New blog post! When you receive a celiac diagnosis, one of your first questions - beyond what a gluten free diet even is - might be the side effects of a gluten free diet. So in the spirit of spreading celiac awareness all year long and helping newly diagnosed celiacs adjust more easily than I did, I wanted to write about seven side effects of a gluten free diet you might experience after being diagnosed with celiac disease. *As always, I am NOT a medical professional. I am simply describing my personal experience, supplemented by the research I can find. PLEASE talk to your doctor and get referred to a gastroenterologist if you suspect you have celiac disease or are struggling after a celiac disease diagnosis!* So if you’re a new member of the celiac community, I hope this post gives you an idea of what to expect after going gluten free. And if you’re a loved one of someone newly diagnosed with celiac disease, I hope this post gives you ideas of how to show that person some extr...

What my neighbors probably thought after spotting me photographing my Chipotle order: “You’ve guac to be kidding me.” 😅😂 In all seriousness, I photograph the bulk of my food in the shared outdoor areas of whatever apartment I’m living in, so I’ve gotten my fair share of odd looks. (And when I was photographing pancakes in my apartment parking lot, a stranger did thoughtfully ask if I was OK. 🙈) But when the lighting and your #glutenfreedinner looks this good…a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do, right? 😎 *NOTE: I’ve luckily always had good experiences at Chipotle, but the safety of eating gluten free there definitely varies by location. I recommend requesting a change in gloves, fresh ingredients from the back, and trusting your gut if you don’t feel safe! 💚 . . . . . . #glutenfreelife #glutenfreefood #eatingoutglutenfree #gffoodie #glutenfreefollowme #glutenfreefoodie #glutenfreerestaurant #glutenfreedinner #glutenfreelunch #glutenfreeblog #glutenfreeproduct #glut...

ROLLING into Fall with homemade Crunchy Caramel Apple Energy Balls…😍👇 I definitely am a night snack kinda person, and I love having something sweet (but secretly healthy) to enjoy before bed. These caramel apple energy balls are packed with caramelly apple flavor - not to mention the perf mix of chewy, crunchy and fudgy texture 😋 - but don’t have any added sugar! Plus, you can make them with as little as six ingredients. 👌 🍎 Recipe For the Caramel Apple Energy Balls: 4 ounces of applesauce (sugar free, if desired) 4-5 soaked and shredded dates ¼ cup + 2 TBSP of flour (I used rice, quinoa and coconut flour from @nutsdotcom) ¼ cup puffed rice cereal (I enjoy @erewhonorganic puffed rice, but any will do!) ¼ cup mixed seeds and/or chopped nuts (I used sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and chia seeds from @foodsalive) A hearty sprinkling of cinnamon 🍎 Instructions: First, soak your dates in water for around 20 minutes to make them super soft. Then mash them (in a blender or w...

New blog post! This post is generously sponsored by Little Northern Bakehouse.  WHO else is ready for ALL the fall flavors? If the answer is you - and especially if you have kids who love playing with their food - you’ll love these pumpkin spice owl bagels, made with fun, healthy bagel toppings! Recently, Little Northern Bakehouse was kind enough to send me a few breads and bagels to enjoy. So, I decided to combine some cozy fall flavors - like sweet potato and pumpkin spice - with healthy bagel toppings that would turn a plain bagel into a cute owl. And, trust me. This bagel toppings idea is as tasty as it is adorable. And one of the biggest reasons for that amazing flavor is the quality of Little Northern Bakehouse’s products. I love their breads because they’re not only certified glutenfree, but also peanut and nut free, non-GMO and (for most of their products) vegan. I keep mine stored in the freezer and after a few minutes in the microwave, this cinnamon raisin bag...

Fun fact: I turned 25 yesterday. 😳🎂🤪 It wasn’t the most exciting birthday (hellloooo Orange County, CA still being in quarantine + having 100-degree-Fahrenheit weather 🙈🙈) but enjoyed relaxing and cooling off with smoothies and ice cream. 👅 Buuuuut considering that I feel like I’ve lived through a decent amount in only 25 years, I thought I’d share 25 fun facts about me! 🤓👇🏻 ⭐️ I’ve lived in Cuba and had an iguana steal my sandwich. ⭐️ I played soccer ⚽️ for over 10 years and miss it TONS. ⭐️ I’ve moved 10+ times (marine brat life!) ⭐️ I’ve never been to a wedding. ⭐️ I’ve never used a dating app. ⭐️ I made a batch of homemade granola every week for about 5 years straight - until I randomly stopped 🙃. ⭐️ I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at age 11. ⭐️ My right pinky finger can’t straighten because I broke it (and all the other fingers in that hand 🙈). ⭐️ The day after my 18th birthday, I had to start a liquid diet due to #celiac complications. ⭐️ I’m allergic to cats 🐱...

I know what #glutenfreebreakfast is going to be happening on repeat this Labor Day weekend (AD) 😏😏👉🏻 @realgoodfoods’ Breakfast Sandwich! I’ve always been a fan of Real Good Foods’ #certifiedglutenfree products 😍…but I’m even more psyched that they can now be found in Target. Considering there’s a Target less than two minutes away from my current apartment, that’s either very convenient or very dangerous. 😂 But a girl can never have too many easy #freezermeals on hand for busy workdays or weekends. 👌🏻 My BF enjoys the pork sausage version while I’m addicted to the turkey sausage flavor. So I’m extra glad our freezer is stooooocked up. 😉 Have you ever tried @realgoodfoods products? (Their cauliflower crust pizza and stuffed chicken breasts are also 💣💣!) Or would you go with the pork or turkey sausage breakfast sandwich? Lemme know! 🤓👇🏻 . . . . . #labordayweekend #laborday #noglutenplease #whatceliacseat #glutenfreediet #glutenfreelifestyle #celiacdisease #noglute...

New blog post! Last year, I shared a post with my favorite gluten free and vegan protein bars. ..and you all loved it! And since I’ve since stumbled upon six more gluten free protein bars (four of which are also vegan), I thought I would share another post highlighting six more delicious gluten free protein bars!

If you don’t add a sexy drizzle of nut butter on your baked goods, are you really an Insta foodie? 😅😂 In all seriousness, though…adding some @juliesreal cashew butter and melty @enjoylifefoods chocolate chips was EXACTLY what this chocolate muffin needed. 👅 This muffin recipe isn’t perfect as they came out a little too dry and not quite sweet enough. But if you’re looking for a #glutenfreemuffin recipe is tinker with and make your own, here’s what I did (and suggestions on what I’ll change for the next batch!) 🍫🍌 Chocolate Banana Quinoa Muffins 1 @bobsredmill gluten free egg replacement 1 large ripe banana, mashed 2 TBSP coconut sugar (I would up it to 3 TBSP) 3 TBSP cacao flour ¼ cup All Purpose GF flour ¼ cup quinoa flour ½ tsp baking powder ¼ tsp baking soda Handful of chocolate chips 2 TBSP water or plant-based milk (I would up to 3 TBSP if the batter feels too thick) 👩‍🍳 Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Make the egg replacement first an...
