2021 and Still Cooking at Home!

2020 brought lots of us back into our kitchens up close and personal. After 10 months of cooking numerous meals at home I am running out of ideas/inspirations/imagination for both shopping and cooking!

This post is an invite to participate and support each other in our cooking endeavors.

If you have a particular dish you would be interested in sharing here please comment to the post with your ideas. I’ll create a recipe/menu with suggestions and get them posted in the coming months.

If you have a particular recipe you really like you can reach out via my email – nourishme.gf@gmail.com – we can correspond to share recipes and get them posted here at the site.

Check out our post for January 2021 with two recipes

Sausage and Sauerkraut and Spaetzle

Chris writes……“On the health side, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 20 years ago this year. Back then, no one had heard of it and nothing was marketed as gluten-free.”

A Message from gfJules on National Gluten Free Day!!

Today is National Gluten Free Day, so I thought I should take a moment and share some of the most surprising places gluten may be hiding. Did you know about ALL these places? Some of them are really tricky, and many come from personal or crowd-sourced experience. Learning the hard way that gluten lurks in that food is never fun, which is why sharing facts like these — on Gluten Free Day or otherwise — is the right thing to do to help keep each other safe. Where’s the most surprising place you’ve found gluten? Did you have to learn the hard way, or did some gluten-free angel show you the ropes?

Use this link to share your info, and to learn more about safe shopping and ordering out gluten-free. You’ll also find a larger, printable, sharable, pin-able image of this 10 Surprising Places graphic: https://gfjules.com/safe-gluten-free-shopping-eating/  

But Wait, There’s More!Don’t forget about all of the other articles I’ve written–and keep religiously up-to-date–about living this gluten free life we’re in the midst of. There’s a whole drop-down menu called “Popular Articles” on the gfJules.com homepage. Read them, share them–the more info more people have, the better for us all.

HOLIDAY LIGHT SHOW – PUBLIC SQUARE 

https://www.downtowncleveland.com/events/2020-winterfest

Nov. 28 – Jan. 3, 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. 

from Mary Lou……..MEMORIES and LOSS

My most favorite thing is packing the car the night before, getting up by 6:00, picking up my neighbor & drive to my daughter’s every year to be there as my grandchildren wake up. My son in law puts on coffee & all gather around their tree & watch the girls open their presents. After- wards, we have a brunch. This year will be very different as my son in law passed away 3 days before last Christmas. 

from Diane……. Check out The Repair Shop on

Netflix. https://www.netflix.com/title/81224128. 

The show highlights the history of family heirlooms and antiques and the expert artisans who bring them back to life.  Try it if you like the stories told on Antiques Roadshow and the geniality of the Great British Baking Show.
