Gluten Free Vegan Gyro
I’ve spent a Euro, but never eaten a Gyro (Sandwich)… only important to neophytes like myself who recently learned that “Gyro” is pronounced “Euro.” When a reader’s request for a recipe for gluten-free, vegan Gyro, was quickly and enthusiastically seconded by Nate, we went to work. Plus we already had a big ol’ batch of Tzatziki … Continue reading
Monday Mantra: The Power of One
The Power of One – The Power of You Ask, and eventually you (or someone) will receive.

However at age 8 he started practicing Angel Food Cake with his grandmother, Mimi, and went solo at 13. 3. I made … Continue reading
Gluten Free Blueberry Doughnuts
The 5 pounds of organic native Maine blueberries Nate ordered were harvested last week: blueberry salsa, scones, pancakes, smoothies, pie, cobbler. Actually a five pound box isn’t that big; couple of pies and you’re out. But enough were saved for doughnuts! Continue reading
Monday Mantras – Resources
The day Gus came home from the hospital, having been double-whammied with Celiac Disease and Type 1 Diabetes, I went to our local independent health food store for prepared GF “snacks” one could pack for First Grade School Lunch. Resources were slim, but in addition my perspective was limited by post-diagnosis shock. (I wasn’t exactly … Continue reading
The United States of Sandwiches: Maine Lobster Rolls
