Celiac Support Group Meeting

Posted on April 28, 2009 by Ethan

Tonight was my first time attending the State College Celiac Support Group. I am just so excited to see a local group is now present because the next closest group is in Harrisburg, PA and that is just too far to drive.

Heidi Watson is the group organizer / contact person. Kudos to her for getting the local support group started! I enjoyed the meeting agenda. I especially enjoyed the meeting’s inclusion of two local business owners: Natures Pantry Owner and Corrinado’s Pizza Owner. Continue reading →

Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins

Posted on April 10, 2009 by Ethan

Casey made these wonderful gluten-free blueberry muffins for breakfast! These muffins are from our favorite gluten-free cookbook (“Gluten-Free Baking Classic”). I posted some photos so people could see how good they turn out.

Update: Entered the above photo in and this post into the Simply…Gluten Free Photo Contest.

Gluten-Free Chicken Cheese Steaks

Posted on February 18, 2009 by Ethan

One of my favorite meals to make for Casey is GF Chicken Cheese Steaks.

I used the recipe from my favorite gluten-free cookbook (“Gluten-Free Baking Classic”) to make the roll. I thought I would post the photo for now just so people could see what the recipe from this book actually looks like when baked. Enjoy!

Gluten-Free Chicken Alfredo and French Bread

Posted on November 19, 2008 by Ethan

Tonight Casey requested her favorite pasta dish, Chicken Roasted Garlic Alfredo w/ broccoli. Casey also requested some kind of bread to accompany the pasta dish. Hmm, I pulled out my favorite gluten-free cookbook (“Gluten-Free Baking Classic”) and made the French Bread recipe. This took awhile (10 mins prep time and 25-30 mins cook time. This was my first time making this recipe. I didn’t let the bread rise as much as the recipe called for, but that sure didn’t affect the end result, yummy. Continue reading →

Gluten-Free Macaroni and Cheese

Posted on November 18, 2008 by Ethan

Tonight I made Gluten-Free Macaroni and Cheese for the family. Spoiler: unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the finished product. I use Betty Crocker’s recipe and convert it to a gluten-free recipe using the following substitutions:

regular pasta – Instead use a gluten-free pasta of your choice (I prefer Dr. Schar’s Gluten-Free Penne pasta, available at Wegmans, Celiac.com).
regular all-purpose flour - Instead use a general gluten-free mix (I actually use the brown rice flour mix from “Gluten-Free Baking Classic” ).

The other substitution that I make is to use half sharp cheddar cheese and half Monterey Jack. This recipe when converted over to a gluten-free version tastes just as good as the original. Give it a try and enjoy it.

Gluten-Free Pizza

Posted on November 9, 2008 by Ethan

Tonight was pizza night at our place (gluten-free of course). I make my pizza crust using a recipe from “Gluten-Free Baking Classic” 1st Edition by Annalise G. Roberts. If you don’t own this book, get it. This is by far the best pizza recipe that I have come across. I have tried many and this one just comes the closest to the real thing. The aroma that this dough gives off when making it is also wonderful.
