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.

As I mentioned yesterday, my future in-laws took Mr. Munger, my mom, my sister, and I all on a Disney Cruise in September. And it was amazing because I was actually able to eat. Not to mention, it was also … Continue reading

Huntin’ for Pumpkins: An Allergen-Free Adventure
Friday was interesting to say the least. I had food allergies testing, found out I have ten (10!) new not-so-lovely food allergies, and then I had a bad reaction to the testing, itself and consequently felt pretty crummy afterwards. I … Continue reading

Baked Apple Ice Cream Bowl (gluten & sugar-free)
Desserts have got to be one of the trickiest things, at least for me, to find yummy, naturally gluten-free recipes of. It doesn’t help that I’m also sugar-free and have a whole litany of food allergies. Makes desserts, well, challenging … Continue reading
Debi’s Sour Cream and Cheese Enchiladas
Whenever I tell anyone that I’m gluten-free the first thing they usually do is list off all of their favorite bready foods—breadsticks, sourdough, donuts, fried chicken, waffles—and lament my inability to eat them. They imagine my regular diet being completely … Continue reading

Blueberry Cheesecake (gluten & sugar-free)
Mr. M’s just celebrated his 28th rotation around the sun. Since our very first date to Seattle almost two years ago he’s been wanting to tour Seattle in the most culturally sophisticated way possible—The Duck. When Mr. M first pointed … Continue reading
Pumpkin Cupcakes (gluten-free & sugar-free)
I don’t really believe in “seasonal food.” Some foods are definitely fresher (and cheaper) if you buy them when they’re in season, but something like canned pumpkin doesn’t really matter. It’s just generally considered a fall/holiday food. But I love … Continue reading

Pepperoni Pizza (gluten-free & low carb)
One of the low points commonly reached by newly gluten-free folks is the oh-my-gosh-I’ll-never-eat-pizza-again phase. Of course, this isn’t true because there are several good pizza options and some restaurants now even serve gluten-free pizzas. But when you’re new, all … Continue reading

Eggplant Bake (gluten-free & vegetarian)
Well, I might not have been posting but I’ve still been photographing pictures of my food and taking notes on how I’ve altered different recipes. My laptop was temporarily out of commission, but now that I’m back online I can … Continue reading

Cake Brownies (gluten-free & sugar-free)
I’d made gluten-free, egg-free, lactose-free brownies before (see the recipe) and they’d turned out well, but today I was in the mood for brownies that had a more brownie-like consistency. So I decided to try a completely different recipe. These … Continue reading
