  Gluten-Free Recipes - Baking & Cooking Tips

  21 May 2013 | 4:45 pm

  I bought a pack of Udi's a while back when we were out of town but they don't carry them where we live and it's too far to go get them. I've tried all the brands sold around here and hate them. I bought an electric torilla maker that flattens and cooks them BUT the recipes I've tried are not good at all. I got one recipe from Gluten free on a shoestring and one I found online.   Is it possible to make homemade that taste like the real thing or close?

  Dining out with Celiac Disease can be risky.  It is rare to find an establishment that is 100% gluten-free, so the next best thing is education and preparation.  Knowledge is power, right?  Take some time to check out restaurants that you like or are close to your home, place of employment or are located along your route. Today I am going to focus on Wendy’s.  There are Wendy’s restaurants located across the US, making it a good option for a gluten-free meal.  Wendy’s maintains a frequently updated gluten-free menu on their website.  Additionally, they have a redesigned site that…

  If I am anywhere within a 2-mile radius to Trader Joe’s, I make it a point to swing in to pick up my favorites.  I build this time into my errands and bring along coolers if I am picking up refrigerated or frozen items.  Recently when I was on one such trip, I found these gems waiting for me. Oh yeah! Ingredients: Powdered sugar (cane sugar, cornstarch), cane sugar, unsalted butter, buttermilk (cultured low fat milk, nonfat milk solids, sodium citrate, salt, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D3), water, cream (cream, carraggnan), expeller pressed canola oil, rice flour, eggs, potato starch,…

• Review: Perfectly Simple Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bar

  A little over a year ago ZonePefect debuted a new, gluten-free bar on the market.  The protein bar, certified gluten-free, comes in three different varieties and has a simple ingredient list.  A couple of weeks back I found out some great news…a new bar as been added to the line-up: Oatmeal Chocolate Chip. I found the new Perfectly Simple bars right on the shelf of my local Meijer grocery store, but was lucky enough to get a sample from a running friend.  I love this new flavor!  I think it may be my favorite of all four varieties!  Ingredients: Dates, Soy Protein…

  Gluten-free low sugar whole grain strawberry muffins. With all the recent news about sugar, I've been thinking about muffins. And not just any ordinary, ho-hum, run-of-the-mill, starchy, gluten-free muffins. Nope. A tender, whole grain, lower sugar, vanilla scented muffin that bursts with fresh strawberry flavor. Warm from the oven, these pleasantly grainy breakfast treats are pull-apart soft with juicy bites of strawberry. Sweet- but not too sweet.I used pure maple syrup for the primary sweetener, and a mere two tablespoons of organic brown sugar. And now for the interesting part. I also…

  May is celiac disease awareness month.Living Without Our Daily Breadby Karina AllrichSince the birth of agriculture- when our ancestors began to cultivate and harvest grains- human beings have cherished bread. It was a minor miracle, this almost magical transformation of grain into dough. Bread became the staff of life, a daily source of nourishment, symbolic of spiritual renewal.But what if bread was suddenly poison? What if wheat was toxic, and every bite of a toasted bagel, slice of pizza or forkful of penne inflicted damage to your body?This scenario is a daily reality for those carrying…

As the article states "Just as consumers deserve to know if their food contains gluten, it is critical that consumers know if medications contain gluten." Although we need labeling for both food and medications, let's hope this drug bill passes sooner rather than later! Dem bill would require drugs to disclose gluten - The Hill's Healthwatch

This of course led to a batch of banana bread muffins, an impromptu baking and math lesson for my 6 yr old, and a delicious brunch. I’m sorry there’s not a picture. The muffins were all gone before I even thought of grabbing the camera!

  For several years, we’ve been using Sally’s GF Orange Peel Chicken recipe as one of our go-to recipes when we had a Chinese take-out craving. It’s a very yummy recipe. This week, as we were brainstorming meal ideas on the way to the grocery store, one of us remembered Orange Peel Chicken. Once it was mentioned, we had to have it! But then I went to the recipe and realize that it was not at all Paleo friendly. A half a cup of sugar plus fried chicken just did not need to happen that night. Instead, I came up with a more paleo, primal friendly recipe by replacing the sugar…

So when Balance Bar offered to send me some of their new Balance Bar Dark bars I was pretty psyched. Not only because Balance Bar has been around a long time and has a good reputation, but because this bar has a lot of good in it. First, it's gluten-free, which can be difficult to find in a nutrition/protein bar. Second, the chocolate in it is made with cocoa that's…

• Vegetable & Cream Cheese Quiche with Almond Crust

  28 Mar 2013 | 6:56 am

  Quiche. I always associate it with spring - maybe it's because of the eggs (Easter Egg hunts) or the vegetables (Bye winter! Hello fresh veggies!) or because they're such an "Easter Brunch" friendly food (can be served room temperature). Either way, this quiche, made with an almond flour crust, is something I'll be serving all year long.I've long been a fan of Elana's Pantry; her almond flour and coconut flour recipes are delicious and her cookbooks are gorgeous. I love her philosophy about food and the fact that she uses her grain-free diet as a way to treat her Multiple Sclerosis symptoms.

