When I was in Cincinnati in June, my husband and I went to the Whole Foods near him to check it out. He hadn’t been and needed to pick some food up while we were out. We were wandering around the store separately when I ran into Goraw Ginger Snaps in the gluten-free section of [...]

Branching Out

We don’t eat out much because of my diet restrictions and to help save money. Since, I’ve randomly started looking up menu and allergen information online for restaurants in Louisville, I want to try things when I find them. I think the discovery of the gluten-free menu at P.F. Chang’s several weeks ago prompted this. [...]

My husband came up with a new pasta dish last week. He was so proud of it, that he fixed it for me Sunday night, only using gluten-free pasta instead of whole wheat pasta. His attempt was to season the crumbled tofu so it would be like sausage. While we were at Whole Foods Friday [...]
The Ninja Sushi Army

It started out at as a joke. I took a picture of our dishes after the sushi was gone one night and posted it on Facebook. My husband then commented, “The Ninja Sushi Army lay in disarray from the wrath of Debi Smith.” So, now when we go out for sushi I will take pictures [...]

I met my husband’s chado (Japanese tea ceremony) sensei on Saturday for the first time. His last sensei I saw several times a year since she lived in Lexington and headed the demos they all did until she moved back to Japan last Summer. Since then, my husband and two of his friends have been [...]
Hana Buttah Days

There are foods that always take me back to my hana buttah days, small kid time, as we say back home. Foods that remind me of when I was a kid and the memories associated with them. Then there are foods that just remind me of home, period. I had this happening Thursday night when [...]

I am in Cincinnati again this weekend. So, we get to try new places to eat while I’m here. We went to Taz Restaurant Friday night for dinner. We spotted this place the last time I was here and were looking for a place to eat, but we didn’t know what it was, so we [...]
Ad Hoc Snacking
Posted in Uncategorized on July 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I keep things around in the pantry and the fridge for easy snacking. Nuts, gluten-free crackers, fruit, veggies. You get the idea. One night this week I was hungry and needed something a little more hearty than my usual snacking. I did a mental inventory of what was in the fridge and decided, I want [...]
One Of My Favorite Things

Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks. A vice, if you will. I have a hard time passing up popcorn when I even smell it. Yes, I’ve got to have it at the movie theater. I used to get the microwave popcorn all the time, but stopped when I changed to a whole foods diet [...]
Mmmmm Is For Meatloaf
Posted in Uncategorized on July 22, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I think we can agree that meatloaf is a staple in the diet of many American households. It’s cheap and easy to make. I started making meatloaf back in Jr. High after finding a fairly easy recipe in one of my mother’s recipe books. My brother and sisters loved when I made meatloaf. They would [...]
