September 27, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Very few people who are gluten free are only gluten free. I know that many of my readers are actively avoiding two or three or fifteen different foods. That sucks! Having to avoid multiple ingredients makes everything about eating more difficult. It’s harder to find groceries, it’s harder to find recipes, it’s harder to eat. [...]

My testing and implementation of the strategies from the ebook, With or Without Coupons, continues. We are headed out of St. Louis tomorrow and will be staying at a rural RV resort for a few weeks.

Gluten Free Thai At Home: Larb
August 30, 2012 by 1 Comment
One of our favorite, favorite restaurants back in Birmingham was a local Thai restaurant called Surin. Unfortunately, finding gluten free Thai fare (or any GF Asian food at all) can be difficult. That’s not going to stop me from eating Thai food though! By no means! Over the past few years, I’ve tried my hand [...]
