It’s hard to believe that with 2016, we’re now entering our 9th year of blogging here at No Gluten, No Problem, with more than 700 blog posts under our belt. As we look back on 2015, these posts were the most popular of the year. They included some recipes, of course, but also some commentaries on various major […]
Paris-Brest
Depending on your perspective, one of the wonderful, or intimidating, or annoying things about the holidays are the decadent recipes that only make an appearance once or twice per year. They’re more involved and thus reserved just for special occasions, a labor of love to bring them to the holiday table for all to enjoy. […]
Croquembouche
Here’s a sobering statistic: the average American adult watches a staggering 4 to 5+ hours of television per day. It seems that in this season of light, the “light” that shines through the darkness comes from our televisions, computers, tablets, and smartphones.

How Celiac Disease Hitched a Ride into our DNA

Mushroom Medley Pasta
Whether for texture or taste or some other less-definable characteristic, my love of certain foods has been slower to come around. In some cases, it’s still coming and I’m not sure it’ll ever truly arrive. (I’m talking about you, strong cheeses.) In other cases, it has taken decades.

Buyer Beware: Enough is Enough
Two weeks ago I was browsing the gluten-free news when a headline at Yahoo! Food piqued my interest: “Panera is Testing Gluten-Free Bread Options.” I read on with raised eyebrows… About how the company is testing a focaccia made with white sorghum, chia, flax, olive oil, and other ingredients. About how the roll is being made with […]
