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.

Gluten Chatter: Doctors & Missing Diseases: So, What else are they Missing about Gluten?

I think I’ve said before that novel writing is MUCH easier than cook book design! I’m still averaging about an hour per recipe in BOTH programs! Doing the math, that’s only equaled one recipe per night! DISLIKE! Because there HAS to be a better way, I’ve spent the last few days testing out new methods, new ways of creating the most output, with the least input? Bah. I’m losing my mind in calorie […]
Gluten in the News: “Royals” YouTube Video: Gluten Version
Gluten Free “Royals” Music Video ~ This hilarious take on Lordes’ current hit song Royals, done by a gluten intolerant friend, is worth your few minutes!! I couldn’t help but stop, take a minute to watch (and re-watch), and share it with my friends! Most everything we deal with in our lives with avoiding gluten and allergens is serious, and sometimes stressful. Although the words of his remake are very true, it spins a fun light around this…excuse me… “shitty” topic. You can watch this awesome short remake by clicking the link below! Don’t worry, it only […]
