Giving gluten free thanks with an effortless holiday menu
2011-11-20 17:09:00 Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and the grocery stores are chock full of frozen birds and holiday hams ready for the eating. At its surface, Thanksgiving seems like a veritable “glutenfest”. Many traditional Thanksgiving recipes are laden with gluten, but does that mean those of us with celiac disease are doomed to eat our... Read more »
Is Going Gluten-Free the Next Fad Diet?
2011-09-18 05:04:00 I discovered by accident about 10 years ago that I was gluten-intolerant. I just stopped eating anything that contained it and never looked back. If you are accustomed to doing most of your own cooking from scratch, it is not hard. If you eat mostly processed food and eat out a lot, it can be ...
Chew on This: Gluten Free Chewing Gums
2011-06-29 21:56:00 Just the sight of it in my son's room reminds me of my ponytail softball days. Who didn't enjoy sticking a huge wad of Big League Chew in their mouth as a kid and chomping away until saliva almost starts dribbling down your chin? As an adult looking for fresh breath after a meal it is not my first chewing gum choice, but I am happy that my son (who is gluten free) can enjoy its shredded chewiness to his heart's content....

Gluten Free Pizza offered at the Taste of Chicago
2011-06-24 19:51:00 It's here. Starting today through July 3rd, you can experience the tastes, smells, and interesting sights that are The Taste of Chicago in Grant Park. With 59 restaurants offering items from their menus, it can be a diner's paradise. For those with celiac disease or a food intolerance, it can be quite a different story. Most fried items are coated in wheat flour, sauces can have hidden gluten, and how fun is a Chicago style hot dog without a bun? Restaurants are becoming more allergen aware, but gluten free choices have traditionally been extremely limited at The Taste.This year however, Connie's Pizza is offering a 10-inch gluten free pizza as well as a gluten free pizza slice from their "Taste...

Novak Djokovic: The Gluten Free Tennis Phenom
2011-05-20 18:07:00 There is no doubt that Novak Djokovic is a force to be reckoned with on the tennis court. Currently ranked number 2 in the world and vying for Rafael Nadal's top spot, the young Serbian professional tennis player has been setting records since 2007, including the youngest player to win a Men's Championship (Miami Masters) and to have reached the semi-finals of all four Grand Slam events. Some have been speculating if his recent winning streak may, in part, be attributable to his gluten free diet - either by physically improving his health or giving him a confidence boost so critical to the game of tennis....

Gluten Free Pizza
2011-05-02 18:20:00 After spending an entire, exhausting, day moving all of my stuff, Kevin & I decided the only logical thing to do was to make gluten free pizza, with a crust from scratch.Well, he decided, I organized all of the stuff we had moved.So we grabbed the gluten free standby of Pamela's flour and used the recipe on the back of the bag. Unfortunately, this was Kevin's first interaction with yeast and he was bummed to find out it meant he had to wait an extra 40 minutes for his pizza.In the end, it was definitely worth the wait. The crust was almost a little sweet, reminded me a lot of California Pizza Kitchen's crust (one of my favorites). If you...

Subway Testing Gluten Free Menu Items
2011-01-09 21:31:00 The gluten free twittersphere was a buzz this week with news that Subway is testing out gluten free menu items in select markets. You can read all of the details here in this Chicago Tribune article.I have to say I wasn't the least bit surprised when most of my GF tweeps were skeptical of the attempt to add gluten free items to a chain known for their sandwiches.The potential for cross-contamination is mind-boggling. Yes, the people who prepare the sandwiches at Subway do wear gloves so if they're following Hannah's Bretzel's lead and just utilizing pre-made and packaged GF rolls it may work.However, if they are planning on baking their own GF bread they may have a problem. That requires a dedicated...
Hackney's Gluten Free Review
2011-01-02 22:20:00 Growing up, Hackney's restaurant was a part of my family traditions. My grandfather sat on their board so almost every chance possible we went to the Palos Park Hackney's restaurant. This restaurant is known for menu items like their burgers and deep friend onion loaf. When I went gluten free, one of the things I missed most was their fried mushrooms. I recently discovered the Hackney's in Printers Row and found out they offer surprisingly good salads. I thought that at least this was one way I could still enjoy their food. Now I love Hackneys but they aren't exactly known for being healthy. Turns out, things have changed.Thanks to Hackneys, I had my first burger in almost a year. Yes,...

Gluten Free Strawberry Jelly Roll Cake - Share Our Strength Contribution
2010-12-14 15:58:00 As a child, I can't say that I ever knew hunger. I got hungry for sure. But I never knew the deep feeling of being hungry and knowing I would not be able to satisfy my growling stomach. My parents did not always have it easy and I can see there were times when budgets and expenses were calculated to the penny but one thing my brothers and myself never questioned to have or not was food. If times were a bit strained, we, as children, never knew it. I just noticed we ate more eggs throughout the week and lots more soups. I never put two and two together because I never had to. There was always food in my plate. Some children don't have this chance. Some children go hungry on a daily basis. My parents knew that. They made sure we did too and very early on in our lives made sure we knew the purpose of charity. We did it silently. Charity is an act that comes from inside of you. It does not need to be advertised or require praises. Just do. We know what it's like to hit hard times and...

