I’m not a morning person. I feel like you need to know that about me before I ever write another food-related post. If I’m going to make an elaborate omelette or coffee cake, it will probably be on a whim at around 12:45…in the morning. My energy starts to appear around 11 AM (on a […]
Gluten Free for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner – with Udi’s
We’ve been in the gluten-free world for awhile now, with our now-toddler. When she was tiny, we had horrible problems with her being congested and spitting up. But it wasn’t just normal spitup. This was massive amounts. Like, I didn’t know babies actually got that much milk, let alone stored it enough to yak it […]
Gluten Free for BBQs and Gatherings
Cinco de Mayo is fast approaching, signaling the long summer of grilling and getting together with friends. If you or one of your guests are gluten free, though, a BBQ can feel more like a walk through a land mine than a fun night out. Gluten not only permeates the standard hot dogs and hamburgers, […]
Gluten Free Grilled Cheese Pizza Sandwich
Before you write off grilled cheese as only American slices on white bread, think again. I have actually seen entire restaurants dedicated to grilled cheese. If a whole menu can be filled with variants on one sandwich, that sandwich deserves to have a month dedicated to it, and that month is here- National Grilled Cheese […]
Why Go Gluten Free?
As news of another gluten free celebrity breaks, the buzz is all about what it really means to be gluten intolerant. You often hear references to it being a “trend” or an option, but that isn’t always the case. In fact, it usually isn’t a choice. With instances of celiac increasing substantially over the past […]

We’ve got a fantastic crew coming together this week at Udi’s Gluten Free Community to chat about all things Spring in your gluten free and/or whole foods household.

Must-Read Gluten Free Books
Being part of the gluten free community that Udi’s has put together has opened my eyes to what it really means to be gluten free. It’s more than just cutting out an ingredient or two. Your life changes, and many people feel like they are left in the dark and all alone while they do […]
Look Again, It’s Gluten Free Grilled Peanut Butter Sandwiches!
There are some days when all I have time for is a peanut butter sandwich, but all I really want is some decadence. I’ve talked about it in the Gluten Free Community before, but I have to share this new twist on an old sandwich here. Chocolate and peanut butter top the charts of sweet […]
“I Couldn’t Do It Without Them” – Supporting Your Gluten Free Loved Ones
Thanks to UntrainedHousewife’s part in the Udi’s Gluten Free Community, I have been able to read and glean so much about Gluten Free Living that I would have otherwise missed. Even though I am not personally gluten free, my nursling daughter appears to react pretty strongly to wheat, so I am currently GF by default. […]
Kissing Cooking Goodbye? Exploring a Raw Foods Diet
This week’s #homechat is on Raw Foods, so I’ve been digging into what that means to different people and what it might looks like in my family. So many foods are more beneficial to our bodies when they are raw, so it is in our best interest to explore them at the very least. […]
The Importance of Meal Planning for Special Diets
With each of my three children, it seems like my body chemistry and diet has changed. My oldest two couldn’t tolerate dairy well, and I developed rashes suddenly after eating corn with my second. The third came along with a gluten/wheat sensitivity, and I tolerated corn but not citrus. Avoid the Processed-Food Desperation Grab Whatever […]
Gluten Free Desserts Made Easy
The holidays are winding down, and with them goes the onslaught of stuffing and dinner rolls, pastries and pies that plague the gluten-free eater. Still, the winter lies ahead, and who doesn’t love to snuggle by the fire with a delicious dessert? In fact, I don’t think there is a bad time of year for […]
