OH, Forks!™ How we Create our Recipes When I first began the Oh, Forks! Brand, I was revamping old family recipes to be made gluten free, and more “my own.” More recently and with the release of the first coil bound cookbook, I’ve really grasped recipe creation and execution very well. While most everything I create is gluten free, I do still make “normal” food, too. Not for myself, but when people request it, or for non-allergy specific orders. I enjoy creating recipes that can be altered super easily for a multitude of allergies. Whether […]

OH, Forks!™ Mary, Mary Quite Contrary…
OH, Forks!™ Mary, Mary Quite Contrary… How does my garden grow? Perfectly, on schedule, and beautifully green so far! How about yours?? In between working on novels, new flavors for the #SociallyFrozen ice creams and #DryGoods line, plus all of my other jobs, kid stuff, and life stuff, I have an intense passion for growing anything. Any. Thing. I think in the past week or so my family has learned I seriously need “nursery intervention.” What? A new tree? Sure! Let’s do a few apple, and a fig! OH! Look at those interesting peppermint plants! […]
OH, Forks!™ The Orderables Line is Growing!
OH, Forks!™ The Orderables Line is Growing! The ice creams are creamy, cold, and packed full of delicious chunks and goodness. The dry dessert mixes create the fluffiest, MOIST cakes around. The flatbread mix could not be better, being able to cook in the oven, or on the grill. The paleo frozen treats are to die for, melt in your mouth, and won’t dent your diet… But they will fix that sweet tooth! The samples are SO CLOSE to being ready to go out to those who request them! The sample form will have options […]
Bone Broth: Not Your Typical Stock
Bone Broth: Not Your Typical Stock By now you’ve probably heard about bone broth in some from or another. There are a multitude of flavors that “bone broth” can be, and my personal favorite is chicken. Some people like bone broth as a base for cooking, and others drink it straight- almost in shots- to help heal out guts. Literally. Bone broth has ancient components that help heal intestinal wounds, calm leaky gut, and restore GI function. Plus about twenty other things. Some people do not understand the difference between broth, stock, and bone broth. […]
Gluten Testing: The Elimination Diet and Pulse Test
Gluten: Testing your Tolerance with “The Elimination Diet” ~ Many people who suspect they have a gluten intolerance or issue often jump right into the doctor at first symptom. Normally at that first appointment, you’ll tell the doctor your issues, give him your list of what you consider your “trigger” foods, and you’ll patiently await his diagnosis. But most likely what you’ll get, is that in order for a diagnosis for what does indeed sound like a gluten intolerance, you’ll need to keep months of a food journal first. Here’s where I would usually tell […]
Gluten: What it does to Your Body, Symptoms & How to Test
Gluten: What it does to Your Body, Symptoms & How to Test ~ Gluten can affect many people differently. Many times, no two gluten intolerance patients have the “same” symptoms or reactions from eating gluten. In fact, many doctors would agree that unless you are considered a “true celiac” patient (and this means that an iota of gluten puts you down for a week, and sicker than ever), you could probably just LESSEN your gluten intake for results. Only about 1% of our population is a “true celiac” patient. With this autoimmune disease, the presence […]
Oh, Forks! Fall & Winter 2015 Updates!
Oh, Forks! Fall & Winter 2015 Updates! ~ Hey Friends, Family & Followers! What a busy few months it has been! August and September were busy with orders, and October brought a few more events! We attended the Great Lakes Book Bash in Kalamazoo Michigan in early October! What a great time we had getting to meet other authors, and getting to talk gluten free, Paleo, and GMO-free living! As you can imagine, this is something that we LOVE hearing people talking about, and opening their minds to! In late October we attended the GFFA Fest […]
OH, Forks!™ DIY Laundry Detergent
DIY Laundry Detergent~ Sensitive Skin ~ Many times, those who suffer from gluten allergies, or intolerance, often forget about the “Extra” things that we put on our bodies. Some of these extra things like laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, and other things still touch our skin, and many name brands do use products that contain gluten! Chemicals, coloring, preservatives, and additives are just some of the sneaky ways that companies get it in their products. Making your own, high quality products like this is cheaper than you think, and easier than you know! Not to mention […]
What if Gluten is as Bad as They Say?
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 […]

OH, Forks! Here comes the Great Lakes Book Bash! We’ve got another event coming up! This one’s a big one, too! We’re traveling to Michigan for the Great Lakes Book Bash in Kalamazoo on Saturday October 10th 2015! We’re taking our most loved, and most ordered, gluten free cookie recipe with us for sampling!

Goodies, our cookbook, and two of Skye Falcon’s novels: Phoenix Rising & Phoenix on […]
