December 8, 2008

For the first time since being diagnosed with celiac disease, I have been really sick. Here are a few things that I’ve learned through this experience that I thought I’d share because they can be a pain to lookup when you’re under the weather.
If you need to hydrate, all flavors of Gatorade are gluten free. [...]

Quick, easy, great-tasting piecrust mix — Just in time for the holidays!

December 2, 2008

I’ve loved cherry pie for as long as I can remember. I was afraid I would have to go without it this holiday season, as a sign of solidarity with Crystal’s gluten-free diet.

October 30, 2008

We are really excited about this year’s election. So excited in fact, that we are throwing an election party!

Drew’s Homemade Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

October 14, 2008

I think the most difficult thing for Crystal to “give up” when she was diagnosed with celiac disease was pizza. Fortunately, we didn’t have to give it up! For awhile we were going the “get pizza anyway we can” route (frozen alternatives and specialty restaurants in other cities), which Crystal has written about previously. But [...]
