Gluten: Do I have an Issue with Gluten?

7/8/2014

0 Comments

 
Delving deeper into what Gluten is, and the issues that the body may experience when dealing with it, Doctor Peter Osborne goes into the differences between Gluten Sensitivity, Celiac Disease, Gluten intolerance and why the body manifests soooo many other symptoms and conditions that are associated with Gluten but not linked to it.

This is interesting for those with the question:  "I have gone gluten free, so why do I still not feel well?"
Dr. Hagmeyer discusses Gluten and other ingredients that may be causing a cross reaction in those who are not getting well on the traditional Gluten Free Diet.  I was surprised to learn that Coffee is one of those for me, but it definitely explains some things. :)

This is a great starting point for those looking to answer the question, "What is Gluten, and Why is it so bad for me?" Here Dr. Glidden, a well know Naturopath, explains what Gluten is, and why more than just those with Celiac Disease, suffer from Gluten related health issues.

Easy-Peasy Homemade Pancakes

7/3/2014

0 Comments

 
After Costco discontinued my favorite Flour mix for pancakes,  I was at a loss until I found this recipe on glutenfreebread.org.  It's so simple and tastes great!  Woot woot! :)
Picture
Ingredients:


1 Cup White Rice Flour
1 Tbs. Sugar
2 tsp. Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt


Whisk together all dry ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl.  Then, in a small mixing bowl, whisk together:


1 Cup Milk  (I used almond)
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1 Egg
2 Tbls. Oil


Once wet ingredients are whisked together, pour them into the dry ingredient bowl and whisk all ingredients together for about 30-45 sec.  If it's is slightly lumpy that's ok.  It's better to be slightly lumpy than over stirred.


Cook on low to medium heat until cooked through.  I slow cook mine in butter so that the butter doesn't go bad (turn brown) and they not only turn out yummy, but pretty tool!


Makes: 6-8 pancakes




*I Tripled this recipe so that I could freeze some and have them on hand for the week.  Freezing is easy-peasy too.  Once the pancakes are cooked, lay them flat on a cookie sheet. (Don't stack them on top of each other)  Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes. This makes it so they will not stick together when you refreeze them.   Remove them from the freezer and then place the quantity of your choice into a sandwich sized freezer zip bag (I do 2-3 per bag depending on size).  Date each bag and place them back into the freezer.

I love having these pre-made for my guys to grab and warm up in the mornings, or even for a quick dinner.  If they are not pre-made though, I love even more that they are so quick to make!  Enjoy!


Thank you glutenfreebread.org for this awesome recipe!  You can Check out the original Recipe Here.

"Fast Food" Ideas

7/2/2014

My day goes much smoother and my brain functions much better when I have 2 or 3 of these ideas made up all the time.   One of the overwhelming things for me about eating Gluten Free was the prep time for making food, and I don't know about you, but if I get too hungry, I get cranky. Once I started making these, I was able to relax more and focus on the bigger food items.  They are definitely worth the little time they take to prepare. :)  These are not only easy to make, but fairly inexpensive as well, depending on the time of year.  The best part is the variations are endless so let your imagination run wild! :)
Picture
Tropical Fruit Cups:  Kiwi, Canned Pineapple and        Strawberries
Picture
Veggies Snack Bags:  Carrots, Celery, Sugar Snap Peas  and Grape Tomatoes
Picture
Trail Mix Snack Bags:  Raw almonds added to bulk trail  mix from Winco.
(Winco has a fantastic selection of different bulk trail mixes or individual nut options.)
Picture
Jello Snack Cups:  Lime and Raspberry
*My guys love Jello but I don't necessarily want them to have a tons of sugar all the time.  These are made once in a while. :)

    If you have decided to go Gluten Free, and are staring blankly, and slightly hyperventilating about what that really means, You are in the right place. :)  I was doing just that about a year ago and see, I survived to tell about, and you will too.  Take a Deep Breath and exhale sloooowly. You can do this!  It is going to take patience and perseverance and a willingness to stand up for this life changing decision, but I promise your body will thank you.  My goal here is to help make your transition as easy as possible. You have picked a great time to go Gluten Free as the resources and product availability have never been better.  So, Take another deep breath, and let's get to it!
