My father-in-law was out of town recently, so we invited my mother-in-law for dinner. She brought dessert–a most delicious gluten free dessert. When our oldest daughter first received the Celiac diagnosis, we only had one person in the family with Celiac, an adult cousin. Shortly after, her sister, Katie, was also diagnosed. This yummy recipe [...]
So you can find gluten free cake mixes everywhere now. You have Kinnickkinnick, Bob’s Red Mill, Gluten Free Pantry, and many varieties of Betty Crocker gluten free mixes. You can make your own frosting, or buy the many varieties of GF Betty Crocker frostings (http://www.raleighcelkids.com/?p=630). But what about the MOST important part–the jimmies? For those [...]
Thanks to all of you (45+) for coming out this weekend in the heat (95 degrees, and SUNNY) for our Cel-Kids Picnic. With the largest participation yet, we definitely enjoyed our time together and enjoyed trying all the great gluten free treats. A HUGE thanks to Mellow Mushroom of Wake Forest (click here for the [...]
Yup, it always appeared you could get Betty Crocker frosting gluten free. Looking through the ingredients, we sometimes did purchase it anyway, thinking it would be ok. No worries now–all Betty Crocker frostings, even the yummy Cream Cheese, can now be purchased gluten free. You will even see a Gluten Free on the label. Excellent [...]
Thank you Rosie’s! We can again eat doughnuts in our house. Recently, at the Whole Foods Gluten Free Fair, Rosie’s Plate brought samples of their cinnamon sugar doughnuts. In our house, we LOVE doughnuts, but try not to get them, due to the girls not being able to eat them. We began to hear rumors [...]
So, just because you’re Celiac does not mean you need to ignore holidays. I think we’ve proven that with all the Christmas and Valentines treats. So now St. Patrick’s Day approaches. What can a Celiac do? Lots!! For instance: Gluten Free Soda Bread: http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2009/03/gluten-free-irish-soda-bread-recipe.html Yummy, traditional bread, with icing and raisins! Shamrock sugar cookies using [...]
I originally noticed this on the Raleigh Examiner’s website (http://www.examiner.com/x-5121-DC-Gluten-Free-Examiner~y2009m10d23-Big-gluten-free-news-from-the-Quaker-Oats-Company), but when we went to Kroger and WalMart the other day, sure enough-Gluten Free was plastered on all the Quaker Rice Cake varieties. This only pertains to the full sized rice cakes, and not the smaller ones (Quakes) in the bags, but all the varieties [...]
With the holidays upon us (like you wouldn’t know here at our blog!), you can find many resources online. For anything from recipes to gf candy to holiday meals, the web continues to be a Celiac’s number one resource. We stumbled across a website recently that, while is not extensive, provides some common sense ideas [...]
In reading a newly discovered blog, The Savvy Celiac (http://thesavvyceliac.com/), I read a post about the new Betty Crocker website that highlights all of their new items. First off, we in the gluten free/Celiac community are pretty lucky with all the great, informative blogs out there. Right here in Raleigh, we have one of the [...]
I recently stopped at the brand new Wal-Mart Supercenter in Louisburg, NC. Louisburg is north of Raleigh in Franklin County, just off US 401. As I walked through the aisles looking for postcards (boy, no one sells postcards!!!), a bright green sign caught my eye. This new store definitely was well laid out, you could [...]
