The Un-Gluten Guy (My Gluten Free Recipes & GF Adventures)

The name says it all. I found this brand a few years ago and was super stoked. All of the  Feel Good Foods products are GF and they keep adding new items. Great items to keep in the freezer for a quick snack or something to nosh on during the game. Here is the story we all know to well. Love food then get diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Do you like soup dumplings, pot stickers and egg rolls? How about pizza bagels, mozerella sticks and more? They even have you covered for breakfast with bagels and pancakes. My go to's are the: Pork soup dumplings - https://amzn.to/474sCAL Crispy chicken bites - https://amzn.to/4csQEsB Blueberry pancake balls - https://amzn.to/46Ipavg Enjoy!  

 A while back I found a section in my local Whole Foods with  Urban Remedy Products. The company and founder are based in California with goals to eat consciously, eat clean, and to teach the world that food is healing. And everything is gluten free. Lets start with some of my favorite beverages. Check out their  Chocolate Protein Shake And the  Warrior Meal Shake And the  Shroom Coffee They have lots of salads and bowls but my favorite is the Soba Noodle Salad If you want something sweet they have options. My favorite dessert option is the  Tiramisu Check it out and let me know what you think.

 My daughter was waiting for a year after she first heard about Gluten Free Cheez-It  coming to market. I remember Cheez-Its from my pre-celiac days, so I had something to compare them to. For many, this may be your first time eating Cheez-It's Once we got a few boxes I was able to try them. And... Pretty darn good. Same crunch from what I remember. I believe the OG was more cheezy? And like many GF items there was a bit of an aftertaste. But, would I eat them again? Yes, and I have. What are the ingredients? What did the reviews say? Most of the 1 and 2 star reviews were because the item was out of stock. Have you tried them yet? What did you think?

 If you are like me, food shopping is a blessing and a curse. I love finding new GF products. But, at times I get angry walking through a store seeing all of the things I can not eat any longer. My daughter found  Love Me Gluten Free  a GF subscription gift box full of GF goodies. We have received it for the past few months and every month the box is a happy surprise. Not only do you get around ten GF food items but a handful of coupons (since we all know GF food is not cheap) and a GF goodie. These are some of the items that came this month: Check them out and see what you think!

 I can not say enough good things about  Solare Restaurant Start with Antipasti The homemade GF bread with EVOO for dipping is delicious Move on to salads Trust me you can not go wrong with the Pear and Gorgonzola salad. They have pasta and pizza, both which can be made GF And lots of entrees My favorite is the tomahawk pork chop Be sure to save room for dessert. I always get the mousse. The staff is super knowledgeable and almost everything can be modified to be GF if it is not marked on the menu. I have eaten here dozens of times and never had any issues. Enjoy!

Not necessarily GF related but many of us suffer from arthritic knee pain and occasionally need treatment such as shots or surgery. My day job is as an Orthopedic Surgeon who specializes in Knee Replacement. During Covid I wrote a book so patients could understand, in easy to digest language, what arthritic knee pain is and how to treat it. I cover exercises and over-the-counter medications. I discuss what a Baker's cyst is and why you probably don't need an MRI. I also discuss how to know when you might need a knee replacement, what the surgery entails and how to rehab effectively to get the best result.
