I was just alerted to an idea that Martha Stewart Magazines is tossing around, and the idea is to ” publish a special magazine that offers delicious allergy-friendly recipes, making life for people with food allergies and sensitivities easier and more delicious. Millions of people, including myself, can’t eat nuts, dairy, wheat or gluten, and […]

It is such a great word to say, chimichurri. Chimichurri sauce tastes as lively as it sounds too! Since my steak is comfortably marinating in the chimichurri sauce right now, I have some time to type up the recipe. I actually made an effort to document the amounts of the ingredients I used, […]

Vote for me in the Death by Chocolate contest

Oh, sometimes the chocolate gods are smiling down on me. Today was such a day. The honest truth is, before I was diagnosed with Celiac (2 years next month) I rarely made brownies that did not come from a package. Those were just so […]

For about 1.5 years now Ihave figured out that egg whites give me stomach cramps, bad ones, the more egg white consumed, the longer the pain and nausea. I have always felt a bit icky after eating eggs, as long as I can remember. It usually involved an omelet so I just attributed […]

For a baby shower I co-hosted last weekend I was asked to make something for dessert. Now a lot of you might cringe, but I rarely think about desserts because I usually can’t eat them unless I make them and it is enough to cook dinner most of the time. But apparently others […]

I believe I have previously mentioned that my house is for sale right now. We put quite a bit of mola into redoing the kitchen floors and painting the kitchen cupboards and three rooms in the basement. (I will get around too blogging about cooking and knitting in a bit, hold on) Ah, […]
