The Holidays. It’s a stressful time of year for everyone. But, going through the major holidays and being gluten free for the first time can be even more stressful.
So far, I’ve made it through Thanksgiving. All in all it went pretty well. I had a disaster with the pie though. [...]
There were several things that stressed me when the doctor told me I couldn’t eat gluten any more. For one thing I just loved bread. Most of my favorite foods involved gluten in some way. Growing up if you asked what my favorite meal was I would have said fried chicken, green [...]
I won Ginger Lemon Girls Fall Photo contest! She sent me a really nice cookbook book full of gluten free recipes and lots of photographs. I love cookbooks with photos. What a fun idea for a contest! If you haven’t checked out her blog before, do so now! It’s one [...]
Are you sick of turkey yet? Need a quick meal or snack? I learned this quick trick here at Gluten Free Gobsmacked. I love pizza. Especially one with a thin and crispy crust. I never thought to use corn tortillas for the crust until I saw the post over at [...]

Build your salad base with baby spinach leaves. [...]
It’s been almost a week since I last ate out and I’ve really enjoyed just being home all week and cooking. Nothing fancy, just simple meals. I am feeling better. Besides trying to figure out how to live this gluten free life, I have battled some thyroid issues the last nine months. [...]
My younger Glutigirl loves beans. She eats them all the time. The other night she came home from work starving and we had already eaten dinner. With no leftovers in site she managed to come up with her own recipe….beans and quinoa queso.
