The owners actually converted a tiny two-story Victorian house into a restaurant. Its exterior is painted pale yellow with white trim and it boasts a wonderful [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-refined-sugar-free-strawberry-rhubarb-jam/feed/ 5 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/turnip-and-carrots/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/turnip-and-carrots/#comments Tue, 17 Jan 2012 14:25:36 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=2573 Raise your hand if you’re a wee bit intimidated by turnips? I totally hear you: they are not really considered a mainstream vegetable. I mean, could anyone even name a half-dozen recipes including them off the top of their head?  My only association with turnip  comes directly from my mom:  this little gem of a [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/turnip-and-carrots/feed/ 4 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-grain-free-coconut-cashew-chicken-tenders/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-grain-free-coconut-cashew-chicken-tenders/#comments Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:45:12 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=2544 Ever have one of those moments where you refuse to give up something as good as say, chicken tenders? In our house, we have had to eliminate a record number of foods over the past 5 years (since diagnosis). And we are better for it. Our guts are stronger. We are healthier. The tough part?

We had such a nice time catching up, sharing our latest food triumphs and – as per usual – brainstorming a bit about recipe ideas and possibilities.

I have a soft spot for Black Cod so I was thrilled when I saw it on the menu. It came with the most divine side: eggplant. Not just ordinary eggplant. It was cut into a round. And it literally melted in my [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/melt-in-your-mouth-eggplant/feed/ 9 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-frozen-cashew-butter-pie-for-mikey/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-frozen-cashew-butter-pie-for-mikey/#comments Sat, 13 Aug 2011 00:57:54 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=2408 This past Sunday, the food blogging community was sent reeling. One of our very own, Jennifer Perillo of In Jennie’s Kitchen, lost her husband in an instant to a heart attack. Mikey was young. Way too young. Jennie is wonderful. And her sunny disposition and smile are contagious. She makes everything from scratch.

She has nearly completed her nutrition degree. And I’ve asked her to contribute on a regular basis since we had such an overwhelmingly positive response to her first post on water here.

It’s sort of crazy to look back and reflect upon the intensity of it, really. In April, my dad lost his younger brother. That was hard. He was the coolest.

She has had a lifelong love affair with lemon. Hand lotion. Shower gel. Water with a slice of lemon. Lemon bars. You name it. I have three siblings and our house was crazy growing up. When I say crazy, I mean a total circus.

No sunflower, no flax, no chia, and no sesame. Which basically puts any kind of a chip-in-a-bag off limits. Have you ever tried to locate a healthy gluten free chip that is not cooked in sunflower oil ? It’s a rare thing, friends.

Or my clock radio. I woke up to my 17 month old daughter singing to herself in her crib. In the dark of the early morning, I just lay there listening to her, entertained by the sound of her delightful la-la-las.

I am so proud of her. She is studying to be a nutritionist and is currently an Examiner in the Denver area (see her website here). In the interview, she  discusses water -  why it’s critical to our body’s everyday functions.

How cool is that?  Both children suffer from their own unique food sensitivities. But, it’s corn in particular that gives them a pretty hard time.  Alas,  my sister-in-law and I were in cahoots – both eliminating corn at the same time.
