What is gluten?? Gluten is the protein portion of wheat, rye, and barley grains. People with celiac disease or a gluten allergy cannot digest gluten. When ingested, gluten damages the lining of the small intestines, causing symptoms such as weight loss, bloating, diarrhea, gas, abdominal cramps, and/or vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Eliminating gluten from the [...]
If you haven’t tried falafel before, you need to hurry up and go buy some chickpeas to make this. Forget about the deep-fried stuff at the falafel stand; I have a recipe for you that is lighter and still oh-em-gee delicious. I adapted this recipe from one I found on www.epicurious.com. I made a couple [...]
I must admit I am a big fan of a certain French food… crepes!!! This little pancake has become my French love affair. What’s so great about crepes is that it can be breakfast, lunch or dinner! Sweet or savory I love them either way. Since I enjoyed them so much I thought I’d try [...]
Years back I used to make homemade pizza every week and enjoy an episode of Friends. I’m certain that Joey could smell it through the airwaves! I craved both the show and the crunch of my favorite crust. Since television no longer appeals to me I have to find other excuses to make pizza…ha ha…not [...]
My no time to cook lifesaver…Quinoa Bowl The last semester at school left me with some pretty long days. On Mondays/Tuesdays you would find me coming home from work only to walk right out again for my night class. I had little time to do much of anything. Oftentimes I would chill my face in [...]
For me, Summer = Tomatoes. I am sure you are figuring this out by now. My garden is full of roma, beefsteak, big boy, and grape tomatoes. Some are ripe and ready to pick while others are just beginning to ripen and a couple plants are just beginning to produce. I prefer to space out [...]
Have you ever bought beets with their beautiful greens still intact? And then thought…great, that’s a lot of waste. Ahhhh ha! They are not a waste! First, they keep your beets tasting fresher and keep in some nutrients by stopping oxidation. Second, they are really tasty in their own right! Don’t toss out the greens! [...]
Two reasons why I love using my Slow Cooker in the summer: 1) It does not heat up the house and 2) I can stay out and play as long as I’d like and come home to a hot meal. One other thing I love in the summer, (well, really all year long) TACOS! Have [...]
I am going to step away from originality for this post, and instead toot the horn of some fellow blogging RD’s (registered dietitians). I follow these three blogs on my NetNewsWire account (where I pull in RSS feed and read as I please). I hope you enjoy these posts, as well! Meal Makeover Moms: They [...]
Two things I am not a fan of in the summer: 1) heating up the house with the oven, and 2) cleaning up! Oh, wait–the latter I never enjoy! ;o) Last night, I was so busy pulling together our camping gear that I really did not feel the urge to dirty up the kitchen. Hmmm, [...]
