Yesterday, before the hustle and bustle of the Thanksgiving weekend commenced, I woke up earlier than I needed, started the tea kettle, and slipped on my rain boots. Ice crystals were still on the patio table, and the world was just shaking awake on an uncharacteristically warm November morning as I went and opened up Read More …
To wrap up this Celiac Awareness Month I have decided to let my husband Mike (@MikeDRDtoBe on Twitter), an aspiring Dietitian, give his 2 cents about our relationship and make his debut on my blog. He’s a great man who went 100% gluten free at home with me without question when I was diagnosed, and Read More …
April’s potluck was a bit of an indulgence for a bunch of 20 and 30 something adults, but boy was it freaking delicious. For a change in pace we choose a type of food, rather than food from a particular ethnicity for a change, and went with Dessert as our theme. This time, we utilized Read More …
Yesterday here in Long Island it hailed, snowed, rained, and then the sun came out. The temperature ranged from around 30 to the low 50s within hours.

During that time period, we had dubbed ourselves the ‘McAwesomes’ and our place became the gathering hole for many of our friends quite often. Just prior to my Celiac Disease Diagnosis we Read More …
Today marks Celtic Celiac’s 3 year Anniversary. In my first post I wrote “I hope that I can make this journey valuable to the Celiac and gluten intolerance internet community” and I truly believe I have. However, I can always do better in helping to spread Read More …
This past year has been a year of change and excitement. There were big things: I graduated and became a Licensed Master of Social Work, I embarked on what some called impossible and planned an entirely gluten free wedding (which is now less than 3 weeks away!), and I started spreading my autoimmune disease/food allergy Read More …
The new moto for my life You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting much this year, let alone this summer. I can’t do anything other than to blame it on myself. There is a lot of change going on personally, professionally, and socially. I graduated, I directed volunteers for a major international conference, I traveled, Read More …
