Jennifer Esposito Speaks Celiac Disease

One of my favorite actresses!  She has played such great characters and all my favorite cancelled shows like Samantha Who and varying other ones I can't remember the names of, but remember her character.  Well we all knew Jennifer was gluten-free, I had done a post on her a while back-a brief post.  But now after 2 years of her diagnosis Jennifer is getting smart.  Jennifer cares about the gluten-free world.  She wants to educate those who are unaware or struggling with the same disease.  My step-sister sent me a post from Grub Street on Jennifer, Celiac Disease and eating gluten-free.  It's definitely worthy to check out, as she reviews a very gf friendly restaurant in nyc called Goat Town.  I think I may need to make a ressie!  

In addition Jennifer will have her very own line of gf products.  I think this might be a very worthy product and no, not because Jennifer is an actress or a celebrity...more because of her diagnosis.  When you are diagnosed with CD or have a gluten-intolerance it feels really good to know you are not alone out there and that there are others who care and want to help.  I just spent some time on her blog before I decided to write this.  It's called Jennifer's way.  I love the blog.  There are not many posts yet because it is fairly new, but I see a lot of potential.  I read Jennifer's story, and just reading it makes me want to reach out.  Her story is so well written and reminds me of similar situations I went through myself.  I'll never forget going to trillions of doctor's for what seemed like a decade if not more and remembering all doctor's looking at me like I was crazy, telling me everything was fine and nothing was wrong, or it was in my head, or it was this or that, but never CD.  

It takes a lot of courage to rise above all doctor's that tell you everything you believe or think about your body is in fact wrong.  It takes strength to rise above and know your body and listen to your body, even if an "expert" is telling you otherwise.   

Interested in what Jennifer eats gluten-free?

Enjoy! xoxo Julie

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com

The Original Fudgsicle Mishap

                             My Grocery Cart About 3 months ago I was in the market as usual,  doing my weekly grocery shopping, in the second to last row: the freezer section.  I wanted my weekly fudge pop indulgence.  I grabbed the package in the backity back!! The most frozen one I could find, and decided to blog this wonderful gluten free treat.  I realized I had never blogged about this fudge pop being gluten-free, and how silly of me to keep this tid bit to myself.  So I grabbed my phone to take a picture of the front and back of the box.  I gasped! omg, omg, omg.  I starred at the ingredients.  MALT FLOUR.  Yikes!  No way!  It can't be.  How come I never noticed this before?  Did the ingredients change?  Was it always like this?  Something had to have changed and then to top it off I noticed at the bottom of the ingredient...
