| Sesame Chicken |
| 2008-06-27 22:58:37 |
Do you remember take-out? My favorite thing to order was Sesame Chicken! Some of my favorite dates with my husband included Chinese takeout and a good movie! Since going gluten-free I haven’t eaten Chinese takeout (clearly their soy sauce is NOT gluten free) even during two gluten-free pregnancies. After a few [...]...

| Gluten Free Menu Swap- June 23, 2008 |
| 2008-06-23 12:31:15 |
I just went to the grocery store and bought food for the week. I was out of town this weekend and we were completely out of food. Rather than sit down and plan a menu, I went straight to Target and bought my groceries. I thought I would blog about the experience [...]...

| My Journey to the Gluten Free Diet |
| 2008-06-20 07:23:10 |
I wanted to write this post when I first started my gluten free blog in March of 2007. However, I could not do the post justice at the time, so I began by blogging gluten free recipes. I decided that the longer I put off the post the harder it gets to [...]...

| Cherry Clafouti |
| 2008-06-14 16:42:06 |
I have wanted to make a gluten free clafouti for a long time, but wasn’t quite sure how to go about it. When I passed this recipe a few days ago in The Quick Recipe (The Best Recipe Series) and had fresh cherries on hand, the time had come to give it a go. [...]...

| Herb Scallion Drop Biscuits |
| 2008-06-04 16:06:43 |
These aren’t southern biscuits- notice the absence of shortening, lard, or butter. I made these with olive oil, herbs, and scallions instead. So even though they may not be traditional, they make a fantastic accompaniment to dinner. They are also great eaten the next day for lunch with a side of tomatoes [...]...

| Gluten Free Menu Swap- June 2, 2008 |
| 2008-06-02 10:55:19 |
The Gluten Free Menu Swap is back at Gluten Free Mommy this week! The ingredient of the week is cabbage, which is in season in North Carolina right now. My family’s favorite way to eat cabbage is stir-fried. My enthusiasm for cabbage can be traced back to my mother who used cabbage [...]...

| Lemon Opera Cake |
| 2008-05-28 08:29:13 |
After seeing how much fun my fellow Gluten Free Bloggers were having with the Daring Bakers Challenges, I decided to join in the fun. And boy do they mean business when they say Daring! May’s challenge was to make an Opera Cake. When I read the ingredient list, the supply list, [...]...

I have got to get to the store, so the post will be short and sweet today! The Gluten Free Menu Swap is hosted by Lilac Kitchen this week.

| A Frugal Healthy Grocery Budget |
| 2008-05-22 22:22:50 |
Prices just keep going up at the grocery store! I thought it would be a good time to reflect on eating healthy and frugally, since sometimes it seems that the two are mutually exclusive. When you add on other dietary requirements or preferences like eating gluten free or shopping locally, it can seem [...]...

| Asparagus Salad with Raspberry Almond Vinaigrette |
| 2008-05-20 19:17:47 |
Gluten Free Mommy was mentioned in the May 2008 NFCA newsletter under “Hot Products.” How cool! Welcome to those of you who found the blog through the newsletter! If you don’t know about the NFCA, it stands for National Foundation for Celiac Awareness. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to finding [...]...

| Gluten Free Menu Swap- May 19, 2008 |
| 2008-05-19 12:50:04 |
I have lost fifteen pounds so far on the South Beach diet. I am 125 pounds today. As I have said before, I find Phase 2 to be challenging while on the gluten free diet, exercising and nursing. Brown rice is reserved for Phase 3, so bread or muffin recipes can be [...]...

| Chocolate Dipped Brownie Torte Wedges |
| 2008-05-09 20:58:46 |
Last week when I made chocolate covered strawberries, I decided I wanted something a little more decadent to go with them on the dessert plate. I made these chocolate dipped brownie torte wedges and they were a big hit!
Cooking Note: The torte is not going to be very tall, but that is intentional. [...]...

| Red Quinoa Stuffed Peppers |
| 2008-05-07 21:10:07 |
Quinoa is a favorite in my house. The name “keen-wah” sounds adventurous and exotic to Americans, but this “mother grain” is a staple in many other cultures. Quinoa is low on the glycemic index and contains a complete protein, making it a great addition to anyone’s diet. Since Quinoa is new to [...]...

