What do you Mean You Don’t Like Veggies?
What do you mean it’s too hard to make them taste good? It’s really not hard if you keep an open mind and take advantage of what is available. I am very lucky to have a nearby market where they feature locally grown and mostly organic produce. I stop by there on the weekend and [...]

Summertime, and the Gluten Free Grillin’ is Easy…
It’s hot here in South Florida. Tropical hot. Steamy hot. Stupid hot. Days like this, you don’t want to heat up the oven and by extension, the kitchen. And so we grill. Grilling is an incredibly easy way to get a whole bunch of flavorful and healthful food prepared at the same time. I’m a [...]
Why I Don’t Wear Shorts
Sometimes we teach best what we need to learn. A good friend of mine told me this, years ago, as he could always tell what was going on in my personal life by the way I taught my Spinning® class. (This was back in the infancy of Spinning® when it was a bit different than [...]

Want to See a Gluten Free Show/Chef on the Food Network?
Me too!! On Twitter the other day I caught a tweet from @GopherStudyBlue “@FoodNetwork needs a show on a quickly growing niche: gluten-free and alternative baking/cooking. #foodie #foodnetwork #glutenfree” In non-Twitter speak, this translates to “The Food Network should capitalize on the quickly growing, and becoming more popular, gluten free community that would love to [...]
Contamination in Naturally Gluten Free Grains-but Don’t Panic
Last week I posted about the proposed FDA guidelines for labeling an item gluten free. These guidelines would allow products with less than 20 ppm (parts per million) to be labeled gluten free. My thoughts were that if you eat one item that contains 20 ppm of gluten, there may be no issue. However, if [...]