Bob's Red Mill gluten free cornbread review
2010-12-12 22:53:00 Cornbread is one of those items that everyone always assumes is naturally gluten free. Unfortunately, it is not. If you read the ingredients you will notice that mixes like Betty Crocker's Cornbread and Muffin Mix say "includes wheat ingredients". Thats why I was excited to give a gluten free cornbread mix a spin. I grabbed the Bob's Red Mill mix a little while ago and since it has been snowing non-stop today I figured there was no better time to do some baking.In the past I've been disappointed by Bob's Red Mill's use of garbanzo bean flour in their gluten free products. Personally I don't like the flavor very much. But I checked the gluten free cornbread mix before buying...

Gluten Free Braised Lamb Ravioli With Shitake Parsley Broth
2010-11-29 15:29:00 I hope that everyone celebrating Thanksgiving this past week had a wonderful time doing so. I can safely say this Thanksgiving ranks high in the "best to date" for us. The food was outstanding. The company was delicious. Oh wait. It should be the other way around...As I told B. that evening after a strong cocktail "we had fun and we had fun making fun". That pretty much sums it up.I live for moments like these. Moments when friends just know that they are going to have a good time, relax and leave their worries behind. When they feel comfortable to dig into the fridge, get out the cutting board and chop away, preparing a delicious meal in a cacophony of pots and pans. I wanted nothing more than great friends around me at the dinner table and I got just that. I'm a very lucky girl. Thank you Tami, Mike, Broderick and Jack for such a rocking day! As far as time with friends goes, I want days like Thursdays everyday. As far as the food goes, Thanksgiving seems to kick start my desire ...

Gluten Free Thanksgiving
2010-11-27 18:02:00 This year was my first Thanksgiving being gluten free. If you think about how many things at the table end up with flour in them, you realize it can be a tough to have a gluten free Thanksgiving. But thanks to my sister and my friends, I managed to end up just as stuffed as everyone else...Thanksgiving morning my sister and I woke up and started baking. We tackled the gluten-free items first and later in the afternoon she pulled out the wheat flour, so as not to cross-contaminate. Clare made an awesome GF pie crust for my pumpkin pie and I made a fairly acceptable GF Irish Soda Bread with Pamela's Gluten Free Flour (thanks to my GF ladies...
Gluten-Free Holidays: Tips for a Safe and Tasty Turkey Day
2010-11-18 12:30:00 Thanksgiving is just a week away. I don't know about you, but my stomach is already growling. For those of you who may not know me well, let's get acquainted. Hi, I'm Rachel, and I love food and like to eat, a lot. If it has to do with food, I'm there and ready to try it. Funny thing is, I have what's becoming a pretty common, err, condition. I'm not a big fan of that word or the term gluten intolerant, but here I am, with my love for food and "dietary restrictions" raring to get to the dinner table! © Rachel Wolfe 2008...
Thin Crust Pear Tart - Tarte Fine Aux Poires For Gluten Free Thanksgiving &
2010-11-15 17:44:00 As I was making this tart for Shauna's Gluten Free Thanksgiving Baking Round Up, I started reflecting on how much I enjoyed being an expat in America around the holidays. I now have an entire second family, a tight group of friends and handful of added occasions to celebrate new traditions and holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc... Even Christmas in B's family is light years away from mine. Starting with the food of course.I did not grow up around pumpkin pie, pecan pie or double crusted apple pie but like anyone entering another family, expat or not, there are new traditions I have come to love. Some I have been privileged to make my in-laws discover as they let me bring my own creations to their tables. One of these dishes was my grandmother's Tarte Fine Aux Pommes. She was famous for it. And for good reason. One of the simplest and yet most aromatic and satisfying thin crusted pie I have ever had.She'd start by making a very basic applesauce with heirloom and very ...

