Kiss My Grits

August 31, 2012

I’m sure I’m aging myself, but who doesn’t love the Flo from the ‘70s sitcom Alice? She was the feisty red head who gave Mel the cook fits with her sassy attitude. Since I was maybe 6 or 7 years old, all I really remember from the show was her famous catch phrase.. …Kiss …

Gluten-Free Cornbread

August 28, 2012

As a born and raised Southern girl, my life usually includes cornbread whether it is baked in the oven or cooked on the stove during the hot months. I have many memories of my grandmothers using their iron skillets to whip up a batch of buttery cornbread and many nights with my …

Market Potato Salad

August 26, 2012

Summer is dwindling down, but you can’t tell it from the weather around here. When I go to the farmers’ market on Saturdays, I have to go REALLY early to beat the heat.

Friday Favorites-Back to school

August 24, 2012

Favorites for back-to-school. Don’t laugh. There are some great perks to the return to school insanity. 1. Brand new boxes of crayons.

Gluten free updates

August 20, 2012

It’s been 5 weeks and there have been some ups and downs. I have had 6 definite gluten contamination incidents and it’s almost to the point of ridiculous the many products that have wheat in them and the extent of gluten exposure that causes a reaction. I ordered a hamburger with no bun at a [...]

Crossfit therapy

August 17, 2012

Early morning classes took some getting used to. I do consider myself more of a morning person because I would rather go to bed at 10pm and get up at 4, put on coffee, and finish studying, finishing that term paper, or finish getting the real job homework done before going to work. When I [...]

Gluten Free..BAHAHAHAHAHA

August 7, 2012

Those were my exact words to my doctor two weeks ago. Picture me, pale, shivering, weak, sweating and clammy, but had the energy to laugh at my doctor. And now I’m gladly eating my words. I’ll make this long gross story very short. About 10 months ago, my normally VERY predictable …
