About the Author
In addition to celiac, I also have 17 food allergies. And I'm deathly allergic to peanuts, can't even be near someone who just ate a peanut-y stack or I could end up in the ER.I'm still learning how to live and eat well despite a very restricted diet, which (due to my peanut allergy) also means a restricted life.

“This is my invariable advice to people: Learn how to cook- try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun!”
~ Julia Child, My Life in France“The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude.”
~Julia Child“...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.”
~Julia Child, My Life in France"Those who forget the pasta are condemned to reheat it."
~Author Unknown"After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual 'food' out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 40 postage stamps." ~Miss Piggy

Gluten-Free Find: Clam Chowder
I’m trying to focus primarily on learning to cook gluten-free food from scratch this year, but sometimes it’s so nice to just be able to open a can and quickly heat up some warm soup, especially during the chilly winter … Continue reading
Cooking Confessions: Lasagna
Well, I made gluten-free, vegetarian lasagna. The picture was taken before it went in the oven. Everyone was too excited, so I wasn’t able to snap a picture before it had already been cut into. Guess that’s not a bad … Continue reading
Banana Bread (gluten & sugar free)
Due to snow-related power outages, I hadn’t cooked anything new for a few days. During the storm, my family and I ended up eating the toppings for the pizza I’d planned to make, so I was out of ideas and … Continue reading
Garbanzo Bean Flour (and why I won’t eat it)
The first time I tried cooking with garbanzo bean flour I thought that the flour must have gone bad. I threw the whole new bag away, brushed my teeth, and worried I might get food poisoning. The strong, make-you-want-to-vomit flavor … Continue reading
Hidden Gluten: Tea
Even though I’ve been gluten-free for a couple of years, once in awhile something gluteny still manages to sneak its way in. This time, it was hidden in my holiday-blend tea. I’m so careful about reading labels, but for some … Continue reading
Cream Cheese Frosting (gluten-free & sugar-free)
Making frosting from scratch was a new experience for me. And, of course, the fact that it needed to be both gluten and sugar free and hopefully still tasty, made it seem a little more daunting. As a result, I … Continue reading
Chocolate Cupcakes (gluten-free & sugar-free)
My very first attempt at making gluten-free, sugar-free cupcakes went alright, but the consistency was a little funky and they left an odd aftertaste in your mouth (I’ve decided that garbanzo flour most be an acquired taste). On my second … Continue reading
Cooking Confession: Cupcakes
When I was a kid my mom used to tell me baking was a science. And, now that I’m gluten-free, I feel like a food chemist without any training or a manual. On my own just guessing and hoping I … Continue reading
Hidden Gluten: Baking Powder
I was just looking over a couple of gluten-free recipes in a cookbook when I realized that the author didn’t specify the need to use gluten-free baking powder. Eek! This might not seem like a big deal, but if the … Continue reading
Turkey Meatloaf (gluten-free)
My fiancé and I were recently have a discussion about meatloaf that began when he stated, “I just don’t get meatloaf. It’s not that good.” Not that good? Well, of course, then I just had to make it. Growing up, … Continue reading
