It was a pleasant surprise to see ABC News (Australia) report on the subject of celiac disease, specifically the research of a celiac vaccine. You may have already heard that trials are currently in progress for this vaccine. Thus far, 34 people have been tested with the celiac vaccine (also known as Nexvax2) and if all goes well, they expect the vaccine to be ready by 2017.

Kinnikinnick asked me to review 6 of their newly repackaged gluten-free mixes. However, before I get to the review there are a couple of things you must note. Kinnikinnick is one of the largest gluten-free manufacturing facilities in the world! In addition, Kinnikinnick won the Every Day with Rachael Ray’s March 2011 gluten-free baking mix taste test in the pancake and waffle mix category! That says a lot! They make many gluten-free products, besides mixes. One of my friends raves about their products every time she passes by them in the Whole Foods’ refrigerator section!

I just received an email which I thought was important to share with those who purchase Udi’s gluten-free bread and other products. I haven’t verified this yet, but it seems to be from a reliable source. If you’ve been searching for an expiration date, it is on the little plastic piece that closes their products. You’ll see a number on it. Example: 11125. The first 2 digits represents the year it was made. The last 3 digits, 125, represents the days in the year. It was made the 125th day of 2011. This would represent May 5, 2011. Bring a calculator along and know how many days are in each month! Continue reading “Udi’s Expiration Date – Gluten Free Products”
I went to my favorite Italian restaurant that caters to those on a gluten-free diet and they made up something special for me, along with their delicious roasted red pepper mashed potatoes! Ever since I have been meaning to create my own recipe. These can be made dairy-free by using a butter or margarine substitute, however, I used butter on mine. I thought my husband who likes to eat American style, meat and potatoes, may not enjoy these gluten free roasted red pepper mashed potatoes over regular mashed potatoes, but he did! And it is now our new fave! I hope you enjoy them, as well! Continue reading “Gluten Free Roasted Red Pepper Mashed Potatoes”
This wonderful gluten free pork tenderloin recipe comes to us from 250 Gluten-Free Favorites by Donna Washburn and Heather Butt, published by Robert Rose. This would make a wonderful Mother’s Day dinner! But who would do the cooking? Don’t forget to use gluten-free dijon mustard. I use Grey Poupon. If you wish this recipe to be refined sugar-free please remember to use an orange marmalade that is refined sugar-free or sugar-free. I like the naturally sweetened ones or birch derived xylitol ones. Hungry anyone? Continue reading “Marmalade-Glazed Gluten Free Pork Tenderloin”

May is celiac disease awareness month (not to be confused with International Celiac Awareness month in October). I not only wish to raise awareness about celiac disease, but those who have a gluten intolerance for other reasons! Continue reading “National Celiac Disease Awareness Month”
Custard is my favorite pastry filling, especially the gluten free recipe I use for my creme bruleé and to fill my gluten free cream puffs. However, this time, I needed a lighter custard for my cannoli that I was serving at our Gluten Free in Fresno Support Group meeting at Whole Foods. Unfortunately, real custard is just too heavy for a gluten free cannoli shell or a regular one for that matter. I thought I would lighten the custard up a bit with a bit of sweetened whipping cream, making an incredible delight! Everyone at the meeting really enjoyed the custard filling in the cream puffs a couple of months ago; therefore, I thought the cannolis with this gluten free bavarian cream would be a big hit, as well. They were! It’s light and creamy, yet has a custard flavor! Some went back for seconds and others had thirds! Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Bavarian Cream”
You may familiar with Tropical Traditions’ Coconut Oil and other great products. Well, they have a line called Household Traditions. As a whole, they carry many gluten-free products, and they are organic, as well! I cannot say enough good things about Household Traditions Dish Liquid! It is a coconut based dish liquid, great for those with skin conditions, allergies and more! I find it amazing that you can wash dishes with something so mild and natural, while cutting grease, yet leaves no soapy residue behind. I am sure you must have experienced using too much dish soap and then it’s so hard to rinse it off your dishes and/or your hands. A matter of fact, it is gentle on the hands! That does not happen with Tropical Traditions Dish Soap. It is made from a coconut base and smells wonderful, too! Read on to find out more about Household Traditions, its ingredients and their amazing giveaway that they are sponsoring!

Dr. Claudia Pillow provides us with this healthy recipe for grilled halibut which calls for curry, and explains the health benefits of this little wonder spice.
Curry powder contains turmeric. In India, turmeric is promoted as an anti-inflammatory herbal remedy and is said to produce fewer side effects than commonly used pain relievers. Some practitioners prescribe turmeric to relieve inflammation caused by lupus, arthritis, muscle sprains, swelling, and pain caused by injuries or surgical incisions. It is also promoted as a treatment for rheumatism and as an antiseptic for cleaning wounds. In addition, turmeric contains the antioxidant curcumin, which has been found to hinder the growth of mutated cells associated with cancer of the breast, skin, and colon, as well as lymphoma. Curcumin can kill cancer cells in laboratory tests and also has been found to shrink animal cancer tumors (1). Continue reading “Gluten Free Curried Grilled Halibut”
