These baked lentil chips from Mediterranean Snack Foods are awesome!! They are made from lentils, adzuki and garbanzo beans and they are some of the most delicious chips I’ve ever had…the red pepper ones in particular.

Celiac Brain Fog

By Laura | Published October 17, 2011

For two weeks now I’ve been suffering from what I can only describe as brain fog. It’s a pretty difficult feeling to explain as you will know if you suffer from it. Basically I feel as though I’m in a dreamy state. I wouldn’t say I’m dizzy because things aren’t moving but something just doesn’t

By Laura | Published October 16, 2011

Last week on our way home from Des Moines, our one hour layover in Denver turned into a 12 hour layover when our flight was cancelled out of the blue. With nothing we could do but wait until the early morning flight, due to a strange lack of alternative flights heading in our direction, we

Gluten Free Simply Bar

By Laura | Published October 14, 2011

I recently received a box of bars from The Simply Bar. Another bar which is gluten free certified! Yay! They have seven different flavours and I am happy to report that these protein bars (each bar contains 16g protein) do not taste like they contain a lot of protein. This is definitely a good thing

Gluten Free Thai Mango Curry

By Laura | Published October 14, 2011

I incorporate pineapple into a lot of dishes and it’s always delicious so this time I thought I’d try mango instead. I’ve become a big fan of thai red curry since I discovered a number of different thai curry pastes which are gluten free. In the US I use Mae Ploy made from only a

What’s In My Gluten Free Backpack

By Laura | Published October 8, 2011

When I travel, I travel light. When I’m exploring weird and wonderful places I’d rather not be held back by my luggage. I want something sturdy and I want something flexible. I don’t want to have to take a cab or a bus just because my bag is too heavy. This is why I love

Tips For Running 13.1 & 26.2 Gluten Free

By Laura | Published September 29, 2011

Running 13.1 miles without stopping is really hard. Running 26.2 miles is really, really hard. It requires a lot of energy. What we eat before and after our training runs, during the week leading up to a big event and on the morning of race day matters. The energy we fuel our bodies with can

Nugo Nutrition Bars Gluten Free

By Laura | Published September 28, 2011

I recently sampled a few of the snack bars that Nugo Nutrition have to offer. I tried a couple of bars from their NuGo free and NuGo Slim ranges. Both of these lines are Certified Gluten Free. Yay!

Eagle Pizzeria Gluten Free

By Laura | Published September 20, 2011

Last weekend I had amazing gluten free pizza in San Francisco and it was completely by chance. This doesn’t happen often so I was pretty excited. John and I were exploring the area around Lake Merced and on heading back towards town we came across Eagle Pizzeria on Taraval Street (between 27th & 28th Ave).
