Coming Back!

Hello! I have been gone for a very very long time but I am returning!! I will be back with new ideas, new recipes and more!

The Amazing Betty Crocker Bisquick goes GLUTEN FREE

Have you dreamt of a fluffy pizza crust, biscuits that do not crumble in your hands, chicken and biscuits, chicken fingers?

Ok my gluten free friends! WE HAVE FOUND IT! Pizza Crust with Betty Crocker takes seconds, the biscuits make my heart happy, my non-gluten free boyfriend likes the stuff AND it is SO EASY!

In my area you can find it at Stop and Shop, Target and Shaws! She also has a ton of gluten free recipes online. Try them, so far the only thing I didn't like was her fruit sushi snack.. too sugary!!

Ingredients: Rice Flour Sugar Leavening (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcuim phosphate) Modified Potato Starch, Salt, Xanthan Gum. MAY CONTAIN SOY INGREDIENTS!

SolToro Tequila Grill is AWESOME with GLUTEN ALLERGIES

Searching the web for Gluten Free Friendly places at Mohegan Sun was not easy. It was stressful and I decided that they must be someplace since there are so many. We walked around and I started to get stressed. Then of course we found a place serving mexican food which is usually a safe bet for many of us GFers! So I asked the waitress and she listed SO MANY things I could eat! It was awesome. She was confident too and she knew what gluten was! So if you are going to Mohegan Sun, I am sure you will be able to eat here! (Even GF Empanadas!!! )

Keep the word "safe", safe for us! -

Today my brother lost a friend to a food allergy. It broke my heart when I heard this for many reasons. First of all, this child, friends and family knew he had a serious food allergy. Second of all, this was completely avoidable. I know I cannot sit here and dwell on this awful event, however I would like you to remember that allergies are life threatening. Some symptoms are visible and some are silent. Some have instant effects and some come with time. However NO ONE should have to worry about eating something they believe is "safe".

 The word "safe" means more to a person with food allergies than it does to an average individual. To me, it means no stomach aches, fevers, mood swings, long-term effects such as malnutrition and so much more. To many it means no visits to the hospital, no epi pens, no trouble breathing. The word "safe" allows us to have a sigh or relief. I can eat that! YAY!

Please don't roll your eyes or think its ok to pretend its safe or forget to tell the chef or wash the ice cream scoop or put bread on my plate, dip your cracker in the dip, mix up the soy milk with the cows milk. If you mess up, admit it.. its better than being quiet!

Allerbling!
