Gluten Free Goulash 2008-11-30 12:53:07 I've always been a big fan of goulash. Growing up in central New York, goulash was one of my mom's staple dinners. With so many options for gluten free pasta on the market now, the pastabilities are endless. This is the first time I have ever actually made goulash the way it's supposed to be (slow cooked). When I typically make a goulash-like pasta dish, I boil the pasta separately, and th Read more:Gluten

Eating Mofongo in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico 2008-11-27 10:59:08 Happy Thanksgiving Everybody! Every year my partner Mindy and I fly to Chicago to spend turkey day with the Massaro clan. It's an event I always look forward to, not only for the great food and company, but also to enjoy some much needed down-time amidst my busy grad-school schedule. Right now I'm chillaxin at Melanie's house, one of Mindy's 5 sisters. The crowned pork roast is in the oven, Read more:Puerto

Chocolate Marshmallow Chex Bars 2008-11-22 13:44:23 One of the staples of bake sales across the country, Rice crispy treats have to be one of the easiest sweets to make. Unfortunately rice crispies contains malt flavoring, and malt contains gluten, therefore completely off-limits to celiac sufferers. Fortunately, there is ONE name brand cereal that has gone gluten free: Rice Chex. I wrote a blog a while ago about Rice Chex going gluten free, here Read more:Chocolate

GF Product Review: Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust 2008-11-16 21:48:26 It has been a while since I've enjoyed a good slice of pizza. A couple weeks back, Philadelphia hosted the National Celiac Foundation's "Gluten
-Free Cooking Spree" at the Wachovia Center. I went with my friend Katie and volunteered half a day to set up for the event. Unfortunately I couldn't attend the event due a night class for graduate school. I was completely bummed, since I knew it wa Read more:Gluten Free

Iced Lemon-Pistachio Biscotti 2008-11-13 21:10:06 Ever since I began this blog, I've been constantly learning. Not only have I been learning how to cook better, but also more effortlessly. It's so true what they say about practice; the more you do something the easier it gets. I've always loved to cook, but I used to be more cautious with culinary experiments. Partly due to economical reasons (it's expensive to burn up prime cuts of meat Read more:Lemon
Easy Cheesy Breakfast Bake 2008-11-11 19:13:03 Wow, I can't believe it's been 10 days since I posted a recipe! I've had a crazy week and a half; with paper deadlines, presentation preparations, and a trip to San Juan Puerto Rico. It's not like I haven't been cooking and checking out great places to eat either, because I have. In fact, I have a bunch of new recipes and reviews lined up to be posted within the next few weeks. But first, I Read more:Breakfast

Double Chocolate Biscotti 2008-11-01 21:13:09 Although this website is in a blog format, when I first decided to put this page together, my intention was to simply provide a place for people with celiac disease and/or wheat allergies to find useful information that would make their lives easier. When people are first diagnosed with celiac disease, it can feel pretty overwhelming. It typically calls for a complete dietary change, and a lot Read more:Chocolate
Gluten Free M&M Cookies 2008-10-28 19:38:00 This recipe combines two of my favorite sweets: M&Ms and Chocolate Chip Cookies
(CCCs)! M&M cookies are simply any CCC recipe where you substitute the chocolate chips with M&Ms (try using Peanut M&Ms with this. YUM!). I'm pretty sure that M&Ms are gluten free. Every time I surf the web I find lots of data to back that up. However, when I was in Australia I picked up a pack o Read more:Gluten

Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons 2008-10-28 19:37:43 I scoured through my cookbook library looking for the simplest way to make coconut macaroons, and found this easy recipe in the book: "The American Test Kitchen Family Cookbook". On my last day of our student-placement orientation, we were required to bring something in for a pot-luck lunch. I knew I wanted to offer something sweet, but I didn't have a lot of time to make it. These cookies were Read more:Chocolate
Almond Fudge Shortbread Squares 2008-10-28 19:37:30 Yes, these are gluten free. And yes, these are freaking delicious!!! This was the first time I've made fudge, and I found it easy and fun. I also liked the hands-on aspect of pressing the shortbread dough into the pans. The process was a bit messy, but messy is fun! I can totally see using this short bread dough as a cheesecake crust in the near future. Possibly Pumpkin Cheesecake?! For flour, I Read more:Almond

Pumpkin Spice Cookies (Gluten Free!) 2008-10-28 19:37:18 Here's another recipe in celebration of the mighty pumpkin. I just love the fall! There's nothing better than autumn hikes, crisp air scented with fallen leaves, followed by hot, spiced apple cider shared among friends and family:) These cookies are soft and moist like little cakes, and are alive with the tastes and smells of Thanksgiving. They are also very easy to make. I've used an electric m Read more:Cookies

Espresso Swirl Cheesecake 2008-10-28 19:37:06 This is only the second time I've been able to enjoy cheesecake in nearly three years! The first time, was while visiting Cairns, Australia at a place called Fusion Organics. It was a huge slice of delicious pumpkin cheesecake. Click HERE for a link to that blog entry. Before Celiac, I was a huge fan of cheesecake. Especially strawberry cheesecake! However, I never really understood what it t Read more:Cheesecake

