Going gluten-free after my Celiac diagnosis wasn’t too hard…except for the beer. I am a beer enthusiast (fancy phrase for liking to drink?) so switching to gluten-free beer, which I hadn’t heard much about, was going to be difficult. The first beer I tried is possibly the most widely-available gluten-free beer out there. They seem […]

Toasted PB & Nutella: Gluten-Free Sweet Snack
Thought I’d share my favorite gluten-free snack so far. I haven’t had much time to go to the store this week, so I had to use the things I already had in my pantry. This is so tasty, you may never eat a regular PB & J ever again. This is a PB & Nutella […]
Edamame means snack time!
If I haven’t already professed my love for edamame here…I will do so now. I FREAKING LOVE EDAMAME!!! It tastes amazing, and is ridiculously healthy. Though I love it with the shell still on, shelled edamame is delicious too. I usually eat it as a side, mixed in with rice or noodles, or as a […]
Silly Ass Disease and the New Gluten-Free Me
There will be some definite changes in the recipes and beverages I post here, starting now! Last week I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, for which the only treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet.

Grown-Up Mac & Cheese

Combined, they made a great twist on the classic “pasta, vegetable, bread” dinner combo. I made Parmesan & Garlic Linguine, Roasted Asparagus, and Parmesan […]
Protein-Packed Vegetarian Burrito
After my workout today I was craving all sorts of protein, but was without tofu! “WHAT EVER SHOULD I DO?!” I thought to myself. But not really. Anyway, I decided to make a delicious, healthy burrito packed with protein. Short on fat content, but not on taste! If you want to make this even healthier, […]
Creamy Gnocchi al Pesto with Spinach
Three of my favorite foods: gnocchi, pesto, and spinach COMBINED. Although, it’s not really saying much, since most foods are my favorite foods (self-proclaimed food addict) except for meat (obviously) and mushrooms. Anyway, I love gnocchi but had never cooked it at home so I figured I’d give it a whirl instead of pasta. I […]
Vegetarian Twice-Baked Garlic Potatoes
Despite my crazy love for potatoes, I have somehow never cooked twice-baked potatoes at home! I changed that today. Didn’t do anything fancy, just made some straight up, twice-baked taters. And they were incredible. The recipe is way easier than I would have expected! Ingredients: 4 large potatoes olive oil 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 […]
