Merry Gluten Free Christmas!

I'm dreaming of a gluten free Christmas!


This is a chocolate bundt cake with chocolate glaze. One year I served it with raspberries and another year with strawberries. This year I made sure I had raspberries because that is the berry that goes best with this choclate cake recipe.

Celifibr: Beef, Chicken and Vegetable Bouillon Cubes

Vegetable Medley, Beef & Chicken Bouillon cubes are great for broth when I was sick in October I found this to be wonderful to have on hand. I boiled water in a pot placed a bouillon cube in added g-free noodles that I already had cooked in the refrigerator. It made me feel less achy and stuffy.

I also use it in stews, Shepard’s Pie, soups and stir-fry, anything that calls for a broth.

Gluten Free a Whole New World

Being G-Free...
I am so excited to tell anyone who is Gluten Free that we can eat Chocolate Frosty's from Wendy's. I am eating one right now! It's so good you have to tell your G-Free family & friends.

There is so little that I can eat that I get very excited to find something new that is take-out that's not going to make me feel sick!

If I find anything else I will post it here! Stay tuned...

I have a great recipe for waffles, cake, and cookies that I make from scratch that I will share with you next time.

I was in Wendy's last week and they have an allergy poster on their wall near where you order. It's great...so for supper I ordered a plain baked potato, a large chilli and a medium Chocolate Frosty! YUM! I was stuffed, satisfied and so happy that I found another place that I can eat and not look like I'm high maintenance. The cost was about $6.50. That is close to the cost of a meal deal at McDonald's, Tim's or Harvey's!
When I got home I went right to the computer to check out the internet for any other G-Free items they have to offer and to my surprise this is what I found:
Gluten-Free: Wendy's US Menu Items without Gluten!

Check out the food guide. It is really important and hard to make meals and snacks to equal the daily recommended amounts of what we need until you have studied the food guide for gluten free foods.
