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. It wasn’t until helping her through her own issues that we realized my own autoimmune issues were affected by gluten, grains, dairy, soy, and sometimes eggs…just like her! Making food for parties, for people, for special orders over the years, […]
OH, FORKS! Upcoming Event & Important Nutrition Information Disclosure
OH, FORKS! Upcoming Event & Important Nutrition Information Disclosure ~ Busy! Busy! Busy! I’m preparing for this weekend big event with the Jorgenson YMCA in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I’ve almost got the taste testing list solidified (yes, there are still a few last minute decisions, I know, shocking!) and I’m waiting on one of the last table decorations to get here today! This process has been similar to preparing for a book event, but so much more involved! Assuring that banners, signage, and social media postings are done appropriate is a LOT of work! And […]
Our First Event is Coming! April 2015!
Our First Event is Coming! April 2015! ~ While the excitement and anticipation is steadily building, I’ve also been racking my brain trying to decide which foods to bring for everyone to sample! As with any event, there’s the standard needs of advertising and marketing…even some handouts! I’ve spent the past few weeks designing new “swag” items that I can hand out at this event! So far, I’ve designed some informational post cards, buttons, banners, bumper stickers, AND book marks! 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.

OH, Forks!™ 14 Things we HaTe about being Gluten Free…
10 Things 14 Things We Hate About being Gluten Free ~ I’m at that point in my gluten free living, where if I hear ONE MORE TIME that I’m doing this as part of a trend, I just may throat punch the person who said it. It’s just going to be one of my new involuntary body actions that happens when confronted with ignorant and stupid. On the flip side of things, while I haven’t indulged in some of my favorite foods for YEARS….the mere sight of them has brought me to tears more times than I […]
Hey, Surprise! There’s Gluten in Your Meds!
Hey, Surprise! There’s Gluten in Your Meds! ~ I know. And I sort of hope you were sitting down before you read that. It happens less frequently now than it used to, but it does still happen. Whether it’s your prescription, or your favorite over-the-counter box of cold meds, if you’re super sensitive to gluten, you should probably call the company or check out GlutenFreeMeds.com to see if it’s on their list, at the least. Maybe you’re wondering why there would be gluten in your medication? It’s simple, and sort of the same reason why […]

OH, Forks!™ Waiting is the HARDEST part!
OH, Forks!! Waiting is the Hardest Part!! ~ GREAT NEWS!! I’m waiting for the proofs to arrive, and according to my printers….most all images and pictures were good to go! I bet you never even knew that I had to re-do every single one of them… Honestly, I’m still a bit nervous to see if they’ll all turn out, but, I shouldn’t have to wait much longer, right? Sigh. Once I get the proofs, I’ll go through the book with a fine tooth comb, and once I approve it, and make any changes (hoping there […]
