I don't plan on writing a real blog for Easter but here is a link to NFCA's post on it and there is some information regarding candy for Easter in their post.

Iron Deficiencies

Posted by Joyce Paige on January 10, 2012 at 1:14pm 0 Comments

I have had issues with iron deficiencies most of my life (all of my adult life) and tried many different things to combat it. I have taken various types of iron supplements and they all had adverse side effects. All of them tore up my stomach - it did not matter how slow acting they were or how buffered they were, they all made me sick. I tried taking them at night; I tried taking them after eating; I tried taking them every other day - nothing worked. 

I finally saw a product…

Cranberry Nut Quinoa

Posted by Joyce Paige on December 17, 2011 at 11:00pm 0 Comments

I have eaten quinoa in many ways - it's like rice in some respects and like couscous in others. I like it because it's versatile. I have also made it as a hot cereal. I am sure I will continue making it in different ways and I hope you enjoy them all. This one is super simple. I use low sodium ingredients to control the amount of salt in my diet. You can always add more salt but it's hard to take it out. 

Ingredients:

2 cups quinoa, rinsed (I…

Helping Hands Bakery

Posted by Joyce Paige on December 14, 2011 at 1:52pm 1 Comment

Recently I was contacted by someone on Twitter that had a gluten-free bakery. While there is nothing unusual about that, they also had a mission that was slightly different and I think worth mentioning.

 

Bridget Lane is the mother of three sons with autism and she wanted to make a difference in their lives and the lives of others.  She wanted to create a place that would always provide jobs for her sons and others like them.  Her bakery hires and trains people with…

Thai Inspired Scrambled Eggs

Posted by Joyce Paige on November 19, 2011 at 10:45pm 0 Comments

As I said before, I bought some ingredients to make some Thai spring rolls and decided to see what other dishes I could create using them. Somehow the ingredients sounded like they would taste really good in some scrambled eggs so I tried them that way and liked them so much, I made them again. The coconut milk really makes the eggs fluffy and delicious. 

 

*Ingredients:

 

Enough butter to coat bottom of pan

1/4 cup onions, minced or…

Thai Inspired Quinoa

 

I bought some Thai ingredients to make some spring rolls and have so much stuff left over, thought I would try making some other dishes with them. I love quinoa and thought it would lend itself well to some Thai flavors. Well, I didn't realize just how well. I was happily surprised how delicious this is.   

 

Ingredients:

 

3 or 4 leaves fresh mint

about a tablespoon fresh Thai basil,…

Subway's Gluten-Free Pilot Program

Posted by Joyce Paige on November 7, 2011 at 4:58pm 0 Comments

I knew Subway was launching a "new" pilot program to carry gluten-free sandwiches in Texas and wanted to know if any other areas were carrying them yet. I had seen on "Undercover Boss" that they were planning on launching in other areas but this is the response I received when I asked Subway about it:

Almond Stuffed Dates

Posted by Joyce Paige on November 6, 2011 at 8:30pm 0 Comments

I decided to give my mother's stuffed date recipe an overhaul in flavor and texture. Although I always loved her stuffed dates while growing up (we had them every Christmas). I thought they would taste really good with a nut inside of them. Which got me to thinking about what the cream cheese part would taste like if I flavored it.  The result is the following recipe. The hardest part was not eating them all!

Peanut Butter Strawberry Chocolate Toast

Posted by Joyce Paige on November 1, 2011 at 6:30pm 0 Comments

I was trying to figure out how to tell you to make this sandwich that I make all the time. It's one of my absolute favorites. I don't measure but you'll see why. 

 

Ingredients:

 

2 slices of gluten-free bread for each sandwich

 

Peanut Butter (all natural is my favorite - crunchy or creamy)
Strawberry preserves
Chocolate Chips (I use bittersweet but use whatever gluten-free chips you…

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls

Posted by Joyce Paige on October 31, 2011 at 7:17pm 0 Comments

I love Reese's peanut butter cups but they have become more and more artificial over the years (or maybe I can taste the artificial ingredients more than I used to be able to) and I just wanted something a little more "healthy" for my junk food or at least more natural. 

 

I tried this recipe twice - the first time I forgot to measure anything so the second time, I measured as I went. 

 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup all natural *peanut butter (just peanuts and…

Gluten-Free Halloween Candy Lists 2011

It's that time of year again! All the little ghouls and goblins will be out and about (yours and the neighbors') looking for those yummy gluten-free goodies! But what is safe? Well, I've been looking for a list for awhile and finally found a tweet on twitter that mentioned one for 2011. HoldTheGluten had tweeted it regarding NFCA.  Once I went to the link, I realized the list originally came from Alison St. Sure of Sure Foods Living. I then had to figure out how to contact her and get…

Gluten-Free Bread Review

Posted by Joyce Paige on October 4, 2011 at 3:01pm 1 Comment

I have been trying various brands of gluten-free bread lately and there are three that I really like. Udi’s, Rudi’s and Canyon Bakehouse.

 

I think whichever one you can get fresh, is going to be the best one for you unless you have additional allergies and then pick the one that you can eat.  All three brands are available in our area, unfortunately, none of them are fresh. The stores here freeze them and then (for some products) they restock shelves with the frozen bread. …

Gluten-Free Madeleines

Posted by Joyce Paige on September 25, 2011 at 11:00am 0 Comments

This is a classic recipe that I saw on Food Network. I converted it to gluten-free and made some other changes but the lemony buttery flavor is so decadent and delicious that I think this will soon become a favorite around your house. Although the butter is a "wet ingredient" I listed it first because you need to let it cool after browning it. …

Trader Joe's Garlic Rice Noodle Soup Bowl

We went to Trader Joe's last night and picked up some things, one of which is a list of all the things they carry (nationwide - many of the items are not available at our local store) that are gluten-free. Another was their Garlic Rice Noodle Soup Bowl. This is very portable - you can take it to work with you and prepare without needing a measuring cup for the water.  Just empty…

These are yummy!!! I used to make them for my kids without the chocolate but decided to make them even tastier. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. 

 

12 oz bag Chocolate Chips* (I used bittersweet chocolate chips)
