Playin Catch Up
Amidst all of this goodness I am clicking and sauntering my way through old cross links, messages and tweets in an effort to catch up on Wheat Free Family and general gluten free stuff. What have I found? more

Krispies Get Smart… For Americans!
They are NOT bringing it to Canada.
They have been quoted as saying that there is not enough demand or support for the product in the Canadian market. O_o If you are disappointed by this decision too, please contact Kellogg customer service athttp://www2.kelloggs.ca/ContactUs.aspx. more
I would have told you ” You are Crazy!”
I toss my boxes of sweet Oreos, bags of fluffy white bread and foil wrapped pouches of ‘made with juice’ Gushers on the conveyor belt. “It’s just food. It’s not going to kill you.” Five years later I catch a glimpse of the conveyor belt in front of me and sigh. Bulk section plastic bags twist-tied with numbers show off their contents of quinoa, brown rice flour, sunflower seeds and walnuts. more
How do you keep kids … Fed!
Three boys - ages 14, 10 and 6 – and sometimes mealtimes are a challenge. Ok, considering the audience I don’t think I needed to say that. Anyone who has to elliminate such a key ingredient from their menu as Wheat/Gluten KNOWS that you can’t just whip out hamburgers or baked lasagnia. So what are some of the staple meals that I default to naturally?
Baked Chicken Breasts with GF Cornflake coating. Salad.
Beef Stirfry with peppers. Steamed white rice.
Tacos with Corn shells and browned hamburger
Kabobs with romane lettuce wraps
Gluten Free Spaghetti and Meat Balls. Ceasar Salad. Garlic Toast.
That is just a few off the top of my head.
While the thought of cooking Gluten Free is intimidating, knowledge, a plan and a deep breath makes it all quite livable.
Late Night Cravings
Straight to the point! Cookies! A delicate cookie with the taste of light brown sugar.
Bake for 14 minutes. Allow to cool … if you can! more
Finally!… Strangely…
Is Strangely even a word? My instinct is to type it Strangle-y but that might be just because it’s summer and the kids are out!
CHEX! Yes. I have been hearing on the chatter that CHEX is and has been Gluten free for years and, like Duncan Hines, ONLY available in the states. You can IMAGINE my inner ( maybe outter) SQUEE when I walked into a store and, there it was! Gleaming like a Golden Saint from a Catholic Dias. I swear I heard the Heavenly Host!
I GRABBED up two boxes of each before I even looked at the prices… before I even thought to pull out my camera and slam it up on facebook! I did correct that though, on the fly!
What makes this a strange find? The Location! It wasn’t a health food store, a Safeway or Grocery ( by their true definition) . No, it was ( don’t think less of me) Walmart! in WILLIAM’S LAKE?!
Regardless, I bought it. Paid the approx $5 a piece for 4 boxes and brought home my stash of golden sugary GLUTEN FREE carb cubes. My children love me and I am suddenly eager for good old fashioned Nuts and Bolts. Ahhhhhh…. sodium licks!
