Monday Mantra: “Don’t worry – be happy!”

Posted on December 16, 2013 by glutenfreegus • 6 Comments

“Don’t Worry Be Happy”: eat more pie, at least just a little. A Canadian study reports we crave food we deny ourselves; the stricter we are, the more we desire (chocolate, ice cream, pie….)

Monday Mantra: Eat To Live Or Live To Eat

Posted on November 11, 2013 by glutenfreegus • 7 Comments

Eat to live or live to eat?  That is the question. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) knew the answer, and you probably do too. When we “diet” it is often with the sense of deprivation, of going without. Some have physical conditions that require a unique approach to food. Gus’s reason for following a strict gluten-free diet … Continue reading →

“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.” ― François de La Rochefoucauld Sadly we ate very little corn this summer.

Monday Mantra – Happiness

When Gus was first diagnosed with Celiac Disease and Type 1 Diabetes he often weighed their complications, wishing most for a cure for Celiac Disease: too bothersome and alienating to be consigned to such a restrictive diet. One couldn’t easily eat at friends’ houses, it was hard to watch teammates eat pizza at hockey or … Continue reading →

As I was headed out the door to Wednesday’s Farmers’ Market Nate reminded me he wanted eggs. “But only if they’re from pasture raised chickens… ONLY if the chickens have been running around OUTSIDE!” he called after me.

Starting in 2000  Portland Pie’s … Continue reading →

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 →
