Read More →I’d like to introduce you to my friend Brandy Wendler, the reigning Mrs. North West, Registered Nurse, Celiac Disease advocate, Heart Disease advocate, Special Olympics supporter, blogger, and one of the most incredible girls I know.

Read More →I’ve spent the last few weeks planning a birthday party for my grandparents – Gramma turns 88 next week, Grampa turned 90 two weeks ago. 85 friends joined us in their backyard, and we ate and laughed and drank wine. I’ll tell you what I know for sure – I want to be surrounded by Read more…
Read More →This whole thing started with a sale on blueberries. Our local Whole Foods has a featured sale on one item every Friday. Last week was organic blueberries. $1.99 a pint? That’s crazy-talk. I bought 12 for obvious reasons. When I got home, I realized I had underestimated the amount of available refrigeration room I had Read more…

Read More →I answer SO MANY questions about Gluten Free Challenges, Elimination Diets, and Food Sensitivities, I can’t even tell you. The biggest challenge is when children need an elimination diet – parents need recipes & resources (a plan!) to get the family through the diet, and to identify the issues their kiddos have. When I heard Read more…
Read More →I know a lot of you have challenges with artificial food dyes, some of you just want to avoid chemical additives, and some of you just like to try cool food stuff ’cause you want to. Either way, I’ve decided to post what I know about Natural Food Dyes for y’all, so you can make hot pink Read more…
Read More →You that feeling when you meet a person and you just click? It was like that for Erica & me, both gluten free, and fans of wine, coffee & acerbic jokes – it felt like we had enough in common for two friendships! And I love Matt, known as her “non-GFBF” on the Celiac & the Read more…
Read More →Oh, I love Farm Girls. I love being one, I love the ones I grew up with, I love meeting new ones – especially ones like Amber Balakian, that are changing the way we grow & eat food.

Read More →So, I’ve taught Roast Chicken in my cooking classes several times, and I always suggest making two (it’s just as easy as one!) and using the leftovers for a new recipe the next day. Then I get stares. And somebody says: “Enchiladas?” Yes, enchiladas. But other stuff too. And I also want you to make Read more…
Read More →So, I first heard about Lanna Coffee from Annalaura, (I call her AL) the member of the G-Free Foodie team in charge of keeping us on track (small girl, big task!) I tasted their French Roast coffee at the Fresno Food Expo and was impressed (I’m picky about coffee) but when I chatted with Kyle Read more…
Read More →I love my friends. Of course, I have a crew I’ve been riding dirty with forever (that’s what happens when you grow up in a farming town, 5 generations deep) but my Celiac Disease came with an unexpected side effect – Gluten Free friends.
