![]() There are a lot of benefits to being gluten free. Whether you're gluten free because of Celiac Disease, wheat allergy, gluten allergy, your physician prescribed it for you, or you're making a lifestyle change, you'd be pleased to know that a gluten free diet may actually help lower the risk of Diabetes, especially in women. Researchers in Denmark theorize that women who are pregnant and are on a gluten free diet can lower the risk of Diabetes in their babies. More about this study can be found at www.celiac.com/articles/23701/1/Can-a-Gluten-free-Diet-Lower-the-Risk-of-Diabetes/Page1.html. When it comes to a gluten free diet, make sure you're eating the right foods. Gluten free baked goods tend to have a lot of processed carbs, butter, and ingredients that no human being can pronounce. While these baked goods are okay to have once in a while, I recommend sticking to naturally gluten free foods: meat (if you eat meat), fruits, vegetables, and dairy (if you aren't allergic). By staying away from the processed baked goods, you're helping to keep the risk of developing diabetes very low. Plus you are doing something very good for your body. You're feeding it nutrients to keep it strong and healthy. You and I both know, us Celiacs need all the nutrients our bodies can absorb!

This recipe is filling, delicious, and GLUTEN FREE!!! It is super easy to make and is a perfect summertime lunch or dinner meal.
Here is what you will need:
The lettuce does have a hard time staying in a 'wrap' position, you might need to use a toothpick to hold it in place if you're making this for family or guests. I ended up just getting a fork and eating it like it was a noodle salad. Using peanut butter instead of the Thai Peanut Sauce gave it more of a hearty texture and made me full after eating just a little bit of it. I do recommend that you pick up gluten free Thai peanut sauce. Annie Chun doesn't make gluten free sauce, but San-J does! Thai peanut sauce will definitely add some spice and flavor to the dish. ![]()
Udi's Broccoli and Kale Lasagna
Recently, I came across Udi's Broccoli and Kale Lasagna while at the grocery store doing my weekly shopping. Me, being the foodie that I am, did not hesitate to pick up a box and see if this lasagna was any good. I've tried so many amazing Udi's products and I hoped that this one would be a winner too. Well, folks, I was right! This lasagna was very good. The sauce was very rich and the meal was full of flavor! I don't need to tell you that it is Gluten Free because Udi's is a go-to brand for those of us who are gluten free. As for the nutritional facts, I was scared that it was going to be a million calories and have a ton of sodium. Nope. Only 370 calories and 290mg of sodium. If you're watching your carb intake, there are only 35 grams of carbs in this lasagna. This lasagna is pretty filling, but for those of you looking to add a side dish to your lasagna, I suggest steamed veggies that are seasoned and a glass of your favorite wine. Allergen Warnings: This item contains Milk and Eggs. Those of us who have Celiac disease often have bouts of (or are full blown) lactose intolerance. I HIGHLY recommend taking a lactaid pill before consuming this product. I tend to have lactose intolerance symptoms whenever I have something that is oozing tons of dairy. I make sure my medicine cabinet is stocked with lactaid pills. Definitely pick up Udi's Broccoli and Kale Lasagna. It's a scrumptious and quick meal that you can just pop into the microwave and indulge in while watching your favorite TV programs. Thank you, Udi's for making another amazing product! Keep em' coming! ![]()
Udi's GF Cinnamon Rolls
I know I'm not the only one who loves cinnamon rolls. I remember frequenting Cinnabon through the years and indulging in some ooey gooey cinnamon roll goodness.

I pretty much devoured them within 3 or 4 days, LOL! For those of you tracking your calories, carbs, etc., here is what you need to know:
Allergen Warning: This item contains Eggs. I highly recommend that all my gluten-free friends try this item.

Hey everyone! Are you looking for a delicious comfort food to warm your soul? Look no further!
Early on in my Celiac/GF journey, I came across this turkey chili recipe (below) in my local newspaper. The turkey chili is naturally gluten free and was painless to put together. Since I had gluten free cornbread mix in my pantry, I decided to bake cornbread muffins along with it. Once finished, I indulged and it hit the spot! This recipe is perfect for a fall/winter day, and the recipe yields enough for the entire family. Bon appetite!
