Happy Monday! I hope you’ll check out the second half of my interview with the National Peanut Board today. We’re chatting about gluten-free kitchens and the biggest misconceptions about celiac disease. Click here for Part 2. Click here for Part 1.
The National Peanut Board blog asked me to share my celiac story this month. I’m talking about the challenges of being diagnosed with celiac disease as an adult, and what I’ve learned so far. You can read part one here. I also want to point you to this post by Gluten Dude and encourage you to sign the petition against bullying. I don’t know whether Joe or Leila will…
{Giveaway has now ended. You can find the recipe at the bottom of the post.} One thing I’ve missed since going gluten-free is pizza night. Oh sure, we’ve had a few pizza nights using frozen gluten-free crusts, but it’s SO not the same as homemade. And it’s not nearly as much fun either, especially for my little helpers.

I was overwhelmed with the complexities of eating out, reading food labels, and how to handle social situations. Those things are still challenging, but getting easier as I adjust to this new kind of life. This May I’ll be focusing more on…
So many of you passed along your prayers and positive thoughts today (thank you) that I didn’t want to leave you hanging. I saw my GI doctor this morning at 8:30 (and got to hug Erica at 8:20 in the lobby). She explained that my celiac disease had pretty much resolved and that my gut looked healthy during my last scope. She feels like the issues I’m currently experiencing might…
