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.

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!!

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 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.

Gluten Free Camping

Camping Gluten Free means taking along two sets of foods-one with wheat and one gluten free.

When 40 family members gather and cook meals together, my job grows twice as hard. When we are home, there are no wheat products in the kitchen. When everyone chips in, I must cook a special meal gluten free.

When traveling, we have a RV with a kitchen. The food stored over the winter was bad and had to be fed to the wild animals. I even cooked up the dried out pasta so as not to waste it. The raccoons are smiling tonight.

We are off to Lake Michigan South Haven for a week. I have new stashes of good gluten free food for the summer.

Happy Fourth of July!!!
