Gluten Free Showcase| Toffee Cheesecake w. Graham Cracker Crust

Oh heavens me. This. was. divine. And like nothing I ever thought I’d be able to eat back when I was first diagnosed with gluten intolerance. When I went gluten free in May of 09, after receiving a ‘positive’ test for gliadin antibodies, I didn’t know what I’d eat when I wanted to have a treat [...]

RK Tip of the Week|Hey baby, what’s cookin’?

Remember that ad jingle, “I feel like chicken tonight…chicken tonight!” I can say that most nights of the week, I do not agree. I rarely feel like chicken tonight & I’d imagine if you’ve been doing the “healthy kick” since Jan 1, you’ve been doing a lot of baked chicken for its’ healthy-ness & may [...]

PMA: A few minutes of tasty, remember your youth, goodness

Remember LO-VING PB & J as a kid? Or were you one of those kids who didn’t like sticky, sweet, gooey PB & J for breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Well as weird as you must be, you can join the “cool kids” as an adult with this healthy but ridiculously good Larabar.
I don’t know about you, [...]

Think eating Gluten Free is boring? Eat this.

This would be a Key Lime Pie, home made, that is completely Gluten Free – yes, even the crust. If there were one thing that were annoying about being GF, it would be that even though I can still enjoy the cheesecake part of a cheesecake when served at special occasions, no one was making a [...]

This year, you should take a serious look at Gluten Free living

What a fantastic thing to wake up in the New Year & read THIS! A huge front page article on Huffington Post detailing how gluten is such a dangerous protein to much of the population! I’ve spent almost 1 year living Gluten Free & over the months, my passion for others going GF to live [...]

Gluten Free Showcase: Like eating a mouthful of raspberries!

I learned the word ’serendipity’ in grade school – and never really got to use it in a sentence after that. Well today is finally the day! It was serendipitous that I came across this Gluten Free gem of a dessert & I think you’ll agree once you try it – lucky lucky you when [...]

Gluten Free Showcase: An energy bar you can really get behind

I was sent this recipe by a high school friend who, through the magic of Facebook, I was able to reconnect with a while back. At our high school reunion, I learned she’d gone vegan around the same time I discovered Gluten Free living & boy did we have plenty to talk about! 
Stop rolling your [...]

Making holiday appetizers, treats, & cocktails work for you

As the holiday season crescendos & sputters out in the next two weeks, you’ve either been stuffing your face with cookies, cakes & eggnog – not caring what happens to your waistline, your health, or your blood sugar - or you’ve been scrambling to figure out how many workouts you need to do to hang in [...]

RK Tip of the Week|Eat well, live long – An interview with The Doctor

Two of the easiest (and cheapest!) things you can do to manage your health are -exercise & -eat well. Of late, there has been a massive over-saturation of food-products that claim to help “lower this!” or ”increase your fiber intake that!” (very few of which actually are what they claim). This over-saturation does make it more challenging to know what is truly [...]

One fine dinner…eating well regardless of location

Americans eat out. Alot. It’s common to head to the restaurants to celebrate the holidays, to enjoy the company of friends, to mark an anniversary or birthday, and because it’s Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, etc. It’s often the only place where we actually sit down to a table with people we call relatives! Because certainly at [...]
