Last year at graduation, a graduating senior who had been in my class since she was a freshman (in a variety of the courses I teach), she gave me a parting gift. She gave me a coffee mug that says “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail” (Unknown). What [...]
GF: Chickpea Fries
March 4, 2008 10 Comments
Oh yea- these are the ones! Last week, while away at a conference, my colleagues and I visited a Tom Douglas restaurant called “Lola”. On the menu were chickpea fries – something that appeared too good to resist. I was skeptical when the fries arrived as they had a coating on the outside, but I [...]
GF: Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches

Sometimes I wonder what the big life plan is for us as individuals. Don’t we all? Before I was lucky enough to have met my love, I went on a few noteworthy (in the incredibly hilarious sense) dates. I decided in the midst of these dates that there *really* should be a huge map of [...]

Okay… I had no idea the email that would ensue after the mere mention of granola bars in my kitchen. Really. Mark me clueless. However, I probably shouldn’t have been. I searched far and wide for a granola bar that met my gluten-free lifestyle to no avail for many years. Granted I have now fallen [...]

GF: Pineapple and Shrimp Fried Rice

Okay…did you make rice? Probably a million times since diagnosis, I know. LOL Here’s a relatively quick dish to make with your new rice making skills. We usually make fried rice with leftover rice from previous meals. It’s a great way to use up the little bits of whatever vegetables and meats that you have [...]
GF: Homemade pita bread & hummus

Yes, I’m alive. Just swamped with paperwork and finals. Semester exams are next week. That means late nights of grading papers and exams and early mornings of meeting students for help. It’s a hectic time of year. Being gluten-free during these long winter days means even later nights of baking bread or putting together lunches. [...]

Dear reader or fellow gluten-free lifestyler, Do you know what I ate two nights ago for the first time in eight years? Something so delicious and delectable that I practically made myself ill because I couldn’t resist and I ate THREE of them! I’m talking about homemade gluten-free chocolate-filled Croissants. Yeap. Catch you breath. I [...]

A day or two before Christmas, I opened my email to find a copy of a recipe from the Celiac forums (on Delphi). One that I was assured I would enjoy, love, and become another voice for WAHOO and GOODNESS in the Gluten-Free baking world. My friend was RIGHT ON! The original version of the [...]
GF: Buckwheat-wrapped Roast Beef Sandwich

In 30 minutes we are leaving for one of many holiday parties. I was scrambling to make something for myself to eat that would hold me over while I watch friends munch on gluten-filled delectables (Although I am positive that my friend will have some gluten-free goodies for me too – she’s amazing like that!

Oh – I think I’m done with sugary things for a while. Christmas chocolate OVERLOAD has hit. Santa has delivered the goods – and they shall hang out in the living in a bowl until my nephews return from California to help out. It is time for some savory to ease off the sugary. We [...]

Yes, they are naked. Really. It’s all a lesson in patience, I swear. Have you ever noticed how you can be the most patient of people for some things but then not five seconds later, your patience has melted and you stand frustrated and impatient? *That* would be me at the mere thought of decorating [...]
