Test your food for the presence of gluten with NIMA by 6Senorlabs.  This small device can fit inside of a purse or the inside pocket of a man's jacket.  Test one or multiple items on your plate.  A happy face indicates there is no gluten.  A sad face indicates there is gluten.  No more eating out on the honor system. Results are provided in a few seconds. I discovered this product at the GFAF Expo.  I have pre-ordered my NIMA.  It is expected to ship early in 2016.  To order your NIMA go to [email protected]

Cheerios Are Gluten Free

8/11/2015

I was amazed and pleased to find Cheerios are gluten free and in my local food store! Cherrios are more than a breakfast cereal. You can mix them with raisins, dried fruits and create a tasty lunch box snack. Having a party, make Cheerios squares by combining butter (or a vegan spread) with marshmellows and Cherrios. Of course you can eat them as cereal. In the winter, try Cherrios with warm rice or almond milk.   I tried this cereal straight from the box, without any milk or sugar.  I can honestly say that I like this cereal.  I think children and adults will both enjoy this cereal.

Swiss Chard

In addition to the beautiful color of its stems, Swiss chard is loaded with nutrients.  Swiss chard has vitamins K, A, and C.  It is also contains magnesium, potassium, iron, and fiber. The thick stalks are red, white, yellow, or green. All have a mildly bitter taste.  Swiss chard will make any dish visually pleasing with its colorful stems.  Try Swiss chard in a salad, sautéed as a side dish or as a vegetable in your favorite soup.

13 Years Gluten Free - Celebrate With Me!

August marks the 13th anniversary of my diagnosis of Celiac Disease!  This diagnosis was the best thing that ever happened to me.  I have been blogging and creating videos for almost one year.  I am certain that all of my gluten free and custom eating babies know that I love to cook and bake.  I also love to eat sweet treats.  In 2002 it was extremely difficult for me to give up birthday cake.  My sister Tonda, always make a big deal about my birthday. When I started my gluten free journey birthdays and other celebrations that revolved around food seemed to loose their charm.  I could not find any sweet treats that actually had a good (or okay) taste.

We have come a long way custom eating babies!  The cake pictures in this blog post are from my nephew's birthday (2014) .  I baked Darren a four tier cake with alternating layers of raspberry and chocolate with a raspberry buttercream and chocolate ganache frosting.  This cake looked wonderful and had a great taste.  My nephew does not have Celiac Disease or any custom eating needs.  Eating a gluten free cake on his birthday was a sign of support and dedication to ensuring that I am healthy and able to fully participate in events. 

Custom eating is so much easier when you have a strong support system.  I dedicated my victory of being 13th years gluten free, I also salute my family and friends for being support warriors and forward thinkers.  I would not be where I am today without my support system.


Luv you all!!
XOXOXOX

Herb Garden

Have you considered planting herbs indoors?  It is simple and low maintenance.  All you need are flower pots, seeds, dirt, sunlight, warmth and a little TLC for your plants.  An indoor herb garden can provide an amazing cooking experience.  You can pick herbs for your dishes on demand.  Most of all planting your own herbs ensures that your spices are organic and GMO free.  If you are uncertain where to start, take a look at some of the herbs in my indoor garden:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB9-WNj9AJY

Tomatoes

#June FunFood Never underestimate the power of Tomatoes.  Tomatoes are a rich source of vitamins A and C and folic acid. Tomatoes contain a wide array of beneficial nutrients and antioxidants, including alpha-lipoic acid, lycopene, choline, folic acid, beta-carotene and lutein.  As plant food consumption goes up, the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer goes down. High fruit and vegetable intake is also associated with healthy skin and hair, increased energy and lower weight. Increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables significantly decreases the risk of obesity and overall mortality.

According to the
American Cancer Society, some studies have shown that people who have diets rich in tomatoes may have a lower risk of certain types of cancer, especially cancers of the prostate, lung, and stomach.  Choline is an important nutrient found in tomatoes that helps with sleep, muscle movement, learning and memory. Choline also helps to maintain the structure of cellular membranes, aids in the transmission of nerve impulses, assists in the absorption of fat and reduces chronic inflammation.

Tomatoes also come in a variety of colors red, orange, yellow and green.  They are healthy, have great taste and can make any dish look attractive .

Stringbeans

#JuneFunFood Stringbeans are available all year.  However the best time to eat them is during the summer and the fall.  Stringbeans contain several vitamins such as K, C, A, B1, B2, B3, Iron, Folate, Calcium and Potassium.  In addition to being a dietary fiber, they contain Omega 3 Fatty Acids.  Stringbeans are incredibly low in calories.  They are great as a cooked side dish, in a salad or as a snack between meals.  When purchasing fresh stringbreans look for a bright green color.  Avoid stringbeans with dark marks and blemishes.  If all else fails, listen for the snapping sound that the stringbean makes when broken as an indicator of its freshness.  Look at the picture included with this post.  These stringbeans are from my local farmers' market.  They look so wonderful.  Don't miss out on this June fun food

Homemade Gluten Free Ice Cream

Glutens are hidden in so many food products.  It can be frustrating finding a sweet treat for yourself or the family.  I make my own ice cream using a hand mixer.  It is quick, easy and gluten free.  I used strawberries in this recipe, but you can use the fruit of your choice.  This recipe only has three ingredients:  heavy cream, strawberries and vanilla extract.  I have chosen NOT to add sugar, however you can do so.  You can add one or multiple fruits. This ice cream has an old fashion ice cream taste, specifically you can really taste the cream.!  This is something that is missing from the manufactured ice cream brands sold in stores.  Here is the link to the preparation video tutorial:

I hope you will try it and let me know what you think. 

XOXOXOX
