Brief Hiatus…

July 13, 2011 By 4 Comments

Greetings lovely readers!

I’m currently writing my thesis for my Master’s program (see mess above). I promise it is more organized than it looks! ;) We will be back with regular recipe postings after I submit the thesis at the end of August. In the mean time, enjoy your summer and we will see you soon…very soon!

xoxo,

Jess

P.S. I’ll remain active on Twitter and Facebook while I’m gone; feel free to follow me there. For those who might be interested, I am writing my thesis on the “Positive and Negative Effects of Grains on Health.”

Tuesday Treasures: Gluten-Free at Fleming’s

June 14, 2011 By 4 Comments

There are a wide variety of steak houses where you can order a modified gluten-free friendly dish, but Fleming’s is one of those steak houses that takes it to the next level and offers a large gluten-free menu. I had the chance to dine at one of the Austin Fleming’s locations recently and was pleasantly surprised at how large the gluten-free menu is, how knowledgeable the wait staff and chef were about the gluten-free lifestyle, and how eager they were to learn more about the lifestyle.

May is Celiac Awareness Month!

May 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Did you know that there are over 300 symptoms associated with Celiac Disease?

Did you know that Celiac Disease affects 3 million Americans, yet 95% of sufferers don’t even know they have the disease?

Since my diagnosis, I have seen a large amount of gluten-free products hitting the shelves, and an increased amount of gluten-free options in restaurants (I talked about this on the news). I’m thankful for this. Not only because it makes my life easier (and yours), but it also means there has been an increased amount of awareness.

Gluten-Free News Segment on KVUE (ABC Austin)

April 13, 2011 By 6 Comments

I was honored to film a news segment on KVUE this morning. We talked about how Austin is on the forefront of the gluten-free dining scene.

Some of the links I mentioned in the video include:

Chez Zee: a great gluten-free friendly restaurant with a gluten-free menu. They have brunch, lunch and dinner. The menu includes desserts and beer!

Ratio by Michael Ruhlman: This book has opened my eyes to a whole new world of gluten-free baking. The book describes the basic ratios for baking by weight with biscuits, muffins, cookies, pancakes and more. I would recommend purchasing a kitchen scale and this book. Begin experimenting with different gluten-free flour combinations using the basic ratios mentioned in the book. You will be surprised at all the baking possibilities and recipe creations you will come up with all on your own.

Kitchen Scale by Oxo: This is the kitchen scale I use. It is very easy to use and a great price.

Do you have any questions? Feel free to leave a comment in the comment section or shoot me an email (atxglutenfree@gmail.com).

Stay tuned for some more mouthwatering recipes coming up. I’ve been working on some real winners!

ATX Gluten-Free News: April 2011

April 12, 2011 By 5 Comments

Welcome to another segment of Austin gluten-free news. We have not done one of these in a while; mainly because we made a large list of restaurants for SXSW and the gluten-free scene has been relatively quiet compared to the beginning of the year. We still have some great news to share with you all. So let’s get started…

Eddie V’s is rolling out a gluten-free menu on May 1st. Just in time for mother’s day! The arboretum location will be open for brunch. Both locations will be open for dinner on Mother’s Day.

AMC Theatres has introduced a new “healthy snack pack” at all their theatres. The snack pack includes two gluten-free food options.  [Read more...]

Coconut-Lemon Sugar Cookies, Bake Sale for Japan

March 28, 2011 By 6 Comments

I used to say I would never bake. That is because I am not the type of cook that likes to measure things, and with baking, you need to measure or it does not work. You can’t just throw it in a bowl, mix, and hope for the best. It’s more complicated than that. During the gluten-free ratio rally, I began to see a new light in baking. I learned a great deal from reading along the different blog posts associated with the rally, and began to have more confidence when it came to baking. I purchased a kitchen scale and began experimenting. So far, I have been pleased with the results. This is only the beginning. I have a feeling I will find flour in my hair and on my clothes on a more regular basis now. [Read more...]
