About a week ago, I received an email from Naturally Soergel’s in Wexford (north of Pittsburgh) about a class they were offering tonight. Seasonal Eating and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for a Healthy Body was listed as the topic. I can’t say that I popped up like a Toaster Strudel with excitement or had a feeling … Read More › 
As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t understand why pizza is such a sought after food. I never did…yet somehow these past two months I’ve probably eaten more pizza than I have in all of 2013 combined. It seems to be one of those foods that the more you eat it, the more you crave it. … Read More › 
Take two…another try at the gluten free pizza at Luciano’s Italian Brick Oven in Mars. While it still doesn’t top my list, I liked it far better this time around. Rather than ordering a plain cheese pizza, this time we went for the Hawaiian with pineapple and ham. The center was still on the soft … Read More › 
I went to my second MeetUp today! I was so pleased with my first outing at The Cheesecake Factory that I signed up for another. After having done the first one alone to test out the waters and force myself to talk to strangers, I asked my newly gluten free friend if she’d like to … Read More › 
When I picked up the parsnips at Soergel’s for Fresh Friday a couple weeks ago, I almost bought jicama instead. I debated between the two for a few minutes before concluding that the dirty looking carrot seemed less intimidating. This Fresh Friday, I’m tackling the jicama! I tackled…and it fought back. I tried and tried … Read More › 
I had never bought food at T.J. Maxx or Marshalls (I don’t really know why as long as you check the dates it isn’t really a big deal) but now I keep checking and checking and checking. Why? One day a reflective gold foil package with flames spoke to me and made me buy it…or … Read More › 
Obviously having these issues can make you tense and full of what ifs, but that’s when you need to step back and see something that others wouldn’t. I wandered into a public restroom recently and immediately chuckled. I couldn’t help myself. For a split second, it felt like it was designed for someone with tummy … Read More › 
Are you a sweet snacker or salty snacker? I have always been a salter so when I noticed a dozen recipes for baking parmesan cheese chips (basically all of which were identical) I drooled. Between being salty, gluten free and low carb, I set aside a little time to see if these were worth putting in my … Read More › 
I tried Moe’s Southwest Grill gluten free menu offerings today! Walking in, I started off on my phone finding the gf options online but then saw a Food Mission pamphlet on the glass case. Opening that up, there is a clear list with pictures of meats, toppings and sauces that are gluten free. After viewing … Read More › 
Yesterday I mentioned that I had developed tricks and habits over the years to help me deal with anxiety when going out of the house. I decided I’d share some of those with you to try to illustrate my thought process and why I’m having trouble breaking them now even though they aren’t as necessary … Read More ›
