How does some gluten free coconut macaroon cherry bombs sound? Mmmm. These treats are also perfect for the patriotic holidays, Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day, because they are red, white and blue! Chuck full of coconut goodness. And I love me some coconut. Basically any coconut flavored baked good is my weakness. Until I was diagnosed with celiac disease that is. For the longest time View Post
Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip
When you are living gluten free, desserts are extremely hard to come by. Basically you have to get creative and find out what works for you or even make your own entirely. I've found that it's not that difficult to make my own. Just takes a bit of thinking outside of the box. I'm in no way a cook or baker so it's not an option to create my very own recipe entirely. I'll mostly take existing View Post
Gluten Free In St Louis: The Block
I love living in St Louis and I love all the great restaurants that we have here. Tons and tons of yummy things to eat. A big stress for me when I found out that I have celiac disease was whatever would I be able to eat??? Could I still eat out in our fine city? Were there any options to eat gluten free in St Louis? How would I learn where I could eat? Well the answer is yes I can still eat View Post
How To Live Gluten Free In The Lou
When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease I definitely went through the stages of grief. Okay I'm still in the stages actually. Grief is a long process. I've experienced loss before and I do feel somewhat odd comparing this diagnosis to the loss of a loved one. It seems almost trivial. To compare my change of eating habits to losing someone close to me? But in many ways it's just like View Post
Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mint Dessert Recipe
Right now I have some really yummy cookies in my dining room. Lots and lots of yummy cookies. Girl Scout cookies. Thin mint cookies. Samoa cookies. All the cookies that I can't eat. Blast you, celiac disease thing. Blast you. Ugh. I totally missed out on Girl Scout cookie season. Not dandy. But... Just because I can't indulge in the Girl Scout cookies anymore doesn't mean that I'm going to leave View Post
Gluten Free Heart Shaped Personal Pizzas
As you all know Valentine's Day fell on a Sunday this year. For us Sundays are a special day where we go to church and then just spend time together as a family. We choose not to shop or eat out on Sunday. It's just what we do. In past years the husband and I have went out for dinner just the two of us. With the holiday falling on the Sabbath we were presented with the opportunity to not just View Post
I Have Celiac Disease
Deep breath in... I have celiac disease. (Said super fast and almost unrecognizable.) There. I said it. Out loud. Well kind of out loud. But I said it. This admission has taken a while to be forthcoming with publicly. A few people know and it has slowly been coming out, but for the most part I've kept this bit of information guarded. Why the hesitation? Well for starters I only just View Post
MealEnders Review: Craving Control Lozenges
I know today is the 1st of March, and the whole "New Year's Resolutions" bit has lost it's excitement. You're either right on track for accomplishing your goals, you've decided to focus on other things, or you're in need of a little modification to keep being successful. I was given the opportunity to do a MealEnders review and giveaway for MealEnders lozenges. At first I wasn't sure about doing View Post
