With my current addiction to Chipolte starting to hurt my bank account, I decided that I could make my own burrito bowls at home.  I just looked at what they use and decided it was pretty simple.  I didn’t use exact amounts for anything…. I just winged it!

The hardest time for me to eat gluten free is when I am out doing things or need to take a lunch somewhere. One quick and simple solution I came up with is, what I like to call, “celiac sandwiches.” Basically, they are just lunch meat wrapped in cheese…. pretty similar to lettuce wraps. I quickly run into a grocery store and pick up some lunch meat and cheese slices from the deli. I don’t know yet which brands of lunch meat are 100% gluten free, but I know if I stick to the name brands, especially Boar’s Head, that there is a pretty good chance of it being GF. You...

I found these El Monterey, corn taquitos at COSTCO.  They are pretty good, especially with some hot sauce, cheese and ranch dressing(well isn’t anything with cheese, hot sauce, ranch dressing, and maybe bacon?). I have heard they have a chicken version, but my COSTCO didn’t have them. GLUTEN FREE

I ran across this great article by Linda, “the Gluten Free Homemaker.” I can totally relate to this! On the normal lists of celiac symptoms, you don’t usually find this information. I don’t have the typical stomach symptoms of a celiac. A few months ago, I started noticing that I was always very tired and lethargic. It was really affecting my daily life. This lead me to finally switching to a gluten free diet. Here is Linda’s article…. How Gluten Affects Me Mentally Part 1 – The Witch It was about six months after being diagnosed with celiac disease when...

(In my best Jeff Foxworthy voice….) If your Christmas ornaments are made out of shotgun shells….. you might be a Redneck! If you know what I mean by “loose stool”….. you might be a celiac! If you have gotten over the fear of pooping in public….. you might be a celiac! If you have ever believed that your gut was going to explode….. you might be a celiac! If you find yourself reading more food labels than emails….. you might be a celiac! If you can read an ingredient labels in micro-seconds….. you might be a celiac! If you take more Imodium than...

Let me start by saying… AMAZING!  By far, surpassed my expectations, of ALL pizza. Nine out of ten stars, on the: “Mike’s Official Gluten Free Pizza Review Scale!”  I gave it a 9, instead of a 10, because I have to leave room for the chance that someone could top this experience, but it would be tough. Waldo Pizza is nearly a Kansas City landmark.  They have been open for 20 years.  Their original location is at 75th Street and Wornall Road in Kansas City, MO.  This area is known as “Waldo.”  They also have a location about 20min. East in Lee’s Summit. My...

I love to hear other people’s stories about how they were diagnosed with celiac.  If you would like to share your story, please email me. About a month ago @Switch2GF on Twitter asked people to share their, “going gluten-free” stories. For those of you who don’t know, I switched to a gluten-free lifestyle last August. So, why would I do something like this? It all started with me being tired one day and talking with a friend. I don’t think there was anything particularly special about that day, other than my being exceptionally tired. My friend asked why and that...

During my recent trip to Half Moon Bay and San Francisco, I insisted that we stop at Amici’s East Cost Pizzeria.  They use Still Riding Gluten Free crusts.  It was a very nice pizza restaurant and even had gluten free signs on the windows.   All of the pizzas are a little more expensive than I am used to in the midwest, and the gluten free 12″ pizzas are in the $25 range… ouch!  I figured, we are on vacation, so I would get it.  The pizzas look amazing!     #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align:...
