A delightful surprise for me this weekend when I discovered the new Gluten-Free section at Cub Foods! Expanded, new products, a good look– but there are a few things that still make me cock my head and say…”Really??”
Meat is meat right? Some people will say yes, many will say no. But the question was recently asked on my Facebook page if grain-fed meat was considered gluten-free…and I figured the research was easy to find online – boy was I wrong. But I still have some information…
Wouldn’t it be great to cross another ingredient off the “forbidden” list for celiacs? While I’m not endorsing hydrolyzed wheat flour yet (it did take me about 3 years to buy gluten-free oats after they were deemed safe as long as there was no cross contamination), this is a topic that is definitely worth keeping up on.
Here’s the gluten-free hot topics: Subway, new snack bars, DC is Tops for GF Dining, and Marjorie Johnson will talk about her foray into gluten-free baking and an event this month!
It’s fun on occasion to get good ol’ American Fare at a sports bar. An appetizer, maybe a burger and fries are staples during a visit like this. But most times when people who eat gluten-free go out, so many of these tasty treats are axed off the “safe to eat” list. Not at Mad Jacks Sports Cafe in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota.
Miss just the idea of stopping by your favorite sports bar/grill for a burger and fries? Well there’s a gluten-free answer to that in the North Metro of the Twin Cities. And it is worth a drive to check out!
Many of us have been there – after a celiac diagnosis, you do your best starting your brand new gluten-free lifestyle and suddenly now you realize you can’t have communion at church. It is yet one more thing you have to change because of your diagnosis. It all can be a very frustrating — and even a lonely experience. One Minnesota church is breaking new ground to change that.
I really haven’t heard of “potential celiac disease” — turns out it is real and if you’ve ever had blood and biopsy testing with opposing results, you may want to read this article.
What’s a parent to do when your child is diagnosed with celiac disease and you learn those go-to foods make them sick! You’re immediately crossing common kid foods like chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese off your list. Here are some tried and true ways to ease into gluten-free kid-friendly food so your son or daughter (or maybe even yourself) doesn’t feel like they’re missing anything.
Some of you may have had the same hankering I did this weekend — holiday baking! But for me it was because we were snowed in.
