food updates
Over a decade ago I was struggling with my diet. Stomach aches, rocks in my belly, migraines, generally I just didn’t feel well. While I wasn’t officially diagnosed with Celiac disease, the doctor recommended I go on a gluten free diet. Honestly, I felt better, at least for a while. Going gluten free was incredibly… Read more

Flap Jacks, Hot Cakes, Pancakes
Get ’em while they’re hot! We have pancakes nearly every weekend at our house, and sometimes for dinner. The selection of gluten free pancake mixes isn’t always large, depending on where you shop. They can also be quite pricey. A few months ago, I thought I had hit the pancake jackpot. Costco was selling a… Read more

Top it Off
When I was pregnant with Max (my oldest), I developed an aversion to yogurt. Didn’t matter what flavor, yogurt was disgusting, but peach was the worst. My like of yogurt improved after having him, but again dissipated while I was pregnant with Harry. I definitely prefer the thick creamy texture of Greek yogurt. However, at… Read more

Chicken Wild Rice Hot Dish
I’m from Minnesota, so I say hot dish, you might call it a casserole, depending on where you’re from. A hot creamy dish by any other name tastes just as delicious. This recipe is easy to prep ahead of time. You can have it in the fridge. Just pop it in the oven after work.… Read more

Convenience
One of the hardest adjustments when going gluten free is the lack of convenience foods. There are some options, but by-and-large they either are not that great or they cost a small fortune. There are nights when you just don’t feel like cooking and want to throw a frozen pizza in the oven. Or nights where… Read more

If you buy gluten free food, you know what I’m talking about. Below is a list of a few of my favorite gluten free (I-always-have-them-in-the-house) items.… Read more

When you’re gluten free and you need a dish to share for a potluck, or you want a tasty hot hors devours, what do you bring? Well, the frozen meatballs cooked in a delectable sauce is pretty much out. But, what about Kielbasa? Oooh, goodness! I found this recipe while hunting for an Oktoberfest snack to bring… Read more

Enchilada Lasagna Style
Since going GF, I’ve come to realize that corn tortillas are not nearly as pliable as their gluten-laced flour counterparts. That and they are so darn small! Making enchiladas with corn tortillas takes a lot of (rolling) work. So, in a pregnant-lady-starving-hunger-need-to-make-dinner-pronto moment of genius, I decided to make an Enchilada Lasagna so to speak.… Read more

Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
In my pre gluten free days I wasn’t a HUGE sandwich eater, but now and then I enjoyed a good philly cheesesteak or cuban sandwich. For the most part, since being gluten free I don’t really miss eating gluten things, except for the part where eating out is much more difficult and much less exciting.… Read more
