When selecting treats for Easter and Passover, please be sure to read labels carefully. If you cannot determine if gluten is an ingredient, please remember when in doubt do without. The Celiac Organization has posted a link on how to identify gluten listed in ingredients and candy that is gluten free. To view this list, please go to:

I love facial and body scrubs, but shopping in stores that do not disclose their full ingredients on products has made it difficult to buy these products. I have created three gluten free DIY products that you can make at home. They are simple, quick and the ingredients can be purchased in your local supermarket and beauty supply store.

Happy Holidays and I hope you enjoy the video!  This weekend my sister and I went to a local crepe eatery in Montclair, NJ that claimed to make gluten free crepes. I was really excited about trying this dish. Unfortunately my excitement turned to disgust. It was true that the eatery used a gluten free batter, but prepared the batter on the same grill with the batters made with gluten. So in reality this eatery is offering cross contaminated food to people with Celiac Disease, wheat and gluten sensitivities. I have decided not publish the name of this establishment. I am also certain that there a tons of other establishments making this same error. So I would like to offer some advice to these food vendors. Do not sell gluten free products if you do not understand what it means to be gluten free. Do your research! Learn how to prepare, cook and store foods in a manner that avoids cross contamination. Train your staff on how to serve and prepare food for people with food allergies. Remember that being gluten free may be a quick way for you to make a buck (as it is the in thing), but for people with Celiac Disease, wheat and gluten sensitivities it is a medical condition and you are placing our physical health in danger. I recommend that your establishment become certified gluten free if you really want to attract the gluten free community. There are three organizations that certify products/places as being gluten free: Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), the Celiac Spruce Association (CSA), and the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA). This will demonstrate that you are truly offering gluten free products that meet a regulated standard.

Here’s to the delight of gluten-free cooking! XOXOX Dawn  Breaded Spinach Eggplant Parmesan (Featuring Schar Gluten Free Bread Crumbs)
Ingredients Schar Gluten Free Bread Crumbs Pasta Sauce (2 jars) Spinach (1 pound optional – you can use more or less) Eggplants (2 are adequate for one pan) Ricotta Cheese (1 large container) Mozzarella Cheese (4 cups) 1 Onion 1 Red Pepper 1 Garlic Bud Olive Oil Sea Salt Pepper Step 1: Prep Work Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Wash the outside of the eggplant, dry and peel the skin Cut the eggplant into slices (the slices should resemble sliced bread) Place the sliced eggplant in a container or bowl and set aside Rinse and chop the red pepper and tomato then place in a bowl and set aside Chop the onion and entire garlic bud add to the bowl with the red pepper and tomato Rinse and coarsely chop the spinach, place in a bowl and set aside Place a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet and heat with a low flame Add the following into the skillet with olive oil: the onions, red pepper, garlic and tomatoes. Sauté with low heat until slightly cooked Salt and pepper to taste Remove mixture from the skillet, place in a bowl and set aside Step 2: Prepare the Eggplant Empty the package of Schar Bread Crumbs into a bowl, plate, platter or cutting board Fill a clean bowl with water Dip the sliced eggplant one by one into the water and then into the Schar Bread Crumbs Coat both sides of the eggplant with the bread crumbs Repeat this step until all of the sliced eggplant is coated with bread crumbs In a clean skillet add a generous amount of olive oil and heat with a low flame Place the slices of breaded eggplant into the skillet, cook on both sides until golden, remove from the skillet and place on top a paper towel on a plate (or platter). Continue this process until all of the eggplant is cooked. Step 3: Assemble the Dish Add a small amount of pasta sauce to the bottom of a pan. This will prevent the breaded eggplant for sticking or burning while in the oven. Layer the breaded eggplant slices until the bottom of the pan is completely covered. It is okay for the slices of eggplant to overlap. Cover the breaded eggplant with the sautéed onion, garlic, tomato, red pepper mixture. Add a layer of spinach, topped with mozzarella and ricotta cheese. Repeat these steps until you reach to the top of the pan. Make sure the final (or top layer) consists of breaded eggplant topped with pasta sauce and mozzarella cheese. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, place in the oven and cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove pan from the oven, uncover and let side for 20 minutes. Your dish is ready to serve.