We had a big weekend with family at my house, so I will spend the rest of the week in recovery mode. My menu is important so I get back in the swing of things with South Beach Phase 2! I did not lose any weight last week, but I did cheat [...]...

| Pico de Gallo and Guacamole |
| 2008-05-04 17:52:06 |
When my husband and I got married, I was delighted that he had a few cookbooks of his own to add to our collection. Our much loved pico de gallo and guacamole recipes come from his Chevys Fresh Mex Cookbook. The proportions have changed to suit our tastes, so I will post our [...]...

| 2008-05-02 22:08:51 |
I have been quiet this week because I have been busy preparing for Dan’s baptism party. We are having my huge family over to celebrate the occasion. Dan’s separation anxiety has held me hostage and so I was playing catch up all week trying to get ready! Dan will literally [...]...

| Gluten Free Menu Swap- April 28, 2008 |
| 2008-04-28 07:05:54 |
I lost 2 more lbs last week. As a breastfeeding mom, I want to lose 2 and only 2 lbs a week, which is extremely difficult when you are weightlifting, dieting, and nursing. Too many calories, too few calories..ugh. Last week I managed to achieve the 2 lb goal, which brings me back [...]...

| Easy Yogurt Raspberry Lime Ice Cream |
| 2008-04-24 17:29:45 |
Spring is here in North Carolina! The weather is gorgeous. Spending time outside has inspired me to create an icy treat for little Jude to eat outdoors in the sunshine. I made this Raspberry Lime Cream">Ice Cream in my Ice Cream Maker. I love mine! It is wonderful to be able to control sugar content [...]...

| 2008-04-21 12:06:54 |
My good friend, Nilda, gave me a beautiful present for my kitchen this weekend. She made me an herb garden for my kitchen! What a sweet gift! Nilda knew how much I wanted some of her oregano from Puerto Rico, so she planted some along with several other herbs. It [...]...

| Pesto your Fish and Have a Side of Green Beans |
| 2008-04-18 20:33:01 |
I love fish recipes and most of them I keep rather simple. Fresh fish is wonderful cooked with just a little olive oil, lemon juice, and maybe a little sea salt. My husband loves fish, so I try to make it for dinner at least once a week. This week I jazzed [...]...

I am seven pounds lighter than I was last week. Since going on the South Beach Diet a week ago, I have been eating nonstop and losing weight dramatically. The results have been downright amazing. I am glad I finally humbled myself and changed my diet and began exercising. I never [...]...

| Chocolate Chunk Toffee Cookies |
| 2008-04-10 15:33:26 |
This recipe is a jazzed up version of the no flour peanut butter cookie. I like this version because it includes creamy, crunchy toffee that goes so well with quinoa and oatmeal. And what is not to like about chunks of bittersweet chocolate? The cool thing about this cookie is that [...]...

| Mixed Greens, Cilantro and Purple Cabbage Salad |
| 2008-04-08 19:28:18 |
My favorite ingredient to put in salad is cilantro. Adding cilantro is a great way to add fiber, Vitamin A, and lutein. Cilantro has also been found to help digestion and lower blood sugar, which makes it a great addition to any meal. It is also very cheap and can be frozen [...]...

