In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed and living happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet. In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.

Puree in blender/food processor: 2 cups tomatillos (Mexican green tomatoes),
1 small garlic clove, 8 to 10 sprigs or fresh cilantro, and a tiny piece
of Serrano raw green chili or jalpeño, ¼ cup diced white
onion, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook sauce for several minutes in a small
pot with a teaspoon of oil until it changes color.
Recipe for Red Enchilada Sauce:
1 cup chopped onions
2 cups canned tomatoes
1 - 8 ounce can tomato sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
Pinch of cayenne pepper
10 drops hot sauce (Tabasco)
½ tablespoon plus 1 tsp. chili powder
1 tablespoon honey

Sauté the onion until translucent. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer uncovered 30 minutes.
To make the Enchiladas:
Heat corn tortillas by quickly passing through hot oil and then pass them
through the sauce. Fill the tortillas with shredded chicken or cheese.
Fold/roll and place in baking dish. Cover with remaining sauce. Top with
a layer of Monterey Jack cheese. Bake in oven on 350F, until hot and cheese
browns slightly.
