I bought these snack bars because Nathan used to live on granola bars. He loved just about any kind, except the ones with jam on top. I thought – perfect – a snack in a box, a small meal replacement & it is fully on the GFCF diet no worries.
The box tells me it is [...]

Just a Little Frustrated
Nathan has been so accepting of his new food plan but Eric is seriously not impressed. They are taking their lunch & snacks every day to the daycare & Eric complains every morning that he doesn’t want to take lunch. He tells me it is because I pack too much. Daycare says it is because [...]

Alternative Milks
Well, Tori, we tried Manitoba Harvest’s Hemp milk. It is dated for May 2009. It is NASTY. Sorry, but it is nasty. Actually, it tastes like barley dust off the combine filtered through a dusty shirt & distilled in water. Yes, I think it is that bad.
I am going to try it in a bread [...]

I ought to Post a Picture…
of my pantry. Yikes. The darn thing looks like a bomb hit it & it might explode again at any moment. Wanna know why??
I live more than an hour’s drive (going 100 km/hr – that’s about 60 mph for my US buddies) from the nearest health food store or major grocery store. We have a [...]

Blueberry Muffins
1 3/4 cup GF flour blend (I used Hagman Featherlite Blend, see below)
1/2 cup Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 [...]

Celimix White Bread Review
I have tried the Celimix white bread so far & really like it. The bread keeps about 3 days max on the counter top, so now we are trying it in the fridge to see if it will last a day or 2 longer. We generally use it up by then. To Celimix bread you [...]

What Can I Buy in A Grocery Store?
Picture this: me in the (super large) grocery store, reading labels, getting more & more irritated by the second over how many things contain wheat, barley, oats, milk etc. Surely Rice Krispies (it’s RICE) is safe. Nope, contains malt, which is barley. Well, how about soy cheese? I hear all about that from US sources. [...]

Food Dyes
Nathan has been CF for about 3.5 weeks now and I am not sure that there has been any significant changes in him. He seems to be stumbling over his words a little less & looking into my eyes a lot more. Did he do that before? I can’t remember & right now, I don’t care. [...]
