I work in a high end hair salon and lots of our clients gave cookies or chocolates that were not safe. I just said thank you and smiled, then put out a plate of these goodies on the front counter for clients and staff alike. Everyone enjoyed them, moaned about how fat they were getting and enjoyed not having to worry about overeating them for the first...

Thank you.....that's good to know. I've been drinking Second Cup, because they responded right away, but I prefer Timothys. Sue

By flavoured coffee I don't mean those sweetened latte things....I'm talking a cup of regular black amaretto, or coconut....you know, regular coffee? I've written to them twice but not heard back. does anyone know if their flavoured coffees are safe?

I suggested cooking at my place and having my family all come here, but I'm in a 2 bedroom apartment as opposed to my parent's house with a huge yard (and the weather was nice). I was also told theat they wouldn't want to eat me 'weird foods'. Ah well, I plan on doing the same thing at Christmas. Maybe if I do it often enough she'll realize I'm serious...

Well, I posted in the Thanksgiving thread that I was just gonna bring my own food and try not to make a production about it, make sure I was first served so there would be no cross contamination.....well.... let's just say my mother didn't agree with me, and made sure to make a HUGE production out of it, rant about how hurt she was that I didn't trust...

I'm going to bring my own turkey breast and stuffing. I always do the cranberries anyway, and this year i've said I'll bring dessert, so I'm making a pumpkin swirl cheesecake. I figure there will be veggies to eat that are safe. I plan on bringing it straight to the kitchen and not even mentioning to anyone else that I'm doing it, my mum knows of course...

LOL....well said, I'll find mine and share as well.

Thanks all for the ideas. I'm going to be in the neighbourhood of a different health food store today and will look there and see what they have. The ginger snaps are easy tofind, so if I can't get graham crackers I will use those. And yes, it IS a pumpkin cheesecake. LOL

I'm supposed to be bringing a cheesecake to a Thanksgiving day celebration I'll be attending this coming weekend. I've gone over the recipe and realized it's all good and made with gluten-free ingredients with the exception of one important thing....the Graham cracker crust. Went to the health food store today to see if there was such a thing as a gluten...

It's interesting this topic has come up. I just logged on to post a similar question. It's been about 2 weeks for me, my left knee has near doubled in size and walking is brutally painful. Doesn't help I have a job where I'm on my feet all day either. I'm pretty sure it's from a gluten exposure, I've never ever had knee problems in my life, I didn't have...

I got a HUGE container at my local health food store. It's EnerG brand and says its 227 g. considering most recipes only call for a small amount, I figure it should last a good long time.

The creams I was using were facial skin moisturizer and an anti-wrinkle eye cream. If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.

Well I'm glad I didn't buy the $90 bottle then. And thank you all for your replies. This made me investigate a little further and I've also discovered my eye cream says 'wheat protein' in it's ingredient listing. Guess it's time to go shopping for a new beauty regime? I wonder if this is also why my knee has flared up this week as well.

I've been suffering from gut issues all week. Bloated, crampy, and yes, the dreaded running to the bathroom WAY too often. Couldnt think of what might be causing it as I've not eaten any out of the ordinary foods lately, and everything has been prepared at home by me. Then this morning as I was getting ready for work and making sure to pack my Imodium,...

I was at Costco the other day and had to go thru about 4 different hot dog brands before finding one that didn't contain wheat as a filler. I don't know if this is just common in Canada, but I see more with then without.