Gluten Free Orange Cream Cheese Cookies
2010-11-14 21:09:00 Just to let everyone know, I already wrote this blog entry once and my computer froze before it was saved (yes I'm an idiot for not saving it) so I lost it. So do me a favor and pretend that this entry is a lot more witty than it actually is because I'm too tired to try and remember all of the awesome one-liners I had in the first entry. Trust me, it was pretty amazing.This holiday season will be my first year without gluten. While I've figured how to navigate the gluten pitfalls of holiday parties fairly well, I also don't want to be forced to forego some of my holiday favorites, like my Mom's amazing cookies....
Gluten Free Crepes With Honey Lavender Roasted Persimmons & Some News
2010-11-12 18:12:00 Given my love for corny, it should be no surprise to hear me say that you have no idea how perfectly perfect it was to sit down to breakfast this morning on the back deck. Crips skyes, warming sun, pups by my side, all wrapped up in comfy blanket, a hot cup of coffee and a gluten free crepe filled with lavender roasted persimmons.**STOP** Let's keep this real shall we? It was 6am. It was downright nippy cold. The pups started barking at the squirrels and I ended up spilling my coffee on the cozy blanket. But, let's face it... my positive disposition is more inclined to wipe off the coffee and become deaf to the sound of two crazy wild beasts barking their heads off just for the sake of waxing poetic about crepes.That's what I like about writing and photography. Any form of artistic expressions actually. It's yours to do whatever you want and give to people. Some will get it, some won't but a civilization honored with that name will let you be and say and play.I for one, decided...

Ghoulishly Good Gluten Free Halloween
2010-10-30 01:03:00 The only thing scarier than people wearing ill-fitting slutty costumes on Halloween is the idea of finding out mid-haunted house that you've been glutened. Stop me if I'm wrong but I'm fairly certain that Halloween is the only major holiday that revolves around giving treats to others. That means people who can't have wheat or gluten are spending most of the night sounding like a Debbie Downer. "Um, not to be a bother but do you know if this delicious homemade treat you clearly spent hours making has gluten in it? Because if it does I'll have to throw it in the trash." Wah-wah. No one wants to be that guy. ...
Gluten Free Candy Filled Chocolate Cake Doughnuts
2010-10-29 02:58:00 Despite seeing it on the store shelves since late August, I resisted getting candy for Halloween until yesterday. For once, that's kind of how my stubborn mind works. The more commercial a holiday gets, the longer I'll resist buying into it, and it was not until B. gave me a friendly hint that maybe we should stock up for trick or treaters, that I finally started seeing the displays at the store. However, I had a better reason for waiting to be closer to Halloween: Lara's Candy Filled Doughnuts. Oh yes.If I make cookies, they disappear as if a tornado went through the kitchen. If I get Halloween candy a week before the due date, I keep finding little gold and silver wrappers in his pockets for seven days straight. The man cannot be left alone with food. I count my blessings that he can't cook but knows how to eat. I also love when he gets involved and excited about baking something even if I know I'll be the one at the stove. Nothing warms my heart more than seeing people get e...

2010-06-11 07:01:00 I was out ambulating, as I am wont to do. This takes a bit of time, given to thought. I got the urge to do something with some of that cheap brie I sometimes buy at the Asian grocery I walk by. I bought some Danish blue cheese and some brie. I split the brie ...

It feels so good in my tummy. I was never much of a milk-drinker nor a cereal-eater, but sometimes you just get ...

I normally sleep late and eat late these days. I eat “breakfast” at lunch-time, sometimes ...

Gluten-Free Coconut Muffins
2009-11-30 01:16:00 Fifty years ago, gluten intolerance (or celiac disease) was thought to be a rare condition. It was long considered to be a disease of childhood. Nowadays, it is a worldwide public health problem and it is one of the most common food intolerance disorders in Sweden.My sister-in-law's daughter has CD. For her, following a gluten-free diet is a necessity. That is why I have collected some gluten free recipes which make it easier for me to invite her. It is nice to have something to offer her when she comes visiting for a coffee break.Coconut is 100% free from gluten. In Sweden, there is (mainly) only one kind of coconut to be found: Finely grated, dried, unsweetened coconut flakes, which come in packages of usually 200 or 250 grams.Light, soft, moist, and flour-less coconut muffins INGREDIENTS:* 150 grams butter (2/3 cup)* a little less than 2 dl caster sugar (3/4 cup)* 1 ½ tablespoon vanilla sugar* 3 eggs* 200 grams unsweetened dried, grated coconut flakes (1 cup or 7 ounces)* approx...

Gluten Free And Vegan Daring Bakers' Challenge
2008-09-27 06:01:00 It is indeed a first in the history of the Daring Bakers, a gluten free and vegan challenge! Since being a Daring Baker in December 2006, I have seen the group grow by leaps and bounds, with members from all walks of life partaking in our monthly bake-offs. I know it is daunting at times for some Daring Bakers to adapt recipes to fit their dietary lifestyles and I always marvel at how creative and resourceful gluten free and vegan members are. I was really excited to see that our hostesses this month, Natalie from Gluten A Go Go, and co-host Shelly, of Musings From the Fishbowl, chose Lavash Crackers from Peter Reinhart's The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering The Art of Extraordinary Bread.Natalie being a gluten free baker asked us to challenge ourselves and make the crackers gluten free while Shel asked us to come up with vegan dips and spreads to go along. Being a ubber cool group, we still had the choice to make them with regular flour if gluten free baking did not appeal to ...
