“There’s a growing awareness that gluten intolerance is a disease,” Hamelink said. “A diagnosis like that can be devastating at the time but there are many, many resources out there and it’s not impossible to eat gluten-free.” From an article on MLive.

Your diagnosis of celiac or gluten intolerance truly isn't the end of eating delicious foods however it is the beginning of a new way of thinking about food. You will need to adjust your thoughts to "whole, real foods" nothing processed and certainly nothing from the bakery at a grocery store (I keep hoping though). The way we think about eating now is one or two ingredient foods. Like apple, banana, lettuce, beef, chicken, pepperoni; these are all single ingredient foods that when cooked are delicious. You will find herbs, various oils (olive, flax, sesame) and butter to be your friends. You will eat a rainbow of colors and textures while being gluten free. Your ability to cook will soar and your taste buds will find natural flavors enticing. It isn't a life sentence to cardboard tasting foods, it's a glorious new beginning to eating foods that are rich in natural flavor.

Join us on this journey and try some great new foods.
