Independence Day is a great opportunity to recognize not only summer themed foods but also American food traditions, and you just can’t beat it when there are gluten free opportunities. July’s potluck kept this idea in mind and gave us another opportunity to celebrate American foods. Although a rainy day we held the potluck at Read More …
Recently, my friend Alana from graduate school went gluten free to see if it helped her joint and body pain. Although we work at separate agencies she and I work pretty closely on joint committees and project, in fact we’re even going to Buffalo for a conference in a few weeks, so it has been Read More …
Can you believe we’ve never done a gluten free potluck? We’ve done different nationalities, different ingredients; even colors. While gluten free has always been available at all of these we’d never done gluten free specifically, so we made it our June theme. Unfortunately summer calls for busy weekends and strained schedules, so it was one Read More …
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 …
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 …
Last evening, after my brief nap following our 24hr charity event, I was craving some pretty unhealthy pub foods. Mozzarella sticks? Yes please… Onion rings? Where can I find them? Overloaded Nachos? Let’s do this, right now! It’s a common craving I have when I’m tired (does anyone else get like that?) but not having Read More …
It’s been awhile since I did a potluck post. The reality is that while we are entering year three of our monthly potlucks I myself do not always have the chance to attend them. I was happy however to attend last night’s Middle Eastern Potluck though, which was one of our last outdoor hurrahs of Read More …
July will mark 2 years of our Potluck Dinner Club, which holds a themed potluck monthly. I’ve been chronicaling some of our most notable, or creative, potlucks and from a Gluten Free perspective I can say that June was one of the more interesting ones. June’s theme was cooking with beer, which you may find Read More …
November’s Potluck Dinner Club theme was foods from Spain, not to be confused with Spanish foods from Latin America and other Spanish speaking regions. Although the distinction threw a few people off, the final product was a delicious array of foods that were ENTIRELY GLUTEN FREE. AND it was an informal three course meal. The Read More …
September’s potluck ingredient of choice was garlic, one of my favorite ingredients! Garlic or garlic salt goes on basically everything I make, but I had my eyes set on one particularly missed food as my contribution to the potluck: Garlic Knots. Having not had a garlic knot since 2010 I didn’t have high hopes for these, Read More …
