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.

I was looking through some old notebooks last week and found a forgotten treasure -some notes that I’d made on gluten free Monkey Bread. Monkey Bread!!!!! Okay, yeah, I was excited.

One thing that we’ve learned from traveling around the country (or at least the southern section of it) is that the availability of gluten free flours and mixes varies widely. Lately we’ve been in areas where the selection is limited to Gluten Free Bisquick and GF Betty Crocker mixes. I’m thankful that we have those [...]

July 19, 2012 by 5 Comments
There’s often a lot of confusion about starting a gluten free diet. Most people, when they’re interested in eating gluten free, look up “gluten”, find out that’s it’s contained in wheat, and they figure all they need to do is avoid wheat in their diet. Then they hear that gluten might be in other grains [...]

Somehow I managed to forget, until now, to tell you what we can eat on a Primal Diet. Most of what follows this paragraph is excerpted from and based on the notes that John and I made while planning this experiment (on an incredibly long drive through the desert). All of our notes came from [...]
