This post has been updated from the original which appeared on this blog in 2014. We spent a lot of time discovering our perfect blend of gluten-free flour. We made a lot of dry, crumbly gluten-free pizza crusts before we perfected the delicious, doughy one’s we now sell. As long-time professional bakers, we had it […]
This post was originally published by our founder, Jane Trygar in 2014. The information provided is still relevant and helpful today. When I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I wasn’t sure what to do. So, like anyone who needs answers, I turned to the internet. What I found was a lot of information. Information I […]
Getting an accurate diagnosis is often the painful part of people’s gluten-free story. I know it was for me. Once you understand what’s wrong with your body, you’re empowered to make healthy choices. But misdiagnoses can be as terrifying as they are dangerous. It’s a lot easier to find a favorite brand of gluten-free frozen […]
We’ve all heard them before, for some reason, people have a hard time understanding how a gluten-free person lives. While it’s not your job to act as a representative for celiacs everywhere, you might want to be ready with answers to the following questions. “So what can you eat?” I’m a pretty patient person, but […]
When you start eating gluten-free, sometimes the novelty of it all can keep cravings at bay. Trying out the new diet is overwhelming, yet exciting, novel and new. But there comes a day when you hit a wall. Maybe you visit family for Christmas and the familiar smells in the kitchen catch you off guard, […]
Being a gluten-free blogger is hard work. When I started this blog, I wanted to create a space where I could write about my experiences as a gluten-free mother while promoting the delicious breads and rolls my family makes. As I began to do a little research about the celiac blogosphere and who was documenting […]
When you first begin living gluten-free, it can be easy to see the foods of the word as ‘bread’ and ‘not bread’. After a couple of weeks you begin to get a better understanding of what has gluten in it and what doesn’t. You slowly learn to read labels. You find your favorite gluten-free products. […]
The first time you go shopping after starting a strict gluten-free diet can be a little terrifying. Turning over your favorite packaged foods becomes an exercise in confusion and disappointment. ‘Not made with gluten ingredients’? ‘Made in a facility that also processes wheat’? What does it all mean? Reading food labels is an important part […]
Anyone who has been ‘glutened’ knows it only takes a teeny tiny bit of the stuff to make you feel absolutely miserable. I experienced my first ‘glutening’ on a family vacationing to Disney World. Our waiter seemed receptive to the explanation of my disease – please use all gluten-free ingredients and prepare my food in […]
My goal in 2014 is to make more from scratch. We already are gluten free in our house, but with gluten being added in hidden ingredients we want to take any chance of getting glutened out of the scenario. I cook at home at least 5 days a week now, but would prefer to have […]
