Review of Generation Gluten Free-the Documentary
Have you ever watched something and thought to yourself: “Ah-well, then it’s going to be just fine,” with a big sigh of relief? That’s how I felt after watching this very well done documentary on living well with celiac disease. The film’s director, Susan Cohen, also recently celebrated her 10 year anniversary of living gluten [...]
Weekend Roundup! Gluten Free/Nutrition Goodies of the Week
I have been a bit out of touch this past week, as I have a started a new job in “real life.” It’s going to be very rewarding I think, although doubtless hard work, and of course a learning curve. That has kept me quite busy and away from GFF. Luckily, there were lots of [...]
Zucchini-The Naturally Gluten Free Veggie of the Day and Not Really Recipe Fail
Actually it’s the naturally gluten free veggie of the summer. Actually, all veggies are naturally gluten free. (That is, in their natural state, and barring any preparation styles using gluten, of course.) Score! Zucchini is an incredibly prolific vegetable in the summer.

Saturday Round Up-Gluten Free and Nutrition Goodies of the Week

The Paleo Diet for Celiacs?
I’ve been struggling mightily with this one. Seriously, I just deleted a couple pages I’d already written, and then decided that was very stupid. Here’s the thing. I’ve said before that living healthfully and gluten free is a lifestyle, not a “diet.” I just hate the connotations that come along with the word diet. There’s [...]
Think Thin Bars Review-Redux
Think Products has been one busy company. They make the gluten free snack products ThinkThin protein bars, ThinkThin dessert bars, and ThinkThin bites. I reviewed a few flavors of the Think Thin protein bars last year. Click here to read the reviews of the Brownie Crunch, Chunky Peanut Butter, Chocolate Mudslide, and White Chocolate chip [...]
Intuitive Eating-you Eat Therefore you Think? Getting your Mind into your Food
What does our brain have to do with eating, anyway? Well, as it turns out, quite a bit. If you have struggled at all with eating or weight issues, you’ve no doubt heard that people eat “mindlessly” or that eating is often used to deal with emotional issues that may have nothing to do with [...]
