Gluten Free
One-Pan Pasta (Gluten-Free)
While camping on the shores of Lake Superior, we invented this simple and delicious recipe. With only a few ingredients, including prepared coleslaw, gluten-free sausages, rice noodles, and curry, we had a meal the children still talk about. It’s a very flexible recipe; vary the amounts, vegetables, and spices any way you wish. We [...]
Fit Mommy Friday
Eating habits change. When our family first went gluten-free, we put a lot of effort into making breads and other baked goods, especially for lunch and breakfast. Now we rely more and more on other foods: yoghurt with or without flaxseed, buckwheat porridge, potatoes with toppings, crust-less pumpkin pie, left-overs, and so on. Of course, [...]

My husband loves broccoli, and the rest of us don’t mind it. My favorite way of eating it, besides peeling and nibbling the stalks raw, [...]
Unfit Mommy Update
Well, it isn’t Friday anymore, but here’s how last week went. Poorly. I was tired, weak, gassy, and foggy-brained. Some other celiac symptoms came back, so I’m suspecting that, somewhere, gluten invaded my food. Who knows where? For now I’m avoiding anything baked, because perhaps our gluten-free flour, from a bulk food store, is [...]
