Wow, great story. Love how she is so comfortable in the kitchen. Too many kids are clueless. Great job Mom!
Gluten Free and Casein Free Frostings
How does a Gluten Free Mom celebrate her birthday! With lots of love and a gluten free birthday cake of course! Despite the fact that the Weekend Chef left for London in the early afternoon, I actually had a wonderful birthday. The celebration started on my Birthday Eve with dinner with great f...
Thank you for including me in your list. I think this is a really fun way to get to know people. I am however going to cheat and give you this link to my previous post on my 7 things. http://www.thewholegang.org/2009/03/7-things-you-may-not-know-about-me/
The newest thing to add to my list is I moved my blog to a new server and I'm using WordPress Thesis theme. I love it. So easy and so many things I can do.
I totally agree with your #6. Our list is almost identical. I however don't run and have not been skiing or boating in 20 years but use to.
So glad your son made it home with you!
Thank you for sharing.
Seven Things You May Not Know About Me
I am not very good about the "social" part of blogging. I have a lot of blogs that I read, but when it comes to commenting, tagging, joining in on recipe projects, etc. Well I just barely have time to write a weekly post and keep up with all of the emails that I receive. And as the name impl...
Jessie- let me know what you put into your pesto. So versatile.
Alisa- Thank you.
Rachel- Thank you for the compliment. I hope you will try some of the recipes and then let me know how it worked for you. I love feedback.
Wendy- Usually my kitchen is a mess. My poor husband cleans up and asks if there was anything I didn't use or space of counter top I didn't dirty. He's a good man.
Linda- I love pesto too. I miss the cheese sometimes but the more I make it with different ingredients the less I even notice it's not in there.
Heather-Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Dianne- Thank you!
Brian- Let me know if you do try it. I'll look for it on your blog.
Sea- Thank you. I'm honored that you adopted me. Can't wait to see what you make. I think changing out the shrimp for Tempeh is a great idea. I'll pass that along to my oldest son who is a vegetarian. Love your blog!
Pesto Shrimp on Polenta Portobellos
One thing I love about a shrimp dinner is it is fast and easy clean up. Two things that make me and my husband (clean up duty) very happy. This what we needed last night. So I veered off the menu plan and started grabbing things out of the refrigerator, pantry and out to my herb garden (which...
Alisa- Thanks for sharing this info on your site.
Patty- My son usually has "that fish" once a week.
Jamie- Let me know if you find the minis. Be careful, they're good.
4 Gluten Free & Dairy Free Product Reviews
This past month our family has taken on the job of taste testing new gluten free products we found at the grocery store. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it. Each family member has their own list of foods we can and cannot eat, so no one person could or would eat every item we found. S...
Sleep Better Tips- first let me say I love the info on foods that can help you sleep better. Kudos! Trying your recipe this week.
Jenn- I have a hard time watching that show. He's so over the top but he knows his stuff about commercial kitchens. Thanks for sharing.
Dianne- Thank you for sharing!
Shirley- so glad you liked the video. I laugh my @*#!! off every time I watch it. I love stupid humor. Thank you for sharing your recipes!
Celiac Tips- I love that we get lots of different blogs sharing. I'm sure you get tired of me and I love what people share. So cool. I hope Mr. Linky will cooperate for this week!
Brian- Thank you for sharing!
Friday Foodie Fix -Shrimp
This week's Secret Ingredient for Friday Foodie Fix is Shrimp! I'm a huge fan of shrimp and I'm not the only one. Shirley at Gluten Free Easily is too. Shrimp is an excellent source of protein. They are a rich source of selenium, phosphorus, iron, copper, magnesium and zinc. It also has go...
Shirley- I know, I'm so spoiled. We keep asking if we can write the car off as a medical expense, it helps me get my Vitamin D. Lets hope we get more of that great weather. Can't wait to see your photos. Silly me forgot my camera. I don't go anywhere without my camera.
Pesto Chicken Salad
Today was a beautiful day outside and just begged for everyone to go out and play. So, we did. My thoughtful husband suggested we take a ride in my convertible VW Bug and have a picnic at a state park. He chose one about 45 minutes away that took us through the beautiful winding roads in t...
Shirley- Now that's what I'm talking about. Know what your are eating! You go girl!
Alisa- I love naturally dairy free and gluten free foods too.
Rachel- Thanks for the idea with lemon and dill. Sounds great. It will be my lunch this week!
Three Onion Wild Tuna Fish Salad
I think tuna fish is often overlooked, forgotten or people are fearful to eat it. It's a great meal or snack packed with 14 grams of protein and only 100 calories per 2 ounces. I know there are concerns of mercury levels in tuna. There is a lot of information out there and I suggest you r...
Linda- Enjoy!
Erica- I had no idea they put soy in eggs. How do they do that? Bacon mayo sounds delish!
Wendy- Do you have many farmers markets near you?
Shirley- Buying organic eggs is good for you and our environment. Stuff Happens on the Discovery Channel with Bill Nye the Science Guy did a whole show on breakfast items and organic eggs and organic bacon were big help to the environment to choose over standard.
Lucky you to get such great treats at your meetings. It sounds like you have a great support group.
I've not frozen hard boiled eggs but I know you can. Use to buy them when I ran a kitchen in a restaurant. Maybe they'll be good for our airplane trip. I wonder how far we'll get across the country before they thaw.
I like the speed breakfast idea. I may borrow that one. I make breakfast everymorning for my teen and hubby and sometimes that doesn't leave me much time to get ready before bus duty. Cool idea. Thanks for sharing!
Seven Minute Egg Salad
This is a quick and easy dish to make for a picnic, lunch, dinner, brunch and any meal in between. Each week I like to make a pot full of hard boiled eggs. I will keep them around for a quick protein snack or fast breakfast. I can use them to make deviled eggs or egg salad. Either way we'...
Shirley, Ali and Alison- You are welcome. I really enjoy reading your blogs. Can't wait to meet up with you all at the conference.
Robin Sue- You know about more markets in my area than I do. I'll check out the Amish market. I grew up outside of Lancaster PA and on a lot of Amish foods. Not sure how many are gluten free but I sure miss scrapple. I hope we get to meet up soon. Loved your stories on Lakeside cafe. I'll head there soon.
An Attitude of Gratitude
I want to thank Rachel from Living Without Wheat, for nominating me for the Attitude of Gratitude award. I am extremely touched by your kind words. Thank you. And, yes, I’m often found smiling at my computer. Especially when I’m checking out my favorite blogs like yours, and listening to Ada...
So many new products out. I do like Applegate so my teen may give this a try. I just posted 4 products we've recently tried on my blog today.
Eating anything from outside your own safe kitchen can be like playing Russian Roulette. I have ended up sitting in many restaurants watching while my family ate. They have a little more wiggle room than I do.
It makes you wonder about the restaurants with their gfree menus. I guess a conversation with the kitchen is the only way to find out if they know what they're talking about.
So, what did you do with the meal with the roll and the roll?
Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets by Applegate Farms and more new products
Every time I turn around these days there seems to be a new gluten free product or a new restaurant now offering gluten free food. This is a little hard to read, but it is a sign in the Microsoft cafeteria offering Gluten and Wheat Free Products. What can be bad about that? Not much at fir...
Christy- Thank you for stopping by. I love helping people make the switch to living gluten free. It can be overwhelming and a helping hand along the way will take you far. I hope you'll come back for a visit.

