My newest article over at tuja wellness covers a few (fun?) things they don’t tell you about diving into a new gluten-free lifestyle.
You might shed a few tears, miss a few foods, and find some new products, but there’s definitely some positive parts of living the gluten-free life. Check it out here.
(Also… So many updates to come! Giveaway winners, Disney recap, new recipes, lots of events, awesome reviews, and more!)
Today I made a cake. It is so delicious. I’ve also eaten an awful lot of frosting. Here’s a bit of a sneak peek.
The recipe will be in my next Standard article, but note this: there is maple involved, and a lot of it.
That being said, I had a great day, so let’s celebrate with extending this giveaway.
You have ’til Monday (it IS a holiday, after all!) to enter.
You can win one of two copies of The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes and Cookies or one of two GF Coaching sessions.
In addition, I’m offering coaching sessions for half price until Monday. You don’t have to have your session between now and then, but as long as you book it, you get 50 percent off!
As I’ve mentioned I’m the gluten-free columnist over at tuja wellness. My latest article covers the details on baking with new gluten-free flours, a condensed version of my long-winded (!) details in The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Bread and The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes and Cookies.
Side note: Did you know that The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes and Cookies is now available? I’ll be updating all of the details (most are there) on my website, the book launch is February 9th, and these biscotti are amazing (and in the book):
But let’s get back to the flours. Focus, Laurie, focus. (If you know me in real life, I get really distracted and start talking about food and recipes randomly in most (all?) conversation).
This originally appeared in the St. Catharines Standard in early December 2012. I’m posting it here to share the ideas and recipes with you.
The month of holiday entertaining is upon us, and I’ll venture I’m not the only one donning a red apron and humming renditions of Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas” while whipping up treats in the kitchen, decking my halls, and trimming my tree.
Even better, what comes along with the excitement of the season is the desire to spread it to others, most often in the form of gatherings, the kind where everyone mixes and mingles and makes all things merry and bright.
One key to being the holiday host that’ll jingle everyone’s bells is having a spread of finger foods full of local flavors… without having to resort to roasting chestnuts over the open fire (though that certainly would be delicious).
This recipe is from the article “Last Minute Holiday Entertaining”, originally appearing in the St. Catharines Standard.

Halloween is synonymous with “sugar rush”, but banishing it completely takes out all the fun. When else can kids load up their pillowcases with enormous amounts of candy, skip through the neighbourhood with smiles galore, and count the seconds to sort their stash as soon as they get home?
(I was totally one of those kids…)

A bit of an excerpt from my column, Gluten Freedom, titled: “Sneaky Little Protein”:
If your diet is reliant on packaged foods, the hard Dr. Phil
truth is you may have to adjust your eating habits.
Luckily, many items like fresh fruits and vegetables are naturally
gluten-free and give your body the nutrients it needs—especially
after cleaning up the mess gluten’s left behind.
