Save Your Gluten Free Bread Ends - Make Croutons!

If you're like me, you probably have a strict "No wasting the gluten free bread" rule. It's expensive, so you don't want to just toss it out the birds or even worse... throw it away, but what can you do with all the scraps and bread ends you wind up saving?

Product Review - Udi's Ancient Grains Millet - Chia Bread

A few week's ago, Udi's was kind enough to send me two sample bags of their fantastic Ancient Grains Millet - Chia bread. Both millet and chia have excellent nutritional properties and when placed together, they give gluten free bread the added fiber, protein and nutrients it needs.

Restaurant Fridays - Yankee Smokehouse

Welcome to Restaurant Fridays - My weekly review of the gluten free restaurant options in Boston and the surrounding areas.

Yankee Smokehouse - West Ossipee, NH (Near Conway)

The past two years Mike and I have been joining my parents in Conway for Labor Day weekend, which usually falls in the middle of their yearly two week vacation there. On our first night there we usually go to Yankee Smokehouse because we can't wait to eat their delicious BBQ.

Ordering Breakfast Gluten Free

This past weekend, Mike and I were up in New Hampshire with my parents. When we travel, I either eat Larabars and Coffee for breakfast or we grab some quick, cheap grub at a random diner. We had a pretty lazy weekend of hiking and hanging out so we indulged and went to breakfast all three days we were there. Each day we chose a different location to see how they handled someone needing gluten free food. I never really noticed that I had unintentionally come up with a system of how to order breakfast gluten free. This became apparent when I found myself asking the same list of questions each day. If you're out and about and need to get breakfast, but you're in an area where the restaurants have no idea what gluten is... here's my method of ordering.

Cuchi Cuchi (Website has music embedded)


I had been meaning to try Cuchi Cuchi for a long time, but never quite made it there. A friend of mine who also has Celiac Disease told me about their amazing gluten free menu and their lengthy exotic cocktail menu. It sounded like a match made in heaven to me.
