Well tonight I want to talk about Gluten Free. I started this blogContinue reading “Quarantine Gluten Free”

I’m back..kind of

This poor neglected site of mine ..the last time I posted here in 2014 was right around now give or take a week or 2 ..and it was at the cusp of many many changes headed my way. I am still concocting gluten free food ..taking inspiration from places I’ve traveled to, things I’ve eatenContinue reading “I’m back..kind of”

Gluten Free Ice Cream Cake…kinda fail..kinda not

I totally have a new respect for anyone that attempts to make an ice cream cake. I got a bright idea that for my son, who is not gluten free by the way and whose birthday happens to be today..I would make an ice cream cake with the ice cream flavors he likes and makeContinue reading “Gluten Free Ice Cream Cake…kinda fail..kinda not”

The Downfalls of Making Gluten Free Flour Tortillas

Yesterday I felt kind of brave and decided to attempt something I usually leave to the aisles of the grocery store…making gluten-free tortillas. I was just in San Diego and spent some time in Old Town where I was able to watch some serious tortilla making pros. These women make the whole process look incrediblyContinue reading “The Downfalls of Making Gluten Free Flour Tortillas”

The “Bloomin Onion” GF Style

One would think with the start of school realistically that time to experiment with new gluten free recipes would be non existent. HA! I am the kind of girl who responds better under pressure than not. Take for example, I was home all summer and until we got our new grill, I can count onContinue reading “The “Bloomin Onion” GF Style”

The Pillsbury Doughboy goes Gluten Free

Finally gluten free is going mainstream..for really real! Finding decent gluten free food that is ready to make is often a challenge, historically the available options included small companies that are big on price and low in taste..that was until…I found myself in my local Walmart Super Store on Thursday. I am admitting here thatContinue reading “The Pillsbury Doughboy goes Gluten Free”

Pasta Salad GF style

I’m a lazy blogger..I think of posts in my head all the time and then when it gets right down to executing my thoughts I would rather goof off on Facebook. Summer is coming to an end and it is back to planning of lunches and figuring out what to feed the world’s fussiest childContinue reading “Pasta Salad GF style”

In Search of Gluten Free at the NE Food Show 2013

Thanks to good friends, today I attended the New England Food Show in Boston. Gotta love friends with connections who can get you into a great exhibition such as this one. The place was a foodie’s wet dream (sorry for being so crude) there were samples of absolutely every type of food and drink youContinue reading “In Search of Gluten Free at the NE Food Show 2013”

Is it Doughnuts or Donuts

Well I did it, I attempted making Gluten Free glazed donuts and the results were not too bad but not perfect for the first try…I think the water was too hot for the yeast and so it did not rise as nicely as it could have..next time so I will use slightly cooler water, alsoContinue reading “Is it Doughnuts or Donuts”

Thinking about Donuts…MMM DONUTS

Mother Nature either has a twisted sense of humor or she figures we here in the Northeast had it a little too easy and it is high time for a reality check. It is freaking snowing again..seriously? This weekend I am not quite so prepared for snowmageddon and did not buy out Whole Foods andContinue reading “Thinking about Donuts…MMM DONUTS”
