I received this book more than a few months ago and have gone through it page by page and have tried at least a dozen of the recipes. It’s been a very handy resource in the kitchen, especially when looking for things to make my ever so skeptical and demanding kids. They always challenge me [...]
Featured Book:
Make it Paleo
by Bill Staley and Hayley Mason
I read gluten-free and grain-free recipe books nearly every day. Whether it’s looking for my next meal or looking to share the book with the huge gluten-free community — it’s a part of my day that I always look forward to. What makes it even better is receiving a book that has 200 recipes that [...]

Grass Fed Jerky Chews
I had given up hope on beef jerky a long time ago. Not only were most of the store bought versions not gluten-free, they also contained a pretty hideous list of ingredients that I wouldn’t even want to feed my dog. You can imagine my delight when I found this beef jerky with its ridiculously [...]
Featured Products:
Hail Merry Organic Snacks
Sweetened with pure maple syrup and fresh fruit, their products keep everything real. the only added sugar that I found was with organic palm sugar on the pecans. I may be a sugar nazi at times, but when I do eat something with added sugar, it’s something like this.
Featured Product: Zenergy Powerballs
I get a lot of gluten-free products sent to me from both big and small companies. Some are from huge corporate behemoths reintroducing an old favorite as gluten-free — others are from small companies or individuals trying to create a product that can compete in a hugely competitive gluten-free marketplace. The products range from unbelievably [...]

Elana recently sent me a preview copy of her new book, Gluten-Free Cupcakes: 50 Irresistible Recipes Made with Almond and Coconut Flour. It’s full of near perfect gluten-free recipes…
Helpful tips for eating gluten-free at Chipotle
Chipotle has long been a favorite of many newly diagnosed celiacs for their seemingly celiac friendly menu. According to Chipotle, everything on the menu with the exception of the flour tortillas is naturally gluten-free. They do recommend skipping the lettuce and the cheese as it is handled by gloved hand along with the flour tortillas [...]
Featured Restaurant:
Posana Cafe
Asheville, North Carolina
I get recommendations for restaurants that have either a gluten-free menu or are celiac friendly nearly every hour of every day. As much as I would like to, I can’t try every one of them myself. I have had the opportunity to try quite a few of them up and down the west coast as [...]
“Stealthy healthy” and gluten-free
at Hugo’s in L.A.
I’ve written about Hugo’s before, I’m writing about them now, and I’m sure I’ll be writing about them in the future. It really is that good! Considering that I’m an L.A. native, I’m a bit late to the game in terms of being a Hugo’s fan. Their West Hollywood location has been around [...]

Crispin Natural Hard Apple Cider
Even before being diagnosed with celiac disease, I was never a beer drinker — I’ve never been able to acquire a taste for it. When I was younger and all of my friends were drinking beer, I always found myself looking for the wine, the champagne and of course, cider. While it sometimes feels like [...]
Celiac networking done right!
The New York City Celiac Disease Meetup Group
Anybody who knows me knows that I’m a huge fan of networking through channels like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. I’m also a huge fan of more traditional in-person methods, such as social get togethers, happy hours, and business events. The online methods have their advantage for sure — a much wider reach to far more [...]
Gluten-free in the UK
Before arriving in France for the summer, we spent a hellish week in London — while I love London (I spent a few years there back in the early ’90′s), this visit was especially bad as there were five of us (myself, the wife and three kids) dealing with jet lag and not being close [...]
