July’s Potluck marked one year of successful Potluck Dinner Club get togethers, each of which held a plethora of gluten free and restrictive diet friendly goodies. This theme was cheese, one of my favorite foods! We had a turn out of approximately 15 people, which was on the bigger side for our events. Here’s a Read More …
Things are finally starting to warm up around here on Long Island so, to take advantage of this, June’s potluck was Picnic and BBQ themed. We held it at a local picnic area near a beach, and it was a fun afternoon and evening. Aside from the food, we played lawn golf, listened to music, Read More …
Did you have any great gluten free experiences this weekend? Mine seemed full of them… As if my friends and I can’t get enough of each other, or eating, we not only had our German Potluck this past Saturday but also got together Sunday to make Gluten Free Empanadas. Now, Empanadas are typically made from Read More …

It was not only beautiful weather but the blossoms were in full bloom, so it was simply magical (although packed). See?: We walked almost 16 miles admiring the blossoms, taking in the Read More …
I feel blessed to have such wonderful friends, and I am always reminded this during our monthly Potlucks. This month’s Potluck theme was ‘Favorite Dish’. I was scared with this one, a bit worried about whether people would alter their favorite dishes to accommodate my dietary needs, but as always I was stunned at the Read More …
Two weeks ago we had another Potluck for our Potluck Dinner Club. We picked November 23rd as the date to try something difficult and creative for gluten free fare: British food (which also encompassed Irish, Welsh, and Scottish). The reason?
