Do you ever feel like you have to forgo almost everything that looks delicious because of your very limited diet? If you’re like me, you may look longingly at a thick piece of chocolate cake at the grocery store and wish you could eat it. Well, now you can. Thanks to my friend Penelope at…
Do you miss the breading you used to enjoy on your chicken before you went gluten-free? Have you been avoiding recipes for gluten-free breaded dishes because you don’t think they will turn out? I’ve had my shared of flops when trying out breading. But I have also discovered some things that work great. And once…
There is something so wonderful about going to the Farmer’s market and looking at all the beautiful, home-grown produce, herbs, plants and flowers for sale. If you can’t have your own garden, I think this is the closest you can get to incredibly fresh and beautiful food. A couple of weeks ago when I went…
I talked with Diane Eblin today from The Whole Gang. We had a great little chat and had some laughs about the discoveries we make in the kitchen. We both agreed it takes a little adventure to delve into cooking some unknown or unusual foods. But I think we would agree that this is where…
Pecan Crusted Amaranth Bread, Grain and Egg-free But what if it doesn’t turn out?

But maybe that is why I’m writing about it now. A little reminder…

It’s been quite a while since I last posted a menu planner; the holidays were very busy and my husband and I were both sick twice and our son once. I also had a few occasions of being “glutened” either because of cross-contamination, not being careful enough in a restaurant or not reading ingredients lists…
If you have food allergies, celiac disease or any other condition, which requires that you limit or restrict your intake of certain foods, it is usually a process to accept and embrace your new lifestyle. Even if you have been following your diet for a while, it can continue to be a challenge to figure…
To balance out my last post, I am now writing about the gluten-free chocolate cupcakes that I talked about. They really turned out great so I want to share the recipe. I used goat yogurt in them, but you can easily replace this with a non-dairy milk. They are also egg-free and maple syrup sweetened! …
