Here’s a tired Nessie with my birthday cake which had peach compote filling, peach-flavoured icing and baked with almond flower. It is Wholesome, Organic, Natural, Allergy & Gluten Free, Low Sugar, Fair Trade, Vegan & Vegetarian. A healthy cake.

But it ALSO tasted WONDERFUL! Little flowers were piped all around [...]

When I discovered there was an eating pattern that would take away the pain in my gut permanently, I couldn’t wait to start. Spring and fall every year I was in hospital. Nobody ever mentioned diet. So I started, timid at first, [...]

Ian’s fish fingers or his chicken balls, serving size 6 or 5, with half teaspon of mayo dipped in Mott’s fruitsations, especially unsweetened blueberry carrot. Ummm. Protein, fruit, veggie, grain (the breading), under 300 calories. Usually coupled with a glass of veggie juice and I’m ready to face the day.

Here’s my significant other [...]

I had given up on cold cereal after fruitless searches through years down the aisles of regular grocery stores. Besides that, like at least 50% of Celiacs, I am also lactose intolerant. Then there’s all that sugar…
Suddenly, Saturday, I discovered THREE different kinds of gluten free cereals at my local metro [...]

My husband discovered Heinz baked beans with real maply syrup. They are now a staple of his diet. He doesn’t want no name. They gotta be Heinz. He says it’s a taste thing. The bean shelf, as probably on all market shelves the world over, is a long one. I wouldn’t take the [...]

Felt SO great to be able to eat what everybody else was eating – terrific burgers and fries with no filling or gluten in or on them. Our 5 Guys here in Kingston has been open less than a year. Today it was packed. Small menu. I had burger without the bun, tomato, lettuce & [...]

Adapted from the Oatmeal Drop recipe, p. 165 Food That Really Schmecks!). Mine are stuffed with dates, walnuts, flaked coconut, quinona flakes, cinamon, buttermilk, the usual cookie ingredients and a big fat carrot!

You can see bits of carrot, grain, nuts in this closeup, eh?
Not only do they satisfy my craving for grains (this [...]

This is a large piece of the glorious gluten-free pizza I made today with an actually decent crust. Toss that rice flour cardboard in the trash. This is one of those Red Mill Uncle somebody’s. (yes, I tossed the packaging in the trash) I will update soon. At any rate, the crust is [...]

THIS is that wonderful poached salmon dinner at Ramikins Restaurant on Bath Road, here in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The brown sauce is a lemon-butter sauce, the mashed potatoes are real as are the veggies.
My husband has the prime beef sandwich. Both our meals only come to 32 dollars all together in a lovely atmosphere. [...]

It’s the great big basket of fresh bread, rolls and bread sticks they bring to the table, (nothing for you) that makes the celiac wish the condition was more widely understood. There are breadsticks we could have. Possibly bread, though I have yet to find some.
Even crackers would at least [...]
