Redbridge Good Gluten Free Beer!

Redbridge is the best gluten free beer that we have found.

There is a lot of competition for the few cases of Redbridge that the stores order.

In all of Cincinnati there are times that we can not find even a six pack of Redbridge Beer.

The stores say that they will get an order of Redbridge and save it for us. So now we plan ahead!

All of the gluten free beer drinkers need to blog Bush Beers until they produce more Redbridge!

Gluten Free Worry! Pity Party!

There are days when I tire of worrying about serving good gluten free food for my husband. The consequences of not serving gluten free keeps me on my toes. One mess up and he suffers.

I wish I took such good care of myself. I sneak non gluten free food when I can. He is out of town so for lunch I ate a whole box of Kraft Mac & Cheese. If I had eaten just a part of the box, I would have felt better.

I realize that this is such a minor problem. All I have to do is remind myself of the trials many folks face with day to day life. Then my pity party ends. Cooking gluten free is not hard. The food is fresh. The meals are easy to plan. And shopping becomes automatic.

Today my motto is live gluten free and quit complaining.

Celiac Disease

In the Health and Women section of this USA Weekend, there is an article about the fact only 3% of the celiac cases are correctly diagnosed. Also about twice as many women than men have this condition.

The National Institutes of Health has begun a celiac disease awareness campaign. Now we know the issues that are painful: small intestine pain, chronic gas, diarrhea, stomach pain, fatigue and reduced absorption of nutrients. The doctors rarely test for the inherited autoimmune disorder.

If you suspect celiac disease you must ask your doctor for a blood test.

There is only one clear and that is total lifelong avoidance of gluten found in wheat, rye, barley and oats.

Good gluten free food blog keeps searching for information and help to post. This is such an easy fix once you decide to live gluten free. There are times that I get annoyed that my husband has the issue. It is harder to eat out. When visiting friends, I keep rice crackers, a potato and other items in my handbag so that Charlie has food to eat.

At other times, I am so thankful that we are aware of the celiac disease. Life with the pain and symptoms is hard.

Be sure to mention celiac disease to anyone with intestinal problems. My children and friends are aware of how I try to promote awareness of celiac disease and also spread the word.

Good Gluten Free Food Hint

Did you see on the Today Show, what Hershey is doing to their candy?

So far certain candy bars and pieces have changed from coco butter to vegetable oil. The candy no longer reads milk chocolate. It says instead chocolate candy.

I hated it when they started using vanilan instead of vanilla. Now this. I am not sure I will buy and of the candy bars again.

At what cost are they ruining the product. I would rather pay more for less than this junk.

This information needs to be passed on to all candy lovers!

Good Gluten Free Food Pizza Crust

I have made the best pizza crust from the Gluten Free Pantry mix for French Bread and Pizza Crust. I mix the dough and then split it in half. One half I bake as a small loaf of bread. The other half I use as pizza crust.

The fun was the first time I tried to make pizza crust, the dough stuck to my hands. I tried to wet my hands with water then oil. The way it works is to use gluten free flour ( I use white rice) and powder the dough each time you roll and arrange it.

The pizza crust baked beautifully even with all of the stuff on top. I bake pizza on fun days and my gluten free husband loves it!

Gluten Free Back Yard Peach Cobbler

Good Gluten Free Food Peach Cobbler

We picked back yard peaches Sunday. They had not been sprayed and were pure organic peaches. Once you pare off the skin and slice the peaches, they were firm and juicy.

Here is the recipe that I used for an easy gluten free peach cobbler.

8 peaches skinned and sliced (or as many peaches as you want)
1 cup of sugar
2/3 cup of gluten free flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup orange juice
1 stick of butter

Grease baking pan 9" X 9"
Layer peach pieces
Cover with orange juice

Mix sugar, gluten free baking flour, cinnamon and nutmeg together then cut in the butter to form crumbs

Cover peaches with mixture

Bake 375 for 45 minutes

Serve plain or over ice cream

This recipe can be used with almost any fruit! It's easy to make and gluten free!

A Gluten Free Bakery!

I just heard about a gluten free bakery. It is in Indiana but may ship. I have no details yet but promise an update as soon as I do.

Banana Bread

Baking good gluten free food banana bread is fun and yummy. I hate to waste brown bananas. In my family, once there is a brown spot on the yellow banana skin, no one touches it. I have to buy bananas that are almost green in order to get them eaten.

It takes at least 3 or 4 bananas to make one loaf of bread. I freeze a banana with the skin on when it turns brown. When I have enough bananas to make a loaf of banana bread, I thaw the frozen ones and bake the banana bread.

Any recipe can be adapted with the rice flour mix to make the banana bread. I just add an extra egg to the mix.

Once you bake any good gluten free food, you must use it or freeze it. There are no preservatives and the baked goods turn bad in 2 or 3 days.

Blogging about Good Gluten Free Food

Since I have been blogging about good gluten free food, I have found so many great tips and hints on how to keep wheat out of the foods we eat. Blogs have a way of keeping in touch with so many people.

I am now expanding from blogging only to include web site use. I am a computer illiterate. I am not inclined to try something risky. I am afraid that I will fail and the kids will make fun of me. Now with computers and training at home I was able to take it one step at a time.

