A Muffin Top! We were in Boston for a conference, and in all my wisdom, I planned for everything but food. Because really, why would I think about eating when I had more pressing things like power points, great shoes and public speaking to think of? So needless to say, it kind of came back [...]
Really exciting news: Glutatic has been nominated as one of Canada’s Best Creative Activities Blog 2010. This category includes blogs about arts, crafts, cooking, photography etc. And I am over the moon excited to be nominated and even more stunned that people know about Glutastic! Warning; moment of gushy feelings ahead. Being nominated is one [...]
In the event that my subtlety is lost on you, here is reason #735.8 that GF Patisserie is the alter we worship at. Reason #735.8: Long distance cakes. Being an Aunt is the most amazing job I’ve ever had. Being an Aunt means I get all the great things about being a parent while skipping [...]
Brownies. We like them. We eat them a lot. And we really like to find new brands. So we were more than happy to do jumpy claps in the isles of Whole Foods when we saw these. I fell for the Better Batter packaging first. I’m not afraid to admit that I judge a brownie [...]

I’ve been thinking about doing a pizza week for months. Husband and I are lucky to be located between two wonderful pizza places that serve GF. My only hesitation was my Canadian content – yes, I’m just like CBC! I don’t like to post if my Canadian readers can’t find useful information because let’s face [...]
It was my birthday this past weekend. Hurray for me! I knew going in to this birthday that things were going to be different. Not only am I living in a new apartment, I’m living in a new city, in a new country, with different people and new things. I was also completely aware that [...]
Oh tender morsels of sugar and chocolate and nuts and awesome. How I love thee. CocoMira, Canada Post and my sister’s love of Chapters has changed my life – and maybe soon my waistline. CocoMira, a Canadian company, makes these awesome toffee/chocolate combos. They come in Maple Crunch, Hazelnut Crunch, and Dark Chocolate Crunch. They [...]
