An easy, homemade turkey soup simmered in a CrockPot. My favorite cure. A certain soup slurping and prickly individual (we won't name names, to protect the innocent) has been feeling under the weather for so long now the sensation is in danger of becoming a habit. Yes, the tree pollen onslaught continues. Blessed by a wet winter, Southern California trees are celebrating with copious amounts of... © 2005-2010 Gluten-Free Goddess All rights reserved.

The osteoporosis drug Fosomax which is supposed to strengthen bones may in fact cause spontaneous fractures, with many women’s femurs actually snapping, according to a report on ABC news. One doctor explains the problem: “When [women] are on it for five, six, seven or eight years, they lost their ability to remodel and regenerate their [... Read more...

The first time I heard of Jowar Roti was when I was on a trip to India and staying in Bangalore. I read in a blog that the “Jolad rotti oota” in Kamat Minerva (at Minerva circle) in Bagalore was absolutely amazing. The Jowar Roti there might even be gluten-free- but I didn’t have time to go and investigate. Once I returned to the States i didn’t think much about it, but I’d filed away the thought of single flour, gluten-free roti. Read more...

So… my Love bought me a shiny new bread machine. I’ve had a really hard time getting TIME to bake bread like I used to. Between teaching (grading papers, planning, etc), playing with the Imp, and trying to maintain some type of order to our lives, I just don’t bake bread anymore. BUT, I have been buying bread. And unhappily at that. Homemade GF bread beats the *socks* off any frozen or other form of GF bread available in the markets. And let me just say this: I’ve tried them ALL. Read more...
P.F. Chang’s truly goes out of their way to accommodate the gluten-free diner and anyone with food allergies.

Like many people who love to cook, I've got a thing for cookbooks, especially old ones. I go through old bookstores, thrift shops and even the collections of my family and friends looking for old treasures. A while back I checked out the cookery section at Project Gutenberg, but didn't find anything all that interesting. Time makes all the difference in the world, especially when transferring old books into a digital format. Read more...
This is what it looked like on my walk to the train last Friday. Yeah, that's my house. Just kidding! A celiac chick can dream though, right? It was beautiful, but treacherous. Why am I telling you this? Well, look... Read more...
People, I have a problem.I'm in love with corn tortillas.Oh, I'm still in love with my wonderful husband, who takes our daughter to the playspace on the island — to climb jungle gym equipment and feed pretend tea to her dolly — every morning about this time so I can settle in front of the computer and write these words.(And live on Twitter for a bit.

This month the Adopt-a-gluten-free-blogger Event is being graciously hosted by Thomas of the GFCF Experience. With his help, I actually had time to adopt a gluten-free blogger this month! I met Ali of Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen at the Blogher Food ‘09 event. Those of us who blogged gluten-free had a lot to talk about at the event, and I enjoyed chatting to Ali. Not only was she gluten-free but also was a mom with twin babies at home. Read more...

Can you guess whose cookbook we cooked out of this week?You can't? What, have you been hiding under a big old rock the past couple of months? That's Ree Drummon, the Pioneer Woman herself, force of nature, damned good writer, authentic being, hilarious hoot, and amazing woman. Her cookbook has been on the New York Times bestseller list.

It makes me mad when I hear relatively recently diagnosed Celiacs talk about how they haven’t had pizza or bread since diagnosis… or that when they have had it, they didn’t enjoy it. It is not that I am mad at them- far from it! No, I’m mad at a society that equates bread products with gluten, and mad at companies that create allergen-free bread completely lacking in taste or appeal that scar these poor souls so dreadfully that they vow off bread entirely.

The beauty of a biga is the rich slightly fermented flavor they give a loaf of bread. The depth of flavor is intensely satisfying when you eat these loaves. The first time I made this loaf, I didn't allow the biga to mature to the full 18 hours. Instead I stopped it about 8 hours, because I really needed a loaf of bread for my dinner party. The resulting bread looked and tasted good, but that extra something was missing. So, I made it again and allowed the biga to ferment for 24 hours. Read more...

The Academy Awards take place on March 7th. By now, I would've seen most of the movies, but alas, I've only seen Julie & Julia, which I loved. Meryl Streep, in my opinion, is a sure bet for Best Leading Actress in this movie. Read more...

Purim just isn't complete without the delicious triangular purim cookies we call hamantaschen. I love my original gluten-free hamantaschen recipe, which is made with agave nectar instead of refined sugar, but it's a little too cakey for some people. Today I tried my hand at revising the recipe to make the cookie a bit more crisp, more like a sugar cookie in its consistency. Did it work? Well, these are certainly more crisp than the original recipe. Read more...
