Yesterday morning started out like every other Saturday morning.  I get up around 7:30, (since the alarm goes off at 4:30 the rest of the week, that’s sleeping in for me), get dressed, start the coffee, take the dogs out for their morning walk/run, (the 3 year old lab runs, the 10 year limps/walks).  We come back, I fire up the computer, feed the dogs, grab a cup of coffee and check my email. 

 But yesterday…

This is always the time when I start making my  New Years Resolutions. 

One of my biggest resolutions this year is eating more healthy.  Although I try to eat a well balanced diet everyday Read the rest of this entry »

Well after much baking, cooking, and measuring, my new cookbook is finally for sale.  As you can probably figure out from the title of this post, it is called Gluten Free Get-Togethers and you can find it for sale at Easy Gluten Free Foods. 

Now let me give you a little background on how this cookbook came to be.  If you’ve been reading this blog for a while then you know that I have been a Celiac since 1987.  For a very long time I “did without” all the goodies that I had loved before my diagnosis.  But then I started missing all the great party foods and lets face it,  the “Parties” too.  So I decided that I would take all the foods that I had loved before Celiac Disease and make them gluten free.

Now, I have been making the gluten free recipes in this cookbook for well over 15 years, but anyone who cooks a lot can tell you that you can get so familiar with a recipe that you stop measuring the ingredients and that’s pretty much what happened with me.  But then I went to a live internet marketing event that totally changed my life.  This cookbook is the direct result of that event. 

Now let me tell you a little about the cookbook.  I think the title says it all.  When people get together for any reason, parties, picnics, potlucks, everything revolves around the food.  But when you’re a celiac or gluten intolerant, you have to worry about everything surrounding food.

In Gluten Free Get-Togethers I show you exactly how you can be a part of the party scene again without worrying so much about things like cross contamination when attending a party, how to host a party without fear of your condiments being contaminated, and most importantly, how to host a party and have food that you can safely eat, but your guests will never guess are eating gluten free.

This cookbook has a variety of foods from appetizers to casseroles to breads, desserts, and muffins.

This was a labor of love for me and I hope you find it helpful too.  Especially right now as we head into the most food oriented time of the year.
