I first went gfree in 2004. I read a lot of labels that year. It is amazing what items they slide B.R.O.W. [barley, rye, oats, & wheat] into. Not that I ever ate a lot of packaged foods to begin with, however there are simple things that I used to use that are contaminated, such as: energy bars, soy sauce, tea, etc
Now, it is not a big deal because I have replaced the old items with new GF ones.
I put …

My grandmother, born and raised in Alabama, made the best southern food while I was growing up. While she was living in East Chicago, she owned a small restaurant that served biscuits and gravy, chicken & dumplin’s, SOS, BBQ, & the like. Many of these things that I miss being gluten-free. But I do love me some southern food. I found a gem for southern food in Denver: Whole Foods in Denver [Hampden & Tamarac]. I was introduced to the …

I am always looking for inspiration in the kitchen. You would not believe how much pizza I have eaten in the past 4 months. I would like to go on record to say that I have eaten our gluten free pizza crust almost every day for lunch since January 1, 2010. I have lost 14 pounds too! I believe it is because the pizza is whole grain and nutrient dense. [I have been gf for about 6 years]

My oldest sister, Lisa, recently broke her leg skiing at Eldora. So, my other sister, Phanie, and I have been taking turns taking care of Lisa and her 2 children, while she heals.
Phanie’s husband has been making waffles for the kids on the week days to motivate them out of bed. The kids love the waffles! Then it was my turn to get them ready for school. I wasn’t sure if I could compete with Nathan’s waffles. I came up …

I PROMISE you won’t miss the wheat in this recipe! No one can ever tell when I make these to bring to a brunch that they do not have wheat flour in them. In fact, my friend has owned a bakery for 25 years and is very pro-gluten. He tried our banana muffin and said he would have never known the difference had we not told him. Now that is a testimonial!
Finally, a whole grain, gluten free flour that is …

I grew up in a small town in south Jersey that had a non-existent Jewish population and, therefore, no Jewish deli. Every Sunday, my father would get up at the crack of dawn and make the trip into Philadelphia to go to Famous Delicatessen. He would bring back bagels, lox, whitefish salad, pickles, and creamed cheese. Upon his return, my dad would walk down the bedroom hallway and declare that, “breakfast is served!”. He would open the curtains in each …

Gluten Free Cranberry & Oat Muffins: Our team has been discussing the launch of our GF Bistro Blend Flour, because there is no whole wheat flour substitute available. Our Bistro Blend Flour blend reminds me of whole wheat. I used to love the taste and texture of whole wheat flour. The slightly sweet and nutty flavor of the grain is dear to me. It reminds me of when I was growing up.
My mother, Mary Ann, was an RN, my father …

When I was fifteen years old, my father suffered a heart attack. This was my trigger for the storm at bay: celiac disease. From this point forward, I had chronic stomach pain.
I recently reconnected with a friend from high school after almost 20 years, thanks to facebook. She said that she remembered that in French class, I would be buckled over in pain and would need to leave to go home on a regular basis. I went to many doctors …