Wow, sorry I'm so behind on reading. Love all the comments.
Heather- I just made the tomatillo salsa again. Love it silly. I hope you check out all the great recipes people have shared.
JoAnn- Love chicken with 40 cloves of garlic but my friends don't like it as much.
Switch2glutenfree- Girl you are talking my language. I love Buffalo wings.
Celiac tips- Let me know if you give it a try. Waiting on mine to arrive.
Wendy- I'm glad you're enjoying the Friday Foodie Fix posts. I agree, people are sharing great recipes.
Shirley- I know. I took off too and see what grew. Having so much fun with what people are sharing. You know I'm a huge shrimp fan so I can't wait to see what is here next week!
Desmone- Do I mind, I'd love it. Thanks for finding me and for the garlic recipe. I added the widget. Very cool how that works. I really enjoyed the International Food Bloggers Conference via the web. Hope to catch the next one. I heard the goodie bags were amazing too. I hope you'll join in on Friday Foodie Fix again.
Thank you all for taking the time to share!
Friday Foodie Fix –Garlic
Time to get our Friday Foodie Fix with this week’s Secret Ingredient -Garlic! I love garlic and could use it with every dinner. I however have to limit it to my four-day rotation in order for it not to upset my delicate digestive system. Have you ever added fresh garlic to a recipe an...

Rachel- I hope you'll pass that garlic pizza recipe along for tomorrows Friday Foodie Fix. As for the coconut oil I can find it in my local Giant Food Store so it's not limited to health food stores. If you don't have it you can always substitute canola or olive oil.
Wendy- Please do let me know how you like them and what you fill yours with.
Thank you both for taking the time to comment.
Pupusas- Salvadoran Stuffed Tortillas with Spicy Slaw
These little gems are as much fun to make as they are to eat. Wait, that sounds like an old commercial. But, if you are looking for a low cost meal you hit the jackpot. I first saw pupusas at the DC United Soccer game. There was a little stand in the stadium that sold them and the line was...
Linda- I wonder if anyone can guess what edible plant that flower is attached to. I hope you have a great time with graduation. Such a busy and exciting time of life. Can't wait to see your garlic recipes.
Courtney- Tomatillos are so easy to work with. Make sure you check to see that each one you pick at the grocery is in good shape and not just grab by the handfuls. Firm and great green or purple coloring.
Menu Plan Monday –May 11th
Finally, a weekend of sunshine. I love sunshine! I’m solar powered. I hope this will be a week filled with great food, family, friends and fun! Monday- King Crab Legs Tuesday- Pasta with an ostrich meat sauce Wednesday- Beef Brisket and beans Thursday- Jerk Chicken Breast Friday- Roast turk...

Alisa- Many folks eat it without the Parmesan. I've not tried it because I can't have rice either. This is a dish I make for my family. Let me know if you try it without the cheese.
Mushroom Risotto
I often hear people say that risotto is too difficult to make. If stirring rice is hard then you won’t like making this dish. This meal takes around 30 minutes to make and has a short list of ingredients. When you serve it everyone will oooh and ahhh and because they think it’s so hard to m...
Rachel- I'm tempted too. Time to hit the grocery store and get baking again.
Wendy- Isn't that Purely Decadent dreamy. It's too easy to eat it right from the container with a spoon.
Linda- let me know if you made this.
JoAnn- Yum, boysenberries are wonderful. Where do you find yours?
Ali- well I didn't actually get it into a slice. Just fork fulls. I had to stop and take the photo.
Alisa- get that husband in the kitchen cooking. This is a pie that really doesn't need much measuring or work. He can treat you. Hmmm, I think I'll share that with my husband. Let's see how long we wait for a pie.
Thank you all for sharing!
Blueberry and Blackberry Crumble Pie
I have not made this pie since last summer and can't wait to get busy on this again. I think this week I may use this same process and use the strawberries that are in season. What are your favorite berries? What fruit combinations do you bake? So far I've only found one problem with this ...
