’s gluten free beer showdown and today’s review of Top Shelf Ultra Premium Cocktail Mixers. Sometimes, ya just gotta take one (or two) for the […]
A Gluten Free Beer Showdown
posted on July 6, 2011 by
Six years ago, when I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I admit that the thought of never enjoying a cold, refreshing beer again did not affect me nearly as much as I imagine it would affect the gluten free guys out there. Still, there was something about being told that I could NEVER have something […]
Weekly Menu Plan – Week of July 4th
posted on July 5, 2011 by
I was so busy prepping for our gluten free 4th of July party yesterday, I forgot to post my menu plan! Well, better later than never, I say! 😀 We had a wonderful time and nothing feels better than knowing all the food at the party is 100% gluten free…no risk for cross contamination and […]
