What if Gluten is as Bad as They Say? ~ It’s amazing how many people still think the whole “gluten free” thing is a fad. Some sort of crazy behavior, or something that certain people do to be difficult. There was a point in our path down the gluten free road where I did question if being gluten free was really working, or doing anything at all. Not anymore. I’ve spent years learning about the effects of gluten, damage it can do to your body and brain, and how I can avoid it as much […]

The Dirt on Sweet Potatoes!
OH, Forks! Dishes the Dirt on Sweet Potatoes! It’s orange. Or purple. Or yellow. Sort of mushy sometimes, and can be found in a load of Thanksgiving day dishes. It’s shaped like a potato, for the most part, except often it’s larger than your normal white potatoes, or red. These are sweet potatoes, and up until about two years ago, I despised them! Seriously, I couldn’t even tolerate talking about them, thinking of the horrendous dishes with baked on marshmallows, bland hash, and other “great” recipes I had tried them in over the years. It […]
Welcome to OH, Forks!!
Welcome to OH, Forks! ~ We’re excited to welcome you to our new site! In case we’ve never met, I’m Author Skye Falcon! It’s nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by! Gluten Free for Me started out as a blog where I posted some of the recipes we were trying, mainly for my Celiac diagnosed Hooligan.

Still contemplating doing another round of recipe cards, with recipes NOT already included in the […]
Gluten Chatter: Doctors & Missing Diseases: So, What else are they Missing about Gluten?
Gluten Chatter: Doctors & Missing Diseases: So, What else are they Missing about Gluten? ~ There has been a lot of chatter recently in the news about gluten, what it does to the body, and the myriad of diseases and diagnoses that are often misdiagnosed because of the lack of information to some doctors about gluten in general. Just yesterday, discussing gluten reactions with someone whose family member suffers from MS, and they had just gone back on gluten, because they had “no real problems, and the doctor said it was okay.” This confused me.