I believe she got them at Market Basket in Mass; I haven't seen them here (Upstate NY) anywhere yet. You guys - they're awesome!

Unfortunately lime juice does not keep well on long voyages so a Royal Navy Admiral named Gimlette figured out how to preserve the lime juice in gin and the concoction was prescribed daily to the lucky sailors. Now, I am not exactly sure what scurvy is but I am fairly certain that it is not something I want and if I have to drink gin and lime juice to keep from getting it, well so be it. Anyway, a while later a guy named Rose came along and figured out how to preserve lime…

  Last year I wrote a Ten Day Series on Intentional Parenting {link} and in that series I shared some practical ways to be more intentional in our parenting journey. Today I'm sharing six simple ways to teach the idea of living with an intentional heart for kids. It's easy to get distracted in this saturated world of noise and to move through life lulled asleep putting off things to do today until tomorrow. Intentional living, to me, simply means having an awareness that the time we are given is truly a gift - it's a letting go of the mistakes while learning from them, pulling up our bootstraps…

  We love stories of bravery - they are the stories we gather our children together to share, they are the ones that we pass on to our friends, and they're the ones we reference when we're in those moments of life where we feel like we're in the pit of helplessness. Bravery is contagious. It inspires, motivates, encourages, and provides hope in a world that at times feels like too much to bare. Often the bravery comes from those we least expect it to come from. Sometimes bravery develops in the simplest of ways, the humblest of times - in moments of giving of self and in believing in a future…

• Gluten Free: Perception vs Reality

  Gluten Dude

  23 May 2013 | 6:27 am

  I expected a bit of a backlash from taking a stand against The Disney Channel. But when the story was picked up by CBS, The Hollywood Reporter, Huffington Post, Perez Hilton and tons of other media outlets, it lit a match and boy oh boy…have I gotten a backlash. I’ve been called pretty much every name in the book, most of which I can’t print. Though kudos to JB182Dog for coming up with “Gluten Douche”. Insulting, yet oddly comical. Amy, who started the petition on change.org, has taken it even worse. She and her family have been verbally barraged with the most…

• A Shout Out to Bonefish Grill for their Gluten Free Honesty

  22 May 2013 | 4:15 am

  I am heading up to Connecticut soon for some family festivities. On one of the nights, there will be 23 of us going to dinner and the host has selected Bonefish Grill as the venue. Not knowing anything about this restaurant, I got in touch with my best friend to do some research. He goes by the name of Google…you may have heard of him. Low and behold, Bonefish Grill has a gluten-free menu. Here is a blurb taken directly from their website. At Bonefish Grill, you can choose from an entire menu dedicated to gluten-free options. From gluten-free beer and appetizers, to fresh, wood-grilled…

  Score one for the celiac community! After my blog post on Friday regarding the Jessie episode where they bullied a gluten free character, it caused a serious sh*tstorm within our community. So we did what we do best. We stood up for ourselves. We shared across all of our platforms. We tweeted, facebooked (I know…not an actual word) and called Disney. We signed a Petition and generated over 2,000 signatures in a matter of hours. We proved that we are a powerful, passionate community that is not to be taken lightly. And guess what? By the end of the day, Disney agreed to pull the episode…

• Disney Thinks Bullying a Gluten Free Child is Funny

  Gluten Dude

  I get emails all the time from parents who have young children with celiac disease. They pour out their souls out to me, telling me what a hard time their kids are having at school just trying to fit in while being gluten free. They tell me how other kids put bread and other gluten filled items on their plate because they think it’s funny. They tell me how the school will not help protect their children during lunch hours. They tell me how their children come home from school crying. These are children we are talking about. So then why the hell would The Disney Channel produce a show…

  Gluten Dude

  Am I supposed to embrace this? I know some others out there are touting that it’s a good thing Pillsbury has jumped into the gluten-free game. Me? I’m becoming immune to the whole thing. Absolutely immune. It’s Celiac Awareness Month and I’m just at a loss of what to do to…you know…actually raise awareness. When your up against the big boys like General Mills pumping out gluten-free crap to the masses, simply because they know the market is hot, I feel like an ant on a hot summer day, with a mean 8 year old boy, who looks just like the Pillsbury Doughboy,…

    Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and often times, it’s the meal that I eat the most at. I try to eat a larger breakfast and taper down the portion sizes as the day goes on. I have found this not only helps maintain my energy level and blood sugar level, but also my weight. You should always make the time to whip up breakfast in the morning. It’s not as time-consuming as people might think. No excuses – start your day off right with a healthy, gluten-free breakfast.

