- Organic Prairie chicken hot dogs are soooo good 1:33pm Jun 30|1 Comment


I set off this morning with a cooler full of lunch fixin's, but tonight I braved the restaurant at Skyland Lodge. It was sooo fabulous...


A few months ago, I was going camping and a friend suggested we roast hot dogs over the fire. I scoffed. Hot dogs?! Not only are they generally not gluten free, but they are completely unhealthy and disgusting.Au contraire.....


I went to Schlitterbahn for the first time this weekend in New Braunfels. Since I knew it would be an all-day affair, I looked up food options on their website...


Sprouts, which has several locations in the DFW area is having a Gluten-Free Jubilee 25% off tagged Gluten-Free products June 24 - July 1...


A friend just shared his chocolate Quaker Quakes Rice Snacks. They are incredibly snackable! I'm not sure if the whole product line is safe or not, so always read the labels.


This charming website from the UK offers a variety of info including recipe videos - starting tomorrow (June 24, 2009.) Go on now to see a trailer for the vids.

would like to try their stuff, too bad you can't get their ready made stuff around here.


I finally got around to trying Boston's version of the gluten-free pizza...
Mary at 1:39am June 24
I was happier with Boston's, and it is much closer to me than Unos. When I went to Boston's, the gentleman who prepared my pizza made a point to come out and tell me that he used all clean utensils, which I am guessing they keep a small amount of toppings in seperate containers to avoid cc.


This was sent to me by my ever-thoughtful co-worker and fellow Celiac, Karla.Celiac Disease Radio Segment featuring Dr...


I just bought what looks to be an amazing pepper corer from Williams-Sonoma. A few posts back I wrote about the joy of grilled jalapenos. Anyway, I'm very excited to try this guy out. Looks vicious and efficient!


Recently I was in Central Market in Fort Worth and I bought some black, seedless grapes. They were very, well, grapey. They had much more of a taste than the standard red and green seedless grapes I get at most stores. If you get a chance, grab a bunch before they're gone!


Check every flavor, but the majority of Haagen-Dazs' sorbets are gluten free, delicious and slightly less evil than ice cream. Definitely a worthwhile summer treat!Recently, I was starving at a food court at a mall and hit upon Haagen-Dazs' lemon sorbet...


My friend recommended this as tasty, healthy, possibly vegetarian, high in protein and gluten free. I plan to try it ASAP...


Forgive this non-food-related post, but I wanted to highlight a cool organization called Smiling Dog Farms. They provide sanctuary for dogs that are considered un-adoptable.


Here's an article touting some new gluten-free beers that hopefully will be drink-worthy. I have tasted several of these in the past and the only one I would vouch for is theGreen's Quest Tripel Ale. I'm looking forward to trying the new versions of some of the others.

I was wondering about the gluten-gree beer!! Has anyone tasted it? I'm not a beer drinker, but only because when I drink it I have an allergic reaction and my face and neck turn bright red!! LOL

Kathy --
Did I ever tell you that *I* am gluten-sensitive?
Hard to find REAL gluten-free beer -- as the bottling companies usually bottle REAL beer in the same facility. The manufacturers state on the bottle -- gluten-free ingredients, then have to tell the truth in the small print -- bottling facility information.... Read More
Also -- I can tell you that gluten-free beer does NOT taste really good.
Gluten contamination for me -- means gastro-intestinal problems, followed by brain fog, then canker sores on the tongue -- and the next day -- itchy blisters on my scalp.
It also means that my family doesn't want to hear about it, either (:-)
It is DEFINITELY not worth eating/drinking anything with gluten in it for me.
The other bad news for gluten-sensitive folk -- gluten is in skin cream, shampoo, make-up -- and now it's even in some cottage cheese (modified food starch) --
lots of gluten -- with other names.
Like vinegar has gluten. It's in catsup, tomato sauces, etc.

Check out this well-thought-out review of the current best sellers the G-Free Diet and Babycakes by trusted Gluten-Free Girl Shauna James Ahern.


In my deepening search for cutting calories while preserving taste and staying gluten free, I have come across Heinz's reduced sugar ketchup. It is 5 calories per tbsp. vs. 25 calories for the regular stuff. I didn't notice a significant difference in taste...

A friend brought me a cop of Sprouts Farmers Market's Gluten-Free & Wheat-Free Guide today. This cool pamphlet has a quick primer for first-time GFers in the front and then goes on to list what is GF in the store by category...


This weekend, I experimented with a new pepper griller I got from Amazon.com. It did not come with its corer as promised, however. Be warned!I had a bunch of cored, seeded jalapeno peppers and also some sweet italian peppers that fit in the holes as well...


After everyone had reported back on the cupcakes at Central Market, I had to see and taste for myself! Indeed, there are vanilla and chocolate cupcakes by French Meadow Bakery for sale in the frozen dessert section of Central Market in Fort Worth - and probably in the other stores as well...


I have been looking for gluten-free chicken in a pouch. I have a friend who always has tuna or salmon in a pouch, but I just don't like eating anything that ever lived under water...


Pamela's, which has long been one of my favorite companies because of their consistently good products, has done it again with a brilliant cornbread mix. At first, I was worried because the mix looked very soupy, but it baked up into a marvelous cake-like cornbread...

This is from the comments on the last cupcake post:Lauren Melissari said...French Meadow GF Yellow and Chocolate Cupcakes are sold at Central Market for $5.99!I'll have to try one!Also, I got this awesome post from blog reader Diane Shaw about a Gluten-Free Mother's day that went well...


There is a rumor that Central Market has been carrying fresh gluten-free cupcakes in their bakery section. If anyone finds out if this is the case, let me know!


A friend just sent me this link about Bewitching Elegance Wedding Cakes by a woman in Burlingame, California. They specialize in gluten-free and vegan cakes. Dy's cakes look like unique works of art.


A friend told me that BBC America's Last Restaurant Standing used gluten-free customers to challenge their chefs in episode #13. This is very exciting to me because it raises awareness and gets it into the public eye...


A wonderful co-worker brought me one of Starbucks' new gluten-free Valencia Orange Cakes to sample today...


Saturday night I was eating with friends at the TGI Fridays in downtown Austin. I tried to pick something off of the menu and told the waiter I had Celiac disease...


Wildwood Art Cafe in Austin lived up to its reputation again this afternoon. I brought a gluten-eating friend with me and she loved it, too. I had one of their ding-dongs, which was quite tasty and I plan to eat a cream puff tomorrow...
