Here’s the thing. I don’t even like ketchup. Plus, ketchup is (most of the time) totally gluten-free. So why, pray tell, did I decide it was a good idea to make up some ketchup in my own home? Sterilizing the jars, spending hours slaving over something that you can buy pretty cheaply at the store. … Continue reading

Adventures in Gluten-Free Indian Food
When I first went g-free I remember someone telling me to try non-Western food. After all, we’re the ones who seem to have an obsession with battered food covered in gravy. Or perhaps that’s just me.

Easy Gluten-Free & Vegetarian Dinner: Quinoa Chili Stuffed Red Potato

Gluten-Free Valentine’s Day Dinner: Braised Short Ribs & Twice Baked Potatoes
This Valentine’s Day dinner, my friends, will get you laid by a celiac. Who am I kidding?

So, I’ve Lost It
Once you’ve gone on the gluten-free diet, there’s a window where you can still remember what real bread products taste like. I wasn’t sure what that window was, exactly, but now I know. For me, it’s approximately seven months after not eating gluten. Or at least that’s what my husband says, since twice in the … Continue reading
