If you have been reading my blog for any time at all, you know I don’t do product reviews very often. I have to be head-over-heels about a product to devote an entire post to it. Well, this new gluten-free bread is very exciting for our family and I couldn’t wait to share it with you! Canyon Bakehouse sent me three of their products to try last week, a loaf…
Ever since my celiac diagnosis last August, I have been planning a comeback race. After feeling weak and tired for so long, I couldn’t wait to start training for an event. Any kind of event that would show the return of my strength, the return back to normal. First I planned to do an Urbanathalon 5k in the fall, but my back went out. I thought I could at least…
Since being diagnosed with celiac disease in August, I have learned to be prepared with a bag full of snacks at all times. I never know when I’ll be stuck in a situation with no gluten-free food in sight. I’m sure I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface on trying gluten-free products.

When the kids are screaming, the dishes are piled high, and I have a…
Yesterday afternoon, we decided to head out to California to visit family. Because it was a last minute decision, I didn’t have time to plan and pack food as I would normally have. I had a few snacks to throw into a bag including a Larabar, some almonds, and some fruit, but what would I have for dinner? As we pulled into the halfway point to get gas and food,…
Last weekend was a busy one. We had friends visiting, lots of swimming, and a few meals eaten away from home. While I was careful to specify my diet restrictions to the restaurant staff, I still managed to get sick.
