Just in case you are reading this and are new to the gluten-free diet, I thought I would point out a Halloween treat that is not gluten free but by appearance, you might think that it is. Barley and Rye are not one of the 8 top allergens and are therefore not required to be […]
Gluten Free Artichoke Dip and Some Halloween Fun
posted on November 1, 2009 by
Last night was clearly a successful evening…the children totally “high” on sugar! We always have some friends and family join us for Trick-Or-Treat night, the dad’s get to herd the children along the route to candy paradise and the mom’s get to sit back and enjoy a libation 🙂 But, before the mom’s “checked out,” […]

Found this cute idea in the Taste of Home Halloween Edition. I made my spaghetti with Tinkyada GF Fusilli noodles. The boys had fun with it and ate the spaghetti but scrapped the orange bell pepper…figures!

I love this soup and it is loaded with fiber and iron. My mom made this when I was growing up and now I make it for my own family. Even my very picky 2 year old will eat it… I presume it is the BACON!!  The only thing that comes to mind when I […]

posted on October 19, 2009 by
I got home from Ohio late last night and am ready to get back to business! Traveling GF is quite different by airplane than road tripping with your own food in tow! I have not been on an airplane in several years because the boys have been so small. Some things that I had anticipated […]

Okay, I have A LOT of pent up anxious energy over my 3-D Clone Trooper helmet cake next week!! I know that in the end, it will turn out fine, whether the end product is the actual cake or some really cool cupcakes. However, I REALLY want to make this cake and have it actually […]
