Celiac Teen — Let go of the Gluten

Oatmeal Cookies

November 6, 2011

Falling back is one of those little gifts. We get one extra hour. I suppose it was loaned to us from the spring, but I’m taking it. I woke up before the sun today. My body said it was later than normal, but it was still earlier than I expected to wake. I didn’t grab […]

Cheese Biscuits

October 8, 2011

The light is changing. It doesn’t last as long. I wake up in the dark and go to bed when it’s dark, rather than light and light. Fall is here. Autumn can be felt in the air. Each tree and hedge is letting the season change in stride. Some are aflame in reds and yellows, […]

The summer after I graduated.

September 14, 2011

It’s been one of those summers not to be forgotten. Magic days spent with best friends. Loving hours spent with family. Love, in every corner. Days spent celebrating now, celebrating this moment. I’ve also been trying to capture it. My hand has been glued to my camera more than ever this summer. At the same […]

Pie.

August 31, 2011

I’ve written this post in my head about ten times. The type of post you think of repeatedly, somehow hoping that it materializes all typed up, with photos at opportune breaks. Every time, it hasn’t happened. Some other pie has come into my life, or a loss for words has washed over me. I haven’t […]

Summer days are meant for ice cream. Be it a cone at the pool, a scoop after a game or a bowl just about any time, they’re made for right now. With so many fantastic, naturally gluten-free kinds of ice cream, I have never worried about missing out on cookie dough. The other day, as […]

Gluten-Free Banana Bread and Graduation

June 30, 2011

Twelve years, three schools, countless teachers, and the birthplace of lifelong friendships. It all came to this: graduation. That time of year where stress is in the air and hope is in our hearts. Each step had prepared us for the next one. We went to elementary to learn how to learn, how to get […]

The Power of Food Blogging

June 1, 2011

The past week and a half has been the busiest of my life. Highs and lows, excitement pulsing, and very little sleep. Looking back at it, I don’t know where to begin. I want to gush about meeting so many friends at BlogHer Food. I want to sleep even thinking about my trip home. I […]

Multigrain Cream Scones for the Gluten-Free Ratio Rally

May 4, 2011

I’m not the same baker I was when I was when I started creating in this space. To start baking, I now pull out my scale. I don’t think twice about using a handful of flours. Xanthan gum doesn’t always make it in (and it doesn’t always need it – like these). Sometimes I take […]

Milkshake Ice Cream

April 29, 2011

Raw food. What comes to mind first? I think of my dog’s food. I know that sounds positively terrible, but he’s been on a raw food diet for almost all of his life. Raw meat, some vegetables, things like that. But, let me tell you one thing: this is not your dog’s raw food. Last […]

Of Castles and Ruins

April 25, 2011

Every so often, I share a bit of my trip to Europe, last summer. I know that this summer is fast approaching (and I haven’t made a dent in telling about this trip), but I love to write and reminisce about visiting Scotland, London and Paris. This is part four – here is part one, […]
