Summertime Means Dairy Queen!

Yup, summer has arrived, and with it, the desire to go get some ice cream.  Unfortunately, many of the flavors of ice cream and even the conditions of the parlor, do not lend themselves to those on gluten free diets.  With some precautions, though, you can definitely enjoy ice cream. Dairy Queen definitely does a [...]

More Easter Candy–Cadbury

Creme Eggs an Easter staple!  No doubt many of you spent many times washing your hands after devouring the Creme Egg and it’s sticky, slimy inside.  A Creme Egg is basically an egg-shaped piece of chocolate with a liquidish simulated egg inside.  I remember them being more liquidy growing up, and now more solid, but [...]

Easter Jelly Beans

If only we could get our children to eat regular beans so easily!  Yes, it’s that time when they want beans, lots and lots of beans, only the jelly type.  With so many varieties and brands, this proves a difficult area for Celiacs.  Many of the jelly beans are indeed gluten free, but some contain [...]
