NYT-Should We All Go Gluten Free?
An interesting article for those on a gluten free diet.
New York Times magazine article
Dr. Fasano’s study
Years ago our family participated in Dr. Fasano’s “incidence of celiac disease in the U.S. study” discussed in this article, that is how we discovered our asymptomatic daughter had celiac disease. At the time our son was the only known celiac in the family. Both children have had intestinal biopsies to confirm celiac disease. By receiving a firm diagnosis from a gastroenterologist, we were inspired to eliminate all gluten from their diets. For the asymptomatic teenager, a clinical diagnosis also helps with compliance issues that invariably arise. read more…

The Season of One Pot Meals
Gluten Free Ratio Rally-Pizza
In our house pizza is a necessity.
I keep at least one extra crust in the freezer at all times which means a simple pizza can be ready in about 15 minutes. We have tried many gluten free pizza crusts over the years and while this one still doesn’t taste exactly like a wheat-made crust, it is hands down the best gluten free pizza crust I have ever tasted, though new ideas are always appreciated……. read more…
Healthy Ideas
Joy Bauer was in Seattle this past week the keynote speaker at a Health and Wellness Fair I attended for my new job. She was fantastic!
As the nutrition and health expert for The TODAY Show she has developed quite a following and I have to admit I had never heard of her before the event but now I will make an effort to follow her on Facebook.
You expect to hear the usual recommendations in a presentation like this but she had such an interesting twist. Not only is she a great public speaker but the entire talk revolved around her top three food picks for specific health benefits: heart, mood, aches and pains, memory and losing weight. It’s very easy to incorporate her ideas since she provided it in small bites–so to speak.
