Celiac Teen — Let go of the Gluten

Gluten Free Crackers

December 3, 2009

Recently, a friend reminded me of some crackers I had made a long time ago for the Daring Bakers. It was for the first gluten free and vegan challenge. Okay, the only one. (But there may be a gluten free one soon… so joining wouldn’t be a bad idea… hint hint). Anyways, looking back at that […]

Daring Bakers: Cannoli

November 27, 2009

Think of the last thing you ate that was deep fried. Got it? Although my wontons are a recent memory, the biggest deep fried memory I have are mini donuts. They don’t even call them doughnuts, just donuts because they’re mini. They’d be freshly deep fried, with cinnamon sugar poured all over. You could eat […]

Cinnamon Scones

November 26, 2009

Warm, fresh scones. When I think of scones, I remember being 5 going to IKEA. Don’t you just love that store? There is always something fabulous to be found! Especially in the kids section. Don’t lie. I know you’ve looked at all those adorable little beds and nightlights and chairs and whatnot. (If not, what […]

Glorious Gluten Free Grain Muffins

November 22, 2009

My dad loved these muffins. Really loved them. And of course, he had that tone. You know the one – where he truly loves it, isn’t just enjoying it or being supportive. My brother on the other hand, came home after having a big dinner out and had one. Then, he had another. Then my […]

Maple (Gluten Free) Snickerdoodles

November 19, 2009

Food as a gift. Such a fun idea. And even more, such a great way to spread the joy! When I think of giving food, my mind goes directly to bark. Chocolate, peppermint, anything. Made by my best friends mom. I remember standing in their kitchen as she made it (it was almost done), and […]

Daring Cooks: Sushi

November 14, 2009

The first time I had Sushi, was in grade 7. At school. It wasn’t very good, or at least I convinced myself that was the case. Sort of slimey, and very very cold. Not my cup of tea. Had’t tried it since. This month’s Daring Cooks challenge was to make Sushi. I was a little […]

This week in Holiday Food Fest is all about Thanksgiving and Fall dishes, hosted by Alta. I had the idea of mine all ready to go. Today, being Remembrance Day, I don’t have school, so I made pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. And they were amazing. I couldn’t not share. Plus, its a fall dish – […]

Pumpkin Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Bars

November 9, 2009

Say hello to my first grain free experiment. Before your mind wonders, this is not a “eww” or “yuck” experiment. No. This is a “I think I’m dreaming, somebody pinch me, ouch! That hurt, What’d you do that for?” experiment. It’s hunger-curing deliciousness. I had thought about sharing these at school (before I made them […]

November 5, 2009

Picture your perfect Thanksgiving. Maybe you’re at your Grandma’s surrounded by family. Maybe you’re at home curled up by the fire. Maybe you’re boarding a plane to some far off paradise. For me, Thanksgiving has come & gone. It was wonderful – We went over to family friends house, and with 2 other families, enjoyed […]

Worms & Dirt

October 31, 2009

Nope, I don’t mean real worms in real dirt. I’m talking about the kid friendly favourite. Chocolate pudding, crushed oreos and gummy worms. I even had this instead of a birthday cake one year. Its so much fun. And now, its gluten free! Not to mention perfect & easy for Halloween – hint, hint. When […]
