About
Healthy, happy and gluten free!
My oldest son was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2004 and we have been living gluten free every since. I’m the co-founder of the nonprofit, Gluten Free Foundation, and author of children’s picture books on healthy eating.
I was greatly inspired by my son’s unwavering positive attitude to our diet and have created “Fine Cooks…Everything Gluten Free” to emphasize the beneficial aspects of gluten free living. I challenge everyone to know what it is like to feel healthy and great every day.
I believe lifelong habits begin at an early age and that children are never too young to start learning about nutrition and understanding how different foods make them feel. As an advocate for children’s health, I conduct speaking engagements, cooking demonstrations and visit schools to read my books and discuss the importance of healthy living.
Children can learn to make good choices on their own and understand how food makes them feel. If my children could name every Star Wars character at the age of four, then I figured they could learn about what’s healthy for their body and what’s not.
This website incorporates my “Mom Cooks Gluten Free” blog that features delicious, quick and easy comfort foods, as well as simple “how to” tips for cooking and living gluten free.
Family cooking, free spirit and fun all gathered in one place to make gluten free living a healthy and happy way of life.
We’re glad you’re here!

I moved to Texas about a year ago, and have been searching out a great BBQ place since I moved here. Hands down, this is the BEST BBQ in TEXAS! My son packed down the food, and we always had someone asking us if we were ok or needed assistance. I love the Southern manners here, it is such a nice change to the hustle and bustle of North City life. The sides, mouth watering good. I recommend the creamed corn, that was my favorite side. We tried them all. I have tried all the places on the Food Network, so this is a very honest response.

Koreans do make a couple of different kinds of gluten free soy sauces and they've been around for thousands of years. The one that will be easier to find in the US is called Guk Ganjang (국간장) which literally means Soup Soy Sauce, meaning that it's a delicate soy sauce made for flavoring soups. The other kind is called Joseon Ganjang (조선간장). Both of these soy sauces are the by-product of doenjang (Korean miso) production. The reason that Koreans don't use these kind of soy sauces for bulgogi is that it's not considered bold enough for beef. The reason that the Japanese and Koreans added wheat to the soy sauce in the first place was to create a bolder, stronger flavor sauce for meats and and they were able to make more sauce at a lower cost.

I haven't tried it with a different mix yet. Maybe it would work with a gf muffin mix?

This is great! Thanks for sharing. I haven't been to Old Ebbitt since being diagnosed, so I'm excited that one of my favorite spots is GF-friendly! Would love to hear about other restaurants you liked or did not like.
