This is a restaurant that used to be on my favorites list.  It is now on the Do Not Go If You Are Celiac List.  This restaurant, that although wants to cater to their customers, does not cater easily to the gluten-free.  I find that their wait staff is extremely non-understanding of the disease or the intolerance.  It is a shame.   The last time I was there was a few weeks ago.  Our waiter was horrid.  I left the restaurant appalled, with a vow of never to return.  It is belgium food.  And most of the foods there are fish, stews, chicken and mussels with various sauces.  I usually get White Wine Mussels and a salad when I go, because for the most part, the menu is not gluten free friendly, but I always know I'm safe with this meal.  Regardless of being safe, I always alert my waiter that I have a gluten-allergy.  I explain it very clearly, and I always ask the waiter to alert the chef, even if I always order the same thing.  I want my waiter to know the severity, and I need

Spangler Candy Canes are gluten-free! (All Spangler  candy is, and is made on GF equipment.  In fact their entire factory is free of gluten-fyi) In case you didn't know, and this post is super late, almost past the point...but just in case you didn't know...Most candy canes are NOT gluten-free.  It's a real shame.  And who knew?!  I mentioned Candy Canes in my Gluten-Free 101  section while talking of Hidden Gluten about a year ago, but I will mention it here in more depth.   Last year when I had my tree up, and kept taking all the candy canes and eating them, a bit here and a bit there.  After about 3 days, I started to REALLY notice my Gluten symptoms (hair loss, hives, breakouts...the whole 9 yards).  But I kept thinking it was something else.  Something I was ingesting and not realizing.  I racked my brains trying to figure it out and only came up with cross-contamination.  Never thinking the candy I was eating daily during the holidays was causing suc

Just found these at my grocer last week and they are gluten-free!  Even the Tortoni's!  These Italian desserts are package individually and come with 2 or more in each package.  Ice cream is Ice cream but did you ever think you'd be able to have a Tortoni again or Praline Pecan Truffles or even Spumoni?   Well these versions are made with Gelato and gluten-free ingredients. I had to buy one to taste before I blogged about it...yeah that's what I tell myself...It's for the blog.  Anyways, I chose the Spumoni.  An even mix of Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanilla made with swirls or cherry and nuts.  What can I say, I'm nuts for Spumoni's!  The brand is a branch of off the supermaket Food Emporium.  It is called The Food Emporium Trading Company.  Now Food Emporium has been the last market on the spectrum to carry or support Celiac Disease.  It's the market I go to because I like their produce, but I have been waiting.  Lately and slowly they are bringin

Everyone always thinks that Mexican food is gluten-free.  What a general statement.  Everyone knows that the flour tortillas are a no go, but we all tend to think that if it is corn based it must be gluten-free.  This is not the case.  Qdoba fast food Mexicana chain is not gluten-free.  In fact the only product you can have there is go figure there cheese sauce and their guacamole.  That's it!  No taco, no burrito, no corn tortilla...ZIP, ZILCH...NOTHING. Qdoba is very clear about gluten on their website and in their ingredients list.  So to all of my Gluten-free peeps, steer clear of this chain! xoxo Julie http://www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com/

**found in Karina's Gluten-Free Goddess Blog Recipe 1: 1/4 cup bicarbonate soda (baking soda) 1/2 cup cream of tarter Recipe 2: 1/3 cup baking soda 2/3 cup cream of tarter 2/3 cup arrowroot or potato starch Mix well.  Store in an air tight container. 1-1 1/2 tsp of this mixture = 1 tsp. of regular baking powder You an also buy pre-made baking powder such as Bob's Red Mill , Hain's  (corn free and gf), BarKat , Davis,  Bakewell  or Rumford (which is what I always use-and so easy to find in the markets). Now you can use the above to create your own baking soda or you can just use baking powder you have found in the market.  It depends on what you trust. And the tricky part is, is that some baking powders are not gluten-free.  You must read the ingredients.  What most people don't know is that baking powder consists of an Moisture Absorption Agent that is usually made with corn, but not always.  Many times it can be wheat based.  Plan ahe

