What is the food that you tend to crave? For some people it’s bread. For others it’s sweet, sugary items. I’ve always veered toward the latter. While I don’t crave bread, the simplicity of grabbing a sandwich or a slice of pizza is not an option when following a grain-free protocol. It typically isn’t a […]
I love to cook, but there are times when the meal planning gets put on the back burner. I just don’t feel like thinking about what I’m going to cook for dinner that night. In times like this, I resort to my Bowl of Goodness. I just take whatever meat and veggies I have in […]
My son has struggled with food sensitivities since birth. Even while he was exclusively breastfed, he would react to certain foods that I ate, with dairy being the worst. His primary symptom was extreme congestion (yeah, I’m talking about two parents not sleeping, taking shifts to allow their infant to sleep vertical at night kind […]
I wanted to make individual little meat and potato pies. I thought the kids would really enjoy these, and they did. Instead of white potatoes I used sweet potatoes. I am a huge fan of smoked paprika, and that added amazing flavor to these. These were a real hit and I will definitely be making […]
Does the thought of what to eat for breakfast leave you staring into your fridge or feeling flustered in the morning? You’re not alone. My patients often report that breakfast is the most difficult meal for them every day. Why? There’s a lot of reasons (and I’m sure you have your own), but some of […]
It’s a cold snowy morning here in Upstate NY. The kiddos and I were sitting by the fire in our feet pajamas, and I was craving something comforting and warm from the oven. I had some ripe bananas and decided to create a banana muffin. These make a great breakfast or snack. The kids loved […]
These days it seems like I am hearing more from everyone, not just patients, about the issues they are having with grains. Gluten, in particular, tends to cause problems for many people with an array of symptoms pointing to a sensitivity. But in general, grains can be inflammatory for people leading to joint pain and […]
I know I talk about eggs a LOT. In my opinion eggs are the gold standard protein and they’re not only nutritious, they’re also DELICIOUS! I know some of you love ‘em and are just like me in the sense that you look forward to ‘em every morning. You don’t get sick of ‘em and […]
I don’t post many recipes for things like bread replacements and desserts, but every once in a while something comes along that just begs to be shared. This recipe for a “Rainy Day Biscuit” from Simone Shifnadel of Zenbelly Catering is one such recipe. Simple ingredients come together to make something that is downright delicious […]
The Celiac Handbook website was created in 2004 by Chris Armstrong and has evolved into a portal for new (and old) ideas related to healthy and sustainable gluten-free living.
Celiac Handbook goes well beyond the latest cupcake recipe or even the most realistic tasting gluten-free sliced bread. The goal is to share information about minimally processed real food that helps people heal from what has usually been years of damage done by undiagnosed celiac disease.
