YES!  Strawberries ARE gluten-free!

Hello dear readers, a little bit about me and this site:

The Taste Testers: I am the cook for my family. We have three girls all under 9 yrs old. And my hubby who was diagnosed with Celiac Sprue 3 years ago.

The Budget: I am financially irreplaceable and yet, without any compensation for being so. So our household budget is somewhere between middle class and dirt poor. We eat a variety of meats, starches, vegetables and fruits in season (mostly). The goal is not to eat $.50 meals, but to keep it reasonable at the end of the day. And I’m pretty dog-gone good at it. I think my hubby would shoot me if I told what I spend on groceries – ya know men and their money issues! But we are along the Canada Revenue guidelines of $200 per person for groceries for a month. Although I think that those amounts are quite generous!

The Food: This site is dedicated to recipes that:

• are gluten-free &
• kid-friendly
• include a variety – everybody seems to like something different so at least one or two people are happy at each meal. Although, smiles and thank you’s are necessary all around for this mom not to go on strike!
• prepared in 1/2 hour or less
• are not gourmet or fancy, unless I want them to be
• promote balanced eating – not necessarily fat-free or sugar-free. Our focus is on making healthy choices more often than not. so you will find cakes, cookies, etc – because we love those choices too!

The Cook: Addicted to comments.  Reserve my personal chit chat for my Mommy Motivation site.  Mostly.  Absolutely NO time for formal training in the role of meal-provider.

I love to hear from you! So leave me a note through the contact form, or a comment on the recipes that you’ve tried! Love to hear how they turned out for you.
