Happy Holidays!
We will be closed the week of Christmas to give our staff a well deserved break and time with their families, therefore we will not be shipping any orders. We will ship on the 30th to all orders West of the Mississippi and then resume normal shipping the week of the 6th.

Do You Pay Attention to Your Food Allergy?

melting chocolate

Did anyone else read the report that came out a couple of weeks ago stating that many people ignore food-allergy warnings despite receiving a food allergy diagnosis?  Initially after reading the article, I couldn’t help but wonder why anyone would knowingly risk an allergic reaction.  Then I thought about it. If, for example, I had a non-life threatening chocolate allergy and someone told me that I could no longer eat chocolate, could I really eliminate chocolate completely?

Plant a Garden – They’re Naturally Gluten-Free

herb bucket

Spring is here. We all start to come out of hibernation, smell the budding trees and early flowers. We get out of the house for long walks and watch as the world comes to life again.  It’s the perfect time for clearing out the clutter both in our bodies and in our homes and recommitting to those health and wellness goals we made back in January.

If one of your goals was to improve your eating habits, this is the perfect time to plant a garden to support your nutrition goals.

No place for Aspartame in Gluten-free Baked Goods!

Aspartame danger sign

If you don’t like people hopping on a soap box, then this particular post might not be for you. If you can handle a rant, read on because I’ve got a lot to say about why Aspartame has no place in any food product, anywhere!

After all of the research and anecdotal evidence that shows just how nasty this artificial sweetener can be, I can’t believe that we are still having the debate over Aspartame (You also know it as Nutra Sweet or Equal). That this additive has not been banned internationally is beyond reason.  (Actually, it’s not all that surprising when you hear a bit about the history of how this product was approved by the FDA in the first place.)

C’mon. One Bite Won’t Hurt: Helping Others Understand Your Gluten-Free Lifestyle

holiday cookies

As I write this post, Boulder has been covered in a blanket of white, glistening snow signaling that it is once again that time of year where there’s a party almost every day. Yes, the holidays are upon us and thus my annual battle to maintain a healthy diet has begun.  Even if you have no food allergies, it is nearly impossible to eat a 100% healthy diet all the time and it is especially hard during the holiday season, which pretty much lasts from Thanksgiving through New Year’s. (Okay, for some of us Halloween actually kicks off the challenge)

There are sweets around every corner. You have office parties, cookie decorating gatherings, and the seemingly endless flow of friends and neighbors dropping by with plates of homemade holiday treats. You find yourself wishing that New Year’s Eve would get here already so you don’t have to deal with the insensitivity! Unless you become a hermit during the holidays, it really can be hard to escape the onslaught of celebratory deliciousness.

Gluten Free Halloween

Today is Halloween which typically means some serious sugar highs followed by some crashin’ and burnin’ when it comes to blood sugar levels. There just ain’t no healthy way to spin this holiday, even if you go gluten-free. Rather than giving you a list of healthy alternatives for Halloween, I’m just going to share some … Read more