7 years ago today, when I was a freshman at Baylor, my Dad died in a helicopter crash in Vietnam while on assignment looking for POWs/MIAs from the Vietnam War. Here is the archived story in Newsweek- my dad was Lt. Col. Rennie Cory, Jr. So every year on April 7th I [...]...

| 30 Snack Ideas |
| 2008-04-05 00:14:06 |
At first, gluten-free snacks seem challenging, but really the list below looks very similar to what you might have eaten as a snack before you went gluten-free. Even though you might think these snack ideas are fairly obvious, generating even the most obvious ideas helps me keep a good supply of healthy and frugal [...]...

| Angel Food Cake |
| 2008-03-27 18:11:46 |
Classic angel food cake is naturally casein free and can be a delicious gluten-free cake too. If you remember cardboard, spongey, store-bought angel food cake, this is nothing like that. Homemade angel food cake is moist, tender and definitely worth trying! When strawberries are not in season, try lemon curd, chocolate [...]...

| Sun-Dried Tomato Dip |
| 2008-03-25 22:30:19 |
This recipe makes a great vegetable party dip. I normally set out assorted bell peppers, sugar snap peas, baby carrots, and celery. Tortilla chips could also be used here, but the vegetable assortment is always popular and looks great on the table. If you are making party dips, make sure everything served at the party [...]...

| Blueberry Breakfast Cake |
| 2008-03-20 12:53:13 |
This recipe tastes exactly like a gluten-loaded Otis Spunkmeyer blueberry muffin. It is pretty uncanny actually (in my long-ago memory anyway) and I sat there thinking, “is that really a good thing?” tee hee. I have eaten two servings already, so I suppose it is a good thing! This blueberry cake makes [...]...

I did not get a single recipe up last week! It wasn’t for lack of trying either. I learned a lot about gluten-free baking, but I didn’t have anything to post for all of my efforts. I am really trying to focus on other things, but all I want to do is bake [...]...

I am back to menu planning again this week. Thank goodness. I suffered without my menu plan last week. When I have planned a menu, I rarely have to throw away food that has gone bad. My menu keeps me fairly organized and veggies are eaten fresh and leftovers are [...]...

| Cindalou’s Flourless Espresso Chocolate Cake |
| 2008-03-09 10:59:00 |
One of my favorite gluten-free blogs is Cindalou’s Kitchen Blues. Cindy and Jon author this fantastic gluten-free blog that focuses on healthy gluten-free, dairy-free, and low carb recipes. I think of Cindy as a gluten-free Rose Levy Beranbaum because she approaches gluten-free cooking from a scientific angle. I love [...]...

| Almond Honey Yeast Bread |
| 2008-03-06 07:53:32 |
This bread is one of my favorite recipes. I am going to feature it on my Easter brunch menu this year. It needs no toasting and it doesn’t need butter, honey, or any other condiment. The taste is wonderful- I encourage all of you to try this bread with the millet [...]...

| Homemade Pizza |
| 2008-02-28 23:05:49 |
When I went gluten free, I was living in Scottsdale, AZ. If you have never been to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area before, it is a great place to be gluten-free. I was working full-time there when I was pregnant with my first son and was suffering from unusually extreme morning sickness (if by [...]...

Bananas are a gluten-free mommy’s best friend. They are easy to prepare for babies and toddlers alike. I love that they are available year round because I always have something to throw in the diaper bag for Jude (and now Dan) to eat. Banana is the ingredient of the week for [...]...

I have had a ridiculously long day away from my little ones. I am attending a doula workshop all weekend (there I go acting like a hippie again) which has made me completely exhausted. My sister and I are attending the workshop together which has made the experience more fun for me. [...]...

| Baking Gluten Free Bread: Millet Oatmeal Bread |
| 2008-02-15 00:38:44 |
For years after going gluten free I avoided bread. I was almost too embarrassed to admit to readers that I just didn’t have a gluten free bread recipe. I went completely without bread until we moved to Raleigh. It was here that I discovered Whole Foods Bakehouse Gluten Free Sandwich Bread. [...]...

I made chocolate truffles for my sweetheart tonight. He loves my fudge recipe, so I thought he might dig these truffles too. I always thought making truffles was hard, but it doesn’t have to be! Making truffles is actually very easy. And rolling the truffles is awesomely messy. It [...]...