  Chris and I normally crave barbecue at least once a week. We normally just go out to a local barbecue joint for dinner, but now that we have the new oven (YAY); I can make my favorite baked BBQ chicken at home (no grill required). This recipe is super simple to make. You’ll notice that the first 5 ingredients (plus olive oil), are more of a basic chicken seasoning recipe. Feel free to use that base, and switch out the sauce for something else (ex: Italian Dressing). Voila – you’ll have a whole new meal. See the okra in the picture? Recipe coming soon, and it’s…

  Gluten-Free on a Shoestring

• Gluten Free Sponge Cake

  Nicole

  23 May 2013 | 5:53 am

  Gluten free sponge cake is a light and airy treat that I think of almost like a blank gluten free cake canvas. It has such mild flavor that I can serve it however I like: with or without fruit, with just a big dollop of whipped cream, or with a drizzle of simple syrup. And it’s the perfect end to a big meal on a warm day. Remember that it’s called sponge cake, though! It’s very simple, and anything but a typical, super-moist gluten free cake.Gluten free sponge cake is very similar to gluten free angel food cake, but it makes use of the egg yolks instead of just the whites,…

  This 1 minute, microwave Cinnamon Bun Gluten Free Cake for One has a point to make. Someone (not me) once said (again, not me) that having kids means learning how to hide the good food. I am making these Cake for 1 recipes in the hope that, instead of hiding the good food in the very top cabinet where short people can’t reach, you’ll just hide the good food … in plain sight. This way, you’ll never be more than 5 or 6 minutes away from a tiny little moist, tender and fragrant cinnamon bun cake that is not made for sharing. Before the children even smell what’s…

Now that I have yours, we can talk about how this gluten free pie is a perfect warm weather treat that won’t having you slaving away in the kitchen when you’re trying to enjoy the outdoors, and your lovely guests. Make it ahead, freeze it and then allow it to thaw a bit while you eat, say, a lovely gluten free cold pasta salad.This pie is a (much better) riff on the yogurt pies I used to have as a kid.

  Gluten free chocolate chip cookie dough is an indulgence. No doubt about that. But since it’s been making its way around the web for a while now, I want you to have it within reach. That’s the business I’m in around here (well, I’m all up in your business, too). The art … of the possible. The regular way to make edible cookie dough, according to most, is without eggs. I tried that. I did! And sometimes it didn’t, well, suck. But it never tasted like chocolate chip cookie dough! Now, it does (how-to secrets below). And then after that, it turned into…

• Basic Gluten Free Flour Blend (Xanthan Gum Free)

  Nicole

  17 May 2013 | 4:57 am

  Gluten free flour blends are, really, the most important resource on this entire gluten free blog. A slightly more complex blend of flours (like my Better Than Cup4Cup Blend), including xanthan gum, is essential to success in most of my gluten free recipes. But lately I find myself using a more basic, 3-ingredient flour blend without the benefit of xanthan gum in some recipes, and it’s strangely liberating. Woohoo! I still believe that xanthan gum is a critical component of most gluten free baking, but this basic gluten free flour blend is an important resource, too, in a certain type…

• Recipe - Chilled Cucumber Pear Soup

  13 May 2013 | 9:08 am

  There are a number of benefits to making your own soup. Commercially prepared soups are usually loaded with salt (especially condensed soups), many contain preservatives and who knows the quality of the ingredients used to make it. When you make your own, you get to control all of that: super fresh ingredients, no preservatives, and only as much salt as you want to add.I make a lot of soups in the Winter since Winter vegetables lend themselves quite well to soup (butternut squash, carrot, beet, cauliflower, etc.). In the summer, however, I don't usually want a hot bowl of soup. A chilled…

Short answer, yes, it is that easy.I came across some organic whipping cream from Organic Meadow that just happened to be on sale, which I used to make the butter in these photos. I used my +Kitchenaid Stand Mixer for this, but you could easily do this with a handheld mixer, as you don't need a really high speed to get the job done.Butter has been quite expensive lately, organic butter even more so.

  6 May 2013 | 5:42 pm

  I'll be the first to admit I don't love citrus fruit. Outside of using lemon and lime juice in various dishes, you'd rarely see me eating an orange or a grapefruit. I've never really liked the taste of raw citrus fruits. But as with everything, there's one exception - blood oranges. I don't know what it is that sets them apart with my taste buds; maybe it's their ruby red colour or their sweet/sour/bitter all-at-once flavour. Whatever it is, I love them. The blood orange season in North America is quite short and generally runs from December to March. I usually find them at grocery stores…

  The paleo diet has surged in popularity. I'll never acknowledge any specific diet as "the best" diet, as in my opinion, the best diet is the one that's tailored to you and your unique biochemistry. We're all different and in my experience, we all have foods that don't agree with us, regardless of whether or not they're considered "healthy." That said, there's much I like about the paleo diet, most importantly, the no grain aspect. People are far too hooked on grains, especially wheat. And, although not a grain, potatoes seem to be far too prominent in many people's diets. There's nothing…

A bowl of tree-ripened papaya (pure heaven) alongside farm-fresh scrambled eggs with tomato and a little garlic. And a cup of fresh brewed Colombian coffee :) served by one of the nicest women I've ever met. I'm not a morning person, but those breakfasts were a great motivation to…
