Jewish holidays can be tough when you are gluten free. Like most cultures, we’re heavy on the carbs when it comes to comfort foods. Think about it – bagels, matzoh balls, kugels, challah and in my family, honey cake. Every year my family celebrates the Jewish new year, or “Rosh Ha shana” which translates to…
Gluten Free Vegetarian Baked Pasta in a Crockpot
Give me easy or give me takeout. I need easy food that my family will eat. I need it to be gluten free so I don’t starve. I need it to be vegetarian baked pasta so my daughter doesn’t resort to microwaving a bean and cheese burrito with a sad little sigh. Did I mention…
Easy Gluten-Free Apple-Pear Tart
Certain things from the time “before” I was Gluten Free (over a decade ago!) I still miss. Warm apple pie, topped with ice cream, for example. It’s not impossible to find a decent gluten free pie crust. It’s just difficult and involves a lot of driving to multiple stores in search of that one mix/crust…
Gluten Free Trader Joes Pizza: 3 Ingredients
I’ve been loving this quick easy lunchtime pizza that I’ve crafted from Trader Joes Rice Tortillas, Pizza Sauce and Shredded Cheese. Not so much a recipe as an idea for you. Just slather on the sauce, sprinkle the cheese and nuke for a minute (or pop in the over for a slower melt). Viola! It…

Easy Chicken Mushroom Crockpot Ragout
This dish was a leftover concoction that turned into one of the tastiest dinners ever. So I had to share! It’s somewhere between a stew and a soup. The broth is so incredibly rich and flavorful. I called it a chicken mushroom crockpot ragout for lack of a better name! Bonus – it is gluten free….
Gluten Free Baked Zucchini Chips
Every once in a while I make something that is super easy, and a total success and life… is good. I’ve read several recipes for oven chips and none really seemed right for me (gluten free and lazy) so in the end I decided to wing it, and went with the following plan. I sliced…
Gluten, Egg, Soy, Dairy, and Nut Free Suganiyot Donuts
They said it couldn’t be done. Which was my invitation to try. Last night I took my original Gluten free donut recipe and re-calibrated it to make it free of several more allergens, all of which my niece cannot eat. Here are my modifications: I used a flour mix that was mostly Rice flour with…
I Hate My Guts: 10 Things About Being Gluten Free
This past weekend was a sucker punch. A one two disaster of epic gastric distress proportion. My freak flag flew high. The headline: Girl Gets Served “Gluten Free” Pizza That isn’t Gluten Free. The weekend retreat was promising. But the first night’s restaurant was horrid. After realizing they’d poisoned me, they grabbed the evidence, ran…
