Gluten-Free Menus: More = Good or Bad?

I don’t know about you, but after the debacle with California Pizza Kitchen, I am on the fence about the prevalence of gluten-free menus.  Yes, it gives me warm fuzzies when I walk into a restaurant and find out that they do indeed have a gluten-free menu.  However, 30 seconds later I begin to [...]

National Celiac Disease Awareness Giveaway

Today, September 13, 2011 is National Celiac Disease Awareness Day.  I am doing my part to help spread awareness by partnering with LUNA to offer one lucky reader a sampling of their new gluten-free protein bars!  But first, the awareness part.

One of my favorite websites for Celiac Disease awareness is the National Foundation [...]

Appendicitis!

Phew…what a week that was.  Friday started out a normal day and then ended with us in the emergency room with Hannah.  After dinner on Friday night Hannah began to complain of stomach pain.  While I love Hannah dearly, she tends to complain of the littlest aches & pains so I don’t always jump [...]

Double Check

As I was jogging along on the treadmill this morning, peacefully reading my new Runner’s World magazine and drooling over the pretty new running shoes, I caught a glimpse of a story coming on the news about the gluten-free diet.  The premise was “The New Diet Trend”.  I wish I could have heard the [...]

We Interrupt Your Monday…

For the First Pumpkin Sighting!  The date is August 29, 2011 and there has been a pumpkin sighting.  Pumpkin ranks right up there with chocolate & wine for me, so I always have my feelers out looking for pumpkin goods.  One of my favorite companies came through.

Peeled Snacks: Review and Giveaway

Who likes dried fruit?  I do!  I can’t keep my hands out of it!  Last week I reviewed Peeled Snacks on Celiac-Disease.com.   Peeled Snacks are great for on-the-go snacks for school, gym or travel.  I love that they come in small, single-serve packs for easy portability and less waste.

Weekly Menu Plan–August 28, 2011

Today is a very exciting day for a friend of mine.  Beth, featured here as a gluten-free marathon runner, is competing today in her first Ironman in Louisville, KY.  I can’t even begin to tell you all how excited I am for Beth.  I have know Beth since high school and we reconnected a [...]

Everything Spelt

Spelt is not gluten-free.  Why am I writing this post?  Education.  Spelt is not safe for those with Celiac Disease to consume. Spelt is a species of wheat.  Wheat is gluten.  2 + 2 = 4.  More on spelt from Wikipedia:

Spelt (Triticum spelta) is a hexaploid species of wheat. Spelt was an important [...]

California Pizza Kitchen Continued

Earlier this summer California Pizza Kitchen debuted gluten-free pizza on their menu.  I was giddy.  I loved CPK pre-gluten-free and couldn’t wait to go back and try their new pizza.  Well, we did, and it was great, but our spirits were quickly dampened by the news that there could be major cross contamination issues [...]