A Day in Mossman, Australia 2008-10-28 19:26:30 There's not much to Mossman, except a few cafes, a skatepark, and a beautiful state park. I ended up staying in a place called the White Cockatiel for a night, a place known for its transformation into a "nudist" retreat from October to May. Mossman gorge is beautiful, speckled with unbelievable swimming holes, and lined with boulders worn round by countless flash floods. I spent a few hours Read more:Australia
Magnetic Island 2008-10-28 19:25:46 Magnetic Island
has been my favorite place to explore thus far. The island itself is part of the Great Barrier Reef, so snorkeling and diving is amazing! There are also tons of secluded bays and beaches to explore, boulders to climb around, and native wildlife (like Koalas, Parrots and Wallabies) to come into contact with. I saw two wallabies, a sting ray, puffer fish, parrot fish, and a slew o
Gluten Free Flights 2008-10-28 19:25:27 Before I begin posting new recipes, I want to talk a little about how difficult it can be for a person with celiac disease to catch a good meal while traveling by air. On my trip back from Australia, I first tried to catch a meal at the Cairns airport. The only places to get a meal was a coffee stand (with nothing but gluten filled baked goods), and a store dedicated to selling Australian food pr Read more:Gluten

Two Kinds of Easy Breakfast Potatoes 2008-10-28 19:20:12 I'm a big fan of breakfast potatoes. Which is partly why breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. One of the first food venues I felt semi-safe eating at were diners. Although I know that cross-contamination can happen (when it's super busy, and foods a'flying), for the most part, egg and meat-based breakfasts are naturally gluten free. Having worked in a diner called Pano's during my time as an Read more:Breakfast

An Evening at Fork Restaurant with Foodbuzz 2008-10-27 16:19:15 I have to tell ya, the people at Foodbuzz really know how to treat their featured publishers! Since signing up with them, they've sent me a tote bag, an apron, a spatula, and sweet business cards. Last Thursday, a group of us featured Philadelphia food bloggers, got together at Fork
Restaurant, ate some food, drank some wine, and shared some laughs. All on Foodbuzz's dime! How awesome is that! It
Anybody want some yam fries? 2008-10-27 16:17:02 I love yams. They're absolutely yamtastic. To be honest, I'm a bit of a yamaholic myself, for real, I truly yam. But seriously, I've loved yams ever since I moved to China, to a little city called Dalian (little by Chinese standards, at a little over 5 million people). Around the medical university at which I lived, there were people who sold baked yams off of carts. The carts held one or two s Read more:fries
Corn and Okra Jambalaya 2008-10-27 16:16:24 Eating Jambalaya always brings me back to the time I worked on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. I think the year was 1995. I had taken a job working with my father on a steel crew. We spent two weeks breathing diesel fuel exhaust while welding white metal plates on the new Crystals fast food restaurant. It was hard, miserable work, but I loved the time I spent after work exploring the area. In p
Simple Gluten Free Cornbread 2008-10-27 16:16:07 Corn bread was the first gluten free bread I experimented with. There are a ton of different ways to make corn bread, but this recipe pairs particularly well with spicy dishes due to its sweetness. A problem that many gluten free breads have is moisture content. A trick I've learned is to simply add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of water to every recipe. gluten free flour tends to quickly soak up any liqu Read more:Gluten

Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp 2008-10-27 16:15:07 I didn't plan on posting this recipe, but after a few bites I just had to share! My partner Mindy found this in one of our Cooking Light magazines, and we altered it a bit to suit our tastes. This is another of those dishes that tastes better the next day, so be sure to make enough for leftovers. Red curry paste comes in a wide range of heat levels, so keep that in mind when deciding how much t Read more:Curry

Spicy Acapulco Chicken 2008-10-27 16:14:51 Here's another one of those gluten free dishes you can throw together in a snap. It's made with basic, inexpensive, wholesome ingredients and tastes awesome! This has a bit of a kick, but nothing tongue-melting. Serve it up with rice and you're good to go.I don't have much time on my hands these days, so making fast and easy meals are a must. Plus I have to post it up and share it!

Pumpkin Peanut Sweet Potato Soup 2008-10-27 16:14:10 In celebration of the upcoming harvest season, I chose to create a dish with one of October's signature fruits, the mighty pumpkin. This soup has a unique taste, is very hearty, and incorporates another favorite ingredient of mine, the yam! I've never made this before, but I found it to be hearty, its taste... unique, and its feel... the definition of comfort food. It's also very easy to make, Read more:Peanut

Chicken Rustigo 2008-10-27 16:13:32 I had a great visit from my mom last weekend. The last time we seen each other was at Christmas, which was far too long ago. She drove all the way from Dallas, Georgia, and her visit gave me an excuse to cook and drink a LOT! This dinner dish came from the book "Favorite Brand Name Italian Cooking." After making a visit to where my fiance and I will be having our reception, the three of us stopp Read more:Chicken
