Does your family have to make gluten-free arrangements at Thanksgiving? For years my extended family never changed the menu to accommodate my special diet. Here are some strategies for staying safe at meals and making sure you leave the meal as full as everyone else. More

Perhaps the most personal dish on the Thanksgiving table is stuffing. Here is a recipe for a classic gluten-free version with plenty of ways to personalize it to fit your preferences. Want apples? Sausage? Or my favorite, a chicken liver stuffing? All of that is allowed and encouraged. More

Cellophane noodles—known in various guises as Chinese vermicelli, bean threads, bean thread noodles, crystal noodles, or glass noodles—should be one of those items you keep in your pantry to use in a pinch. Made from mung beans, yam, or potato starch, the gluten-free noodles are quite versatile. They are equally good tepid as they are warm, and they can be served in soups and hotpots, used in stir-fries in place of wheat noodles, or served cold in salads. More

Gluten-free baking mixes have been available for a long time at health food and specialty stores, but it's only recently that everyday supermarkets have gotten into the game. Betty Crocker now has a line of easy, inexpensive, and readily available gluten free mixes. This week I baked a batch of the chocolate chip cookies. More

It was not until I was forced to go gluten-free that I started really eating pomegranates. My motto? "If it doesn't have gluten in it, I'm eating it." Pomegranates intimidated me for years. Their tough skin and thick pith seemed pretty impenetrable. More

It's amazing how many of my meals start on Twitter. Rarely, however, does a food suggestion from Twitter get delivered to my door. The other day, a friend mentioned that his favorite summer salad involved onions, ripe tomatoes, and purslane. I wrote back: "I've never even eaten purslane before. That sounds intriguing." A few days later, he showed up at our house with purslane and the ingredients for a simple salad. More

Are you the kind of cook who follows recipes? Or do you wing it? At home, I'm more of a toss-it-together-and-hope-it-works kind of cook. Most of the time I pull it off. But recently a friend asked for my help coming up with recipes for gluten-free sausage dishes. Gulp! More

In the introduction to The Gloriously Gluten-Free Cookbook, Vanessa Maltin describes the first few years after she was diagnosed with celiac as being quite unpleasant when it came time to eat. Although her health improved vastly with her new diet, her mealtime experiences were nothing to write home about. Instead of suffering through a life of mediocre meals she turned her attention to the kitchen and figured out how to make gluten-free meals that were not only acceptable diet-wise but truly delicious. Enter here to win a copy of the cookbook. More

When Mary Capone launched a line of gluten-free mixes, Bella Gluten-Free, and offered samples at Cayenne Kitchen, my local kitchen store in Longmont, Colorado, of course I had to try all of the samples. It was quite a surprise. In a blind taste test, I doubt anyone would be able to pick out the multigrain sandwich bread as gluten free. And not only was it indistinguishable from yeast bread, it was actually tasty all by itself. More
