Really Gluten Free? Or just a sad way to make an extra 1.50?

Hey All, Yes I’ve been on radio silence lately with the completion and opening of the bakery. But more about that later. First I want to share a little story about something that happened the other day that I, for one, have had it with. It was a few days ago (about two days before the opening of my sweet little bakery) while my BFF, Rick, was helping me with last minute details (of which there were many)!  We were both hungry and needed something fast to eat. Which as all you Celiacs and gluten challenged people know is next…

MY CELIAC IS NOT YOUR CELIAC!

There has been some back and forth from some of you about my recent blog – about my disgust with the lack of care for what goes into our gluten free food and major manufactures.  Some wrote that Dunkin Donuts new gluten free products are being made in a clean environment and that I should have researched that.  I did, and stated that in my blog.  Other comments were about your children being able to feel normal and being able to grab a donut with friends.  Yet another said it looked bad that I’m calling out Dunkin Donuts maybe because…

“It’s Gluten Free but NOT for Celiacs.” WTF?!

Hi Friends,  if you have followed my blog you probably know that I like to keep things moving in a positive direction.  Living with Celiac disease is enough to deal with without adding fuel to the fire by letting nonsense get to me.  Yes sometimes my health situation gets the best of me and I allow myself to wallow a bit,  but not for long.  In the past 3 months I decided to take the leap and open the bakery and a safe zone that I have been dreaming about since my diagnosis. I’m happy to say Jennifer’s Way Bakery…

2013 is Here! How Will You FEEL Better?!!!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now onto a new year, again.  Every year we make promises to ourselves to quit something, change something or start something.  I’m suggesting only one thing to adapt this year, BE KIND TO YOURSELF!  Forget all the pressure you put on yourself and incorporate treating yourself well.  That begins, in my opinion, with taking care of your health! Being Celiac, as many of you know takes tons of time, patience, self education, constant scrutiny of food, planning, and much, much more.  So why put even MORE pressure on yourself by silly resolutions. Don’t…

A Christmas Miracle! AND, The New Mascot For Jennifer’s Way Has Been Chosen!

OK, so here is the situation I found myself in last night.  One I’m sure many will appreciate… My lovely, wonderful boyfriend informs me that his friend from up the street is going to drop in.  I say, “When?”  I say this out loud (of course) but what really is going through my head is,  ”DROP IN?  Who DROPS IN?”  …Found out later that ‘dropping in’ is very big where my boyfriend comes from.  Lets just say where I come from we hid when then doorbell rang without further knowledge of the event.  But I digress.  My boyfriend answers, “In 5…

What’s Red, Round and Squishy in the middle? No, Not Santa!  (Holiday Giveaway)

Holiday time to me used to mean one of my all-time favorite things: baking Christmas cookies with my sister.  We would plan for weeks to make batches of all different kinds of cookies, chocolate chips, pecan cups, walnut balls and jam dot cookies.   This was a time not only to eat all those fresh baked yummy treats but a special time with my older sister who gave me her undivided attention for the evening.  Oh the joy!!  We baked with cousins, friends and then, eventually with her daughter and son.  When we both were diagnosed with celiac disease almost…
