I can’t take credit for these tasty nuggets. My mom made a batch and sent a container home with me a few weeks ago. They were for the kids. I ate them all. Oops. I thought I should make it up to them, so I made a batch. Then another. Then another. We have been having them once a week ever since. Partly because they’re so easy, partly because…

I headed to the store and grabbed a bunch of basil and a hunk of parmesan. Two pricey items if you’re not at Trader Joe’s. Then I set out to search…
It’s May 1st and the beginning of Celiac Awareness Month. Oh, how aware I’ve become. Last May, I was still sorting through the newness of having celiac disease. 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…
