Gluten Free

Costco is a wonderful source of gluten free food. However, their website features features only nine ‘safe’ items, and those items would only be of interest to people who were buying in extremely large quantities. You will probably be interested in this two-part article written by an customer who lives gluten free. The escellent photographs [...]

May is Celiac Awareness Month. I have been living with Celiacs for 5 years now. It gets easier every year since so many amazing products keep coming out on the market. I try hard not to pick favorites between companies that produce the gf food that nourishes my body. I want to always go into testing a product with an open mind. No comparisons. Let the product stand alone. I was really good at that until Udi's came into my life. Udi's made me LOVE GF bread. The cookies, the muffins...every product I have tried is exceptional.So, while I love trying new foods, I always seem to come back to Udi's. So, in honor of my absolute favorite GF company and Celiac Month, I bring you UDI'S WEEK!!! To start it off, I bring you old reviews (and slightly embarrassing ones with videos!): Muffins Pizza Crust Check back tomorrow for a brand new review!!!

I’ve decided to add a weekly post about interesting recipes, ideas, and tips for living well I’ve come across during the week. Lately I’ve been more active on Pinterest, and thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites with you. This week has been super hectic. We’re moving in just two weeks. We’ll still be in Dallas, just a little farther north than we currently are. Nate seems to unpack boxes faster than I can pack them, or he’s into something else that makes an even bigger mess. I don’t mind it at all. I love this age! I get so much joy from watching him explore the world around him. With the move right around the corner and baby number two due in just over two months, there will be a lot of change in our lives. I’m hoping all will go smoothly but am prepared to work with whatever comes up. Being flexible is not my strong suit, but I practice it daily. I’m also determined to be armed with completely safe, homemade cleaners once we’re in the new house. It’s been a process I’ve been working on since Nate was born and even more so since he started moving around. He loves to be right by my side while I’m cleaning so it’s imperative that anything I use won’t harm him. These are just some of the things I’ve been pinning, cooking, reading, and using. I’d love to connect with you during the week on Pinterest and Facebook, too!

Yes, kasha is gluten free. Kasha is simply roasted buckwheat groats, so there may be differences that are important to chefs,  but none that matter to people who live gluten free. I had to look up the term ‘groats’ in order to write this article. I found out that groats are simply kernals (of any [...]

The Daily Dietribe Gluten Free Health Challenge is a six month challenge that will begin on June 1st and end on November 30th, 2013. During this time period, 7 women will get free gluten free health coaching, free group workshops on food and emotions, and the opportunity to share their stories here.Four of those women have already been chosen. Today, you get to pick the final three.I've replaced my normal tabs above with the names of each contestant. These are all women who have written in to share their stories with you and me. I am so proud of each one of them. Many of them I've "known" over the years as readers of my blog, but now I am finally getting to know their stories. They have all shared openly and honestly, something that you know I try to do here at The Daily Dietribe.I ask that you read each of their stories and then take the survey linked here and at the bottom of each of their posts. The survey will allow you to choose your top three contestants. Those are the women whose stories you would like to hear more of for the next six months. The survey will also ask you a few questions about what else you want to see here during the challenge. Don't worry, there are only 4 questions total. It will take you less than 5 minutes to complete!If you have time, please also consider leaving supportive comments for these women under their posts. It was so brave of them to share with us all, and I want them to know what a wonderful community they have here, no matter if they are chosen for the challenge or not.Voting ends Tuesday night at 10pm EST. Are you a nutritionist, ND, health coach, or RD specializing in gluten free diets? I chose 6 health coaches originally, but have decided to add on a 7th health coach so that I can accept more participants into the challenge. Health coaches will work with their participant twice a month from June through November and will share one gluten free recipe here each month. If you're interested in applying to be the final health coach, please e-mail me at iris@thedailydietribe.comYou can learn more about the other coaches by reading their personal profiles:Eryn McEntee, naturopathic student, gluten free for 10+ yearsSarah Dochow, clinical nutritionist with a master's degree in health psychologyGeorgianna Dolan-Reilly, licensed social worker and gluten free lifestyle coachDrew Parisi, certified nutrition consultant and nutrition educatorMia Davis, holistic nutrition and lifestyle coachShirley Plant, nutritionist and dietary designer

Apparently back in the day British naval officers were ordered to drink lime juice on voyages to prevent scurvy. Unfortunately lime juice does not keep well on long voyages so a Royal Navy Admiral named Gimlette figured out to preserve the lime juice in gin and the concoction was prescribed daily to the lucky sailors. Now, I am not exactly sure what scurvy is but I am fairly certain that it is not something I want and if I have to drink gin and lime juice to keep from getting it, well so be it. Anyway, a while later a guy named Rose came along and figured out how to preserve lime juice in a sugary solution instead of alcohol and he ruined all the fun those Navy Sailors were have out there at sea.  But those sailors had aquired a taste for gin with their lime juice so the Gimlet was born. Technically, a Gimlet is nothing more than gin and Rose’s Lime Juice. Well, my gimlet is anything but technically correct but it is quite an amazing little cocktail. The inspiration for this drink is Spain (thus the name – “gin” in Spanish is “ginebra”). The Spanish are really into their gin drinks – in fact the gin and tonic has become a bit of a national obsession. Barcelona and Madrid are flooded with bars that do nothing but serve gin drinks, many of which are infused with all sorts of things such as peppercorns, ginger, and herbs. I decided to make a gimlet with just good gin (I like Hendricks), lime juice (from a lime not a bottle), and some organic Wholesome Sweeteners blue agave instead of high fructose corn syrup, concentrated lime juice, sodium metabisulfite, and Blue Dye No. 1 (which is what is in Rose’s Lime Juice). To give it a little kick and a nod to those gin-loving Spaniards, I also threw in some smoked paprika. Oh my! What a good idea that paprika was. It gave the drink this subtle smokiness with just a tiny hint of heat in the background that balanced ever so nicely with the citrus and agave. For more heat you could certainly add a touch of cayenne pepper. This cocktail goes really nicely with tapas in case you are looking for something a bit different to serve at you next cocktail party! Note: There is a print link embedded within this post, please visit this post to print it. Ginebra Gimlet Recipe Ingredients 2 ounces gin ½ ounce fresh lime juice ½ ounce Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Blue Agave ½ teaspoon smoked paprika 1 cup ice Piece if lime zest for garnish Directions Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Shake for 30 seconds or until really cold, strain to a martini glass straight up or into a rocks glass over ice if you prefer your cocktails over ice. Serve with lime zest for garnish.