I found this one while researching GF recipes online on  Karina's Gluten-Free Goddess Blog.   I always find great GF treasures...I found this post extremely helpful during my baking adventures... GF Pastry Flour Mixture 60g (2 oz) cornstartch (maize cornflour) (try Bob's Red Mill) 3/4 cup non-instant dry milk powder 1 1/2 cups coconut  120g (4 oz) melted butter Simply mix and press into a dish.  This isn't exactly pastry, so don't roll it. To replace the gluten: If you simply take the gluten out of your baking, you are likely to have disappointing results.  Gluten is the sticky stuff which helps prevent your baked goodies from crumbling.  It also traps pockets of air, improving the texture of your bread, cakes, cookies and biscuits. Bakers replace it with Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum.  Xanthan Gum is a natural product made from Xanthomonas Campestris.  This microorganism is grown in the lab for its cell coat, which is dried and ground to form xa

Keep in mind that changing one piece of the GF flour recipe will change THE ENTIRE RECIPE.  Gluten-free flours are tricky.  Just one change and boom, you have an new combo.  Sometimes the results are treasures and other times garbage.  But you have to experiment to figure out what works. So the Millet Flour Base recipe will taste VERY DIFFERENT from your White Rice Flour Base.  You would also use them for different things.  For example-The white rice flour recipe I would use in cakes and cookies like a choco

While doing research for another post, I came across Frito Lay in the midst.  I have always been wary about buying processed junk food, worried that it might contain gluten.  Up until my research today, I always steered clear of anything Frito Lay, and I just found out that I don't have to.  I ended up steering away from my original research to take a gander at their website.  Frito Lay is quite the health conscious brand!  Their website has a tab for the gluten-sensitive.  Who knew!? There are many products from Frito Lay that are gluten-free.  However, Frito Lay informs the gluten-sensitive that although they do wash the machines between batches, it is possible that there could be cross-contamination due to gluten residue from the machinery being shared with other gluten ingredients.  Depending on how sensitive you are, please keep this in mind. On that note, there is one junk food product that Frito Lay makes ON GLUTEN FREE LINES is the Lays Stax Crisps Baked Dori

Oh boy, is this recipe needed for any cook in the house who is gluten-free! I tend to make my own flour blends by purely experimenting, but I do actually use a few that I have found on the internet.   If you are a baker like me, your first thoughts after going GF will be about baked goods.  When I went GF I stayed away from cakes, cookies, pies and cupcakes.  A favorite past time of mine stunted by the truth of my Gluten Allergy.  So sad.  Baking became foreign to me.  At first, I felt that I would never be able to bake again, let alone taste a scrumptious piece of Cake!  But then I decided to embrace Celiac Disease and  I started baking again, and have been ever since.   However, it took me a while to get here.  And some of you may just be starting out, or need a quick fix...and easy recipe.  Easy to follow.   GF Self Rising Flour 2 Tbsp potato flour 1 Cup white rice flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp cream of tarter 1 tsp xanthan gum Enjoy!! xoxo Julie

Three cheers for Skinny Cow!  I often used to find myself standing and starring in the ice cream isle wondering what was, and what was not gluten-free.  Sometimes ingredients are not always accurate.  On occasions you will find a product that doesn't state gluten, but when researching it on their website seeing confirmed gluten in either the product or the processing can sometimes be misleading.  After passing by Skinny Cow many times, I finally took the box home and called the number on the box.  I researched it.  And I found that my fav fudge pops are gluten-free.  Yeah! I feel I must share the news, because for all of you missing the idea of the ice cream truck...now you don't have to.  Indulge in Skinny Cow!  For those of you curious and seek the Questionaire section of the website click  HERE .   Chocolate Truffle Bars  are gluten free and nut free.   Caramel Truffle Bars  are gluten free and nut free.   White Mint Truffle Bars  as well as  French Vanilla
