May’s Potluck was a bit different than the other monthly events we’ve been doing. Rather than pick an ethnic or ingredient theme we wanted to give one of our friends the opportunity to explore some of her new skills as a Health Coach and choose mindfulness as our theme. Rather than bringing a dish we Read More …
A love of bagels runs in the blood of New Yorkers. They’re tough, chewy, and if toasted just right they develop a good crunch. I myself have always been a fan of the everything bagel, or if I’m in my home town a sunflower seed bagel tasted just right with vegetable cream cheese. After going Read More …
There is an important place in the food industry for small businesses, businesses started in kitchens by passionate individuals. I love hearing such stories, and was please when Tiny B Chocolates (one such business) reached out to me to review their Brazilian Chocolates: Brigadeiros. Tiny B: is about the happy love story between Renata, a beautiful Read More …
Bread. As a kid I couldn’t get enough of my ‘specialty’ weekend breakfast of toast with cinnamon sugar and butter. As a college student I primarily ate sandwiches of turkey, american cheese, and ranch dressing almost every day. Bread has always been a staple, but after my Celiac Disease diagnosis it took a few years Read More …
Social Media is a wonderful thing. If it weren’t for the global nature of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all those other sites I wouldn’t be meeting members of the gluten free community who are geographically removed from the New York Area. One of those folks I recently had the pleasure of connected with through Instagram Read More …
Here’s another potluck for the books. Last month’s theme was red foods, one of the largest spectrum’s of color in the food world (and we included anything on the spectrum). It was partially in celebration of Valentine’s Day. It’s obviously a holiday forever connected to hearts, pinks, and reds which made decorating easy! We pulled Read More …
Do you celebrate your gluten free anniversary? To me it’s my second birthday, it’s the day I started to get my health back and returned to being ‘me’. That’s something to celebrate… Like many people starting a new month I woke up March 1st 2010 feeling like I’d turned a new leaf. The gluten was out Read More …
You get the call, the call none of us want to get. Someone you love has passed away. Whether sudden or expected your world has been rocked. It is heart breaking, and I doubt the first thing on your mind is ‘What will I eat next?” You may not be hungry, you may not have Read More …
To me, no other food genre tells such a personal story as the ideas that are conjured up when one thinks of Comfort food. It is a concept so ingrained in cultural, familial, communal, and personal backgrounds, and it is truly remarkable to hear the stories behind each dish. Even climate plays a role. For those Read More …
Happy 2016 everyone! Last night’s New Years Eve was a bit out of character for me, I went out for the ‘holiday’ for the first time ever. Some of my closest friends and I attended a masquerade party at a swanky hotel in queens. It was pretty fun, and we looked damn sassy: What did Read More …
