Have you met Gigi, yet? We met through Brittany Angell (mastermind of Real Sustenance) several months ago and the food wavelength we share is amazing. It’s really funny how I’ll be thinking about making something and then she goes and posts something similar. Well, that means I really have to make what I was thinking, [...]

If you haven’t heard by now, May is Celiac Awareness Month. In honor of this month, my friend Andrea (Rockin’ Gluten-free) is doing an A-Z celebration of Celiac (and gluten intolerance). She asked me to be a part of it and I enthusiastically said yes. I got to meet her in person while we were [...]

I have been doing more juicing lately. Not only have I been craving juice, it just seems like a great idea with the changing of the seasons. Spring and Summer just seem to scream for juices. Light and refreshing. Energizing. Nutrient rich. Sometimes it’s great to drink your fruits and vegetables rather than chew them [...]

When you think of spaghetti sauce do you think of slaving over a stove for hours stirring your life away? That’s how I learned to make it. Slaving in the kitchen for something that turns out amazing. It’s worth the work if you have the time. And the patience. There are days that I don’t [...]

I fell in love with Sweet Potato Fries years ago when we did the South Beach Diet. Chaz bought some Alexia brand sweet potato fries one night to go with a veggie burger and it was never the same in our home again. There are times when I do want good regular gf fries. Preferably [...]

I intended to blog on something different today, but it will have to wait for another day. I have a pressing matter to discuss since it seems like the subject matter is in my face right now. I won’t get in to too much detail, but here’s the gist of it. Tuesday night I get [...]

Last week Monday we returned home from the Gluten and Allergy-free Expo after a nice lunch (gluten-free for me of course) at Buzz Cafe in Oak Park. We stopped for dinner when we got back into town and Chaz asked me what my favorite part of the weekend was. Hand down it was the VIP [...]

Chaz and I walked around the Vendor Fair the first day of the Gluten and Allergy-Free Expo. Honestly after non-stop sampling for about 10 minutes, I was done. Then, I happened upon a table that had gluten-free vegan cheesecakes. The flavors are inspired by New Orleans. Little samples were neatly tucked in mini-cupcake paper liners [...]

I had an amazing time in Chicago this past weekend. I’m not even sure I can do this all in one post, but I’ll try without making it too long. If it’s too long, I’d say I apologize, but I won’t. This was a great weekend full of information and fun. If anyone is new [...]
