We’ve Gone RAW

Yes, that’s right. RAW. Hubby and I have been doing research and preparing for a new LIFESTYLE change. Courtesy of the lovely Raw Divas we are starting a 7-day Raw Detox this weekend, and then we will transition into a raw food lifestyle.

The only thing we are unsure about it whether we’ll be one [...]

Mint or Spearmint

Mint is an often under-utilized herb, in my opinion. I say that because I am growing a pot (quite successfully) on my patio and I am up to my ears in the stuff.

A search of mint on epicurious.com, allrecipes.com, and foodnetwork.com reveal an array of garnish, mixed alcoholic drinks, ice cream, cold soups (yuck), dessert [...]

My Sweet Tooth, Me Not Bake and Other News

I LOVE sweets. Seriously. It is a problem. My husband (who is the diabetic without a sweet tooth) says I have what he calls a sugar-addiction that will become a health problem later in life. He might be right. So in my own way I have been exploring healthier alternatives to satisfy a sweet tooth. [...]

Guacamole

Here is a recipe I made last week for a gathering of friends and I made so much people had to take some home. So I am giving a pared down version for 3-4 people . No pictures but I can testify to the yumminess factor. If you prefer a chunky guacamole, this is not [...]

REVIEW: Bobs Mill GF Bread Mix

Wow! I don’t like to gab on about breads but naturally all GF eaters seem to obsess about finding the perfect GF bread. There are many who claim to have the best recipe which inevitably contains all sorts of odd flours and starches. Ultimately I do not desire to keep all those odd items in [...]

REVIEW: Enjoy Life(TM) Snack Bars

Sadly, you knew a less than flattering review had to be coming soon. In my quest for quick snacks that I can throw in my purse for those “whenever” moments that life can bring, I recently tried the Snacks Bars from Enjoy Life.

In a word – ugh. Dry, untasty, overly chewy, poorly flavored… All in [...]

REVIEW: Glutino GF Honey Nut Cereal

Two words for you… WOO HOO!

Any of you who miss a certain honey nut flavored, round-shaped cereal from your childhood? ME!! This has become my new favorite breakfast, and admittedly it is sometimes dinner when I am out of time or energy.

The apple cinnamon is good as well, but I definitely favor the honey [...]

Meatballs a la Husband

Finally I am ready to join the blogging for Karina with my own addition – care of my wonderful husband. I must say avoiding cow’s milk, goat’s milk, cheese, whey, casein, eggs, chicken, turkey, gluten, lemon, avocado, peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, soybeans, pineapple, papaya, green beans and kidney beans is quite a challenge! In [...]

REVIEW: Glutino GF Breakfast Bars

I am starting a new section of posts here where I will be reviewing various GF products on the market. And believe me, this is going to be uber-helpful to those of you who hate to waste money on products that taste like sawdust.

Pleasantly, this product does NOT taste like sawdust at all. The Glutino [...]

Spread the Word – Blogging for Karina

Thanks for the great idea by fellow foodie Gluten Free by the Bay – and you should join in Blogging for Karina, our wonderful GFG!

I will be making a post soon of the email I send in for my own submissions, and I would be remiss if I didn’t promote her Google group which has [...]
