Van’s Waffles
Some mornings before school my daughter likes to have a waffle and an egg for breakfast. I had already heard about Van’s Waffles, so I picked up a variety for her to sample. The minis were the clear winner for her. (I like the buckwheat ones myself.) These are best heated in the oven, which [...]
Udi’s
My daughter has never cared much for bread, even when she was preschooler. She’s been eating the meat, cheese, and pickles out of her hamburgers, hot dogs sans buns, and sandwich meat a la carte for her whole life. But this past year or so, she’s been taking a peanut butter & nutella sandwich to [...]

Celiac Runs in the Family
I was shaken when I got the call from my youngest daughter’s pediatrician informing me that her celiac panel had come back highly unusual. My wife and I wanted to have our daughter screened at her annual physical because celiac disease has a strong genetic component. Even so, our daughter had never had any obvious [...]
May Is Celiac Disease Awareness Month
May is designated Celiac Disease Awareness Month. As I’ve gradually healed and continue to heal since my diagnosis roughly a year ago, I’ve begun to understand how important it is to raise overall awareness of this disease. While celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that affects roughly the same percentage of the population as type [...]

No Oats For You!
Yes, my body has turned into a form of the Soup Nazi this past week and emphatically denied me oats. Apparently I’m one of the small percentage of celiacs who also can’t tolerate oats. I set up the test pretty well. I got tested and certified gluten free steel cut oats by Bob’s Red Mill. [...]

One Year Gluten Free
It’s been roughly a year now since I was diagnosed with celiac disease and began a gluten free diet. It was quite a shift at first, but it’s almost become second nature now. I read the ingredients on everything I pick up and am still sometimes surprised. Just the other day my wife was making [...]

In Defense Of Food 0 – Introductory Thoughts
Last week I read Michael Pollan’s book, In Defense of Food, An Eater’s Manifesto. It’s quite well written and thoroughly sourced. He’s a journalist, not a scientist, but he is an academic as well and certainly able to document and defend his ideas. I plan to devote a post reviewing each of the three sections [...]

Kerbey Lane Cafe
I’ve waited until I visited Kerbey Lane Cafe a couple of times in different locations before writing this review. My readers have to understand that this was one of my favorite restaurants before my diagnosis. It was hard for me to believe that the restaurant that made the best pancakes I had ever had could [...]
