    My family and I returned about a week ago from a cruise on the Carnival Liberty and they did a great job taking care of my daughter. The hostess in our dining room (Ramona in the Golden Dining Room) was incredible and quite knowledgeable about gluten. Each evening before we finished dinner, she would bring over the next night's menu so my daughter could...

    Uno's Pizzeria has finally delivered on their long awaited gluten-free pizza. I got an e-mail from them (see below) last week telling me that cheese and pepperoni gluten-free pizza is now on their gluten-free menu. My DD tried one on Saturday and loved it. Note that the e-mail states that these are only test items and won't necessarily be added to their...

    My daughter got really sick from eating at the Bugaboo Creek in Burlington, MA. They told me it was because they were busy which I told them was never an okay excuse. If they cannot safely accommodate people with celiac/allergies, then they should retrain the staff until they can. We won't go back, particularly when there is an Outback Steakhouse nearby...

    I took my DD to the Boynton Restaurant today for pizza and found out that they put Wheat Starch in it. There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the gluten-free menu stating that they use small amounts of wheat starch in the pizza, and yet they are certifying it as gluten free. The waitress even told us about it before taking our order to be sure we saw it...

    I live in Massachusetts and recently discovered a new gluten free popcorn snack from a company called TT Buds. They have two flavors: Sweet and Salty and Sweet and Cheesy. Both flavors are awesome and they say gluten free right on the back of the bag. I have been able to find them in Market Baskets as well as some other smaller grocery stores. For those...

    Hi: There is an Italian place in Merrimack that serves gluten free pasta. We have eaten there once and had a great meal and my DD was thrilled to be able to order off the same menu as the rest of us. They can substitute gluten-free pasta in most dishes, unless they are breaded or fried. Of course, I still asked tons of questions, but the staff seemed...

    There is also a place in Arlington, MA called Celia Cakes (www.celiacakes.com) that makes excellent cupcakes. Her vanilla ones are the only vanilla cake that my DD has really liked since being diagnosed. I believe all her stuff is special order, but she has lots of flavors and the stuff is really worth it.

    Hi: I was at the Boston Children's Hospital Celiac Christmas Party yesterday and there was a vendor there that was giving out samples of their new gluten-free Clam Chowder and it was delish! I really couldn't tell that it was Gluten Free. The product is Kettle Cuisine and the chowder is only one of the new soups that are coming out. The woman said that...

    I've made pasta salad before using the Dr. Schar fusilli or penne and it comes out great. I do not have to eat gluten free so I know what regular pasta tastes and feels like and this is extremely close, to the point of not being noticeable to non celiacs. I make a caesar chicken pasta salad that I take to parties, bbq's etc. and everyone loves it.

    I had heard about Rafferty's Pub in North Conway, NH because they have a very extensive gluten-free menu due to the owners having a child with celiac. I planned a weekend in North Conway so my daughter could eat at a restaurant that had gluten-free appetizers and fries and desserts etc. There were 3 families that went and we were so disappointed in the...

    The skim milk worked great. This loaf came out better than almost any other loaf of gluten-free bread that I've tried to make from scratch. It rose nicely and baked to a golden brown and, best of all, my DD loved it. I was able to slice the loaf into thin slices and it didn't crumble at all. Thanks!

    Would this recipe work with skim milk? I never keep whole milk in the house, but assume that this recipe was originally made with whole milk. Would the difference in the fat content in the milk make a difference in the taste/texture of the bread? Thanks.

    Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link I tried these recipes and thought they were fablulous. We liked the donuts better than the jelly donuts because most of the jelly oozed out while frying. However, the recipe is simple to make, they roll out well and taste just like the old fashioned home-made donuts my mom used to make. We put powdered...

    Try Raffertys Pub in North Conway. Apparently the owners have a child with celiac so they have an extensive gluten-free menu. We haven't tried it yet, but the menu looks wonderful. www.raffspub.com.

    If you really want to make your daughter a special oreo treat, try this recipe. Take a bag of gluten-free oreos (I use the same amt. as in a normal sized bag of real oreos--I think the regular bag is maybe 18 ozs.) and put them in a food processor until they are ground into fine crumbs. You use the whole cookie, even the cream part. Once they are finely...

    There is also a place in Waltham which is not too far from Boston called Jakes Dixie Roadhouse. They do bbq and have quite a large gluten-free menu. I took my daughter to eat there recently and they seemed to be very knowledgeable about Celiac. You can check out their website at www.jakes-bbq.com

    The Top Secret Recipes 2 cookbook has a copycat recipe for the PF Changs Lettuce Wraps. I've never tried this recipe, but some of those copycat recipes actually taste very much like the real things. I just got the book with the thought that if my daugther can't eat at some of these restaurants, that I could at least try and duplicate the food for her at...

    I agree that the Bell and Evans chicken nuggets are wonderful. However, my daughter really misses the chicken fingers like you get at a Chinese restaurant. I've heard people refer to that type of batter as a hard batter. Has anyone ever had any success making chicken fingers with that type of batter/breading?

    Hi: I printed off quite a few of their free recipes recently. I printed "A Collection of Delicious Gluten Free Recipes" which has all types of recipes as well as their "Spice Cake and More Recipe Booklet" and "Delicious Recipes for the Gluten Free Pantry's Old Fashioned Cake and Cookie Mix." Is there a specific recipe you are looking for?

    Please keep us posted on what you find out about Know Fat. I live near a Know Fat and I would love to be able to take my daughter there since there aren't really any other places around here that have gluten-free food. It would be SO nice to have a place where I could stop and pick up something for her once in a while.

    My 9 year old insisted that I share this recipe as it is now her favorite chocolate treat. The original recipe calls for putting one bag of regular oreo cookies thru the food processor (cream centers and all) to get them really fine and then combining the crumbs with an 8 ounce package of cream cheese. (I used my KitchenAid to get it mixed really well)...

    Hi: After reading the e-mail you received from Leslie, I am furious that she implied to me that the ham was gluten free. She did the CYA thing, but basically told me that all ingredients were safe and that there was no chance of cross contamination becuase the only things produced at the slaughterhouse were the hams. I actually have spoken with her twice...

    Hi: I actually spoke with a woman named Leslie at Carando about a week ago and she assured me that their hams are gluten free but that the glaze packets are not. I mentioned to her that it would be nice if they could start making the glaze packets gluten free and she said that she would pass my comments along to management. The glaze is so good so it would...

    Has anyone tried the pre-packaged cold cuts? They seem to be packaged by the manufacturer (Hillshire Farms, Oscar Mayer etc) and are in re-usable plastic containers and are kept near the hot dogs in the store I go to. They are good to keep in the house because the "Use by" date is normally a few months out. Anyway, since I always get such a hard time from...