Then, I found a great free web site easy to use. A personal web site is a great way to post pictures, letters and information for family and friends. With my personal website, I now issue invitations to parties, plan outings and keep everyone informed. I love it!

My new business website will let me plan and start a business. I am starting slowly but will increase my use of the business web site later.

I want to share this with any one who is shy and unsure how to start. I am on social security and know that most of us are not comfortable with computer use. The only way to start is just do it!
Once I started, I just want to learn more!

Try: http://www.gotogails.com/new372934.html for a free web site. The great part is that it is free and easy to use. I felt it was worth a try and now love it!!!!

Save Money with Gluten Free Food

I use a blog: http://www.coupons101.blogspot.com for helpful hints for saving money expecially using coupons. I have found that I can use coupons on products that are not for my husband. The totally gluten free foods do not seem to have coupons.

When I go to a store and good gluten free flours are on sale, I stockpile the product. One can not store too much of the gluten free flours. They are truly better fresh. I do keep some good gluten free flours, cake mixes, pancake mixes etc. in the freezer for later use.

I think tonight that I will make gluten free corn bread with dinner. Tomorrow, I will blog about spoon bread fixed gluten free. The best of treats, spoon bread is fun!!!

Vacation Gluten Free Food and Beer

Found a great vacation or any time gluten free treat. Cream cheese spread on a baking dish, covered with Hormel's no bean chilly, topped with cheddar cheese and heated for 4 or 5 minutes in a microwave and served with no flour gluten free chips or crackers, is a fun treat!

I am looking for more gluten free treats to serve for the football parties!

Took 9 six packs of gluten free beer- Redbridge Beer on vacation. Came home with only 3 bottles. Good gluten free planning!!

Choose Peace

Sounds good "Choose Peace". This grass root group is not talking world peace (nice), but peace in the inner neighborhoods of our cities here in America and around the world.

In Indianapolis, Indiana, the horrible homicide rate has become unbearable. Children and families are suffering and injured while sitting in their homes or front porch. Drive by shoot outs and gun battles are hurting and killing way too many people. By spreading "Choose Peace", we can make a change.

The group is new and hopes to spread to help take back neighborhoods and cities. It is one person at a time, talking to another person and spreading the word. Choose Peace and hope will return.

Gluten Free Redbridge Beer

Looking for the good gluten free beer in Indianapolis? The Whole Food Store on West 86th Street is out of stock. I bought 8 cases of Redbridge for the next few months. We go on vacation to the Jersey Shore and did not want to run out of Redbridge.

The store manager told me in the future to call him and he will order the Redbridge that we need. So now my advice to all who love the gluten free Redbridge Beer is to find a friendly store manager and place orders from them.

Eight cases of beer takes up a lot of room in a car!

Good Gluten Free Beer Redbridge

Redbridge is the best gluten free beer that we have found. There is a lot of competition for the few cases of Redbridge that the stores order. In all of Cincinnati, we can not find even a six pack.

The stores say that it will be the end of July before they get an order of Redbridge.

All of the gluten free beer drinkers need to blog Bush Beers until they produce more Redbridge!

Flatbreads, Good Gluten Free Food

Good Gluten Free Food finds flatbread!

While reading an article about flatbread and it's roll in the world's diet, I noted that around the world wheat is not always a main crop. In tropical climantes flatbread is more likely rice, corn and bean based. Great flatbreads made from every grain on the planet and gluten free!

I need to add flatbread to our diet! I never thought of tortillas as flatbread. But now a corn tortilla will enter dinner menus.

Good gluten free foods will add a flatbread recipe regularly.

Good Gluten Free Pizza

Super Bowl Sunday always presents a problem for our meal. What is the Super Bowl without pizza and beer?

So I have made several attempts at gluten free pizza crust. Using a gluten free bread mix, I've tried several different mixes. What failures they were. Too much dough for one pizza pan, the crust was so thick and icky. One pizza burned on the bottom and the top was raw.

This year I had a mix from the Gluten-Free Pantry. It was the french bread and pizza mix. I split the dough in two. I baked one half as bread and used the other half for the pizza crust. It was the best!

Good Gluten Free Food Husband

My husband Charles is the person who must be gluten free. I spend a lot of time planning how to make his food gluten free.

When we started to be gluten free, I made it a rule to only cook one meal. I choose not to cook two meals. I eat what he eats. There are several reasons for this. Two separate meals are expensive. I will not eat a dinner roll when he can not have one. I find that the gluten free food is good.

Fruits & Vegetables Good Gluten Free Food

The farmers' markets and stands this time of the year, have the best good gluten free food in all fruits and vegetables.

Fruit salad will make a delicious dessert on a hot day! Since all fruits are gluten free unless a sauce with gluten is added, enjoy several fresh fruits a day!

Fresh vegetables can be the best part of a good gluten free meal. I prefer to pressure cook vegetables. The high steam cooks most veggies in under a minute. I also use my wok to quick cook vegetables. I love to put corn on the cob on the grill in the husks. Tomatoes also are great grilled.

Salad made with fruits or vegetables bring the best gluten free flavors to the table.

Salad dressings for vegetables often contain gluten or hidden gluten. I often use oil and vinegar with added herbs for flavor.

Stop today at your farmers' market and enjoy the best gluten free dinner!
