Kendall Conrad has done a lovely job of recreating her gourmet recipes and customizing them to suit the principles which healed her child’s body- More Than 150 Delicious Specific Carbohydrate Diet(TM)-Compliant Recipes.
Author Kendall Conrad was faced with the fact that her youngest child’s gut and immune system had been severely compromised after her first ten months of life after being on many antibiotics to address severe ear infections. Her daughter finally needed surgery to drain her ears at only ten months old, which did resolve the ear troubles, but she was left with digestive troubles, wasn’t thriving, and wasn’t absorbing nutrients. Conrad spent a year visiting many doctors to no avail.
Conrad was introduced to a nutritionist who introduced her to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, which eliminated virtually all starch and complex sugars. The result was that her daughter began to grow and feel much better. She is now a thriving healthy child.
This cookbook and its detailed introduction shares many aspects of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet’s effects on many people with Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, diverticulitis, and other digestive conditions—to incredible results.
The recipes in Kendall’s book are gourmet in every sense of the word, and your family and guests will have no clue that each one of them is a strict adherent to the SCD.
This cookbook is given a thumbs up and is HIGHLY recommended by me.

Living a life with multiple food allergies did not place Marie-Annick Courtier in an extraordinary position until when, a few years ago, some of these foods became life-threatening, and she feared she’d have to give up not only her expertise and love of being a chef but also many of her favorite foods.
Determination, research, and time have not only resulted in her well-written cookbook, they have also resulted in Marie-Annick Courtier’s freedom from all allergies excluding aspirin.
With a Culinary Arts Degree, a background in science and nutrition, certification as a fitness nutritionist, and having her own chef school in Irvine, California, Marie offers much more to her readers than her nearly 150 recipes in her latest cookbook, Cooking Well: Wheat Allergies.
You’ll be additionally enlightened in the areas of Understanding Wheat Allergies, Living With Wheat Allergies, Nutrition’s Role, Eating Out, Organic Choice and Why, Foods to Avoid and Choose, and much more, including her Chef’s Secrets.
The chapters preceding her nutritionally labeled recipes are not only informative, but the information is all very well-written, and I had a sense of sitting with her as she selectively chose the key points she felt were important to impart.
I am armed with delicious breakfasts, soups, salads, main dishes, side dishes, desserts and more. All her recipes are easy to prepare and offer options and nutritional content. I can’t wait for the second book in this series!
This resource book is given a thumbs up and is HIGHLY recommended by me

Wow, this is some Gluten-Free German Apple Pancake!
(makes 2 large pancakes, or 4 servings)
These delicious gluten-free yummies should be served as soon as they’re pulled from the oven, as they will deflate soon enough. They’re perfect for an easy, laid-back brunch! Boy these are incredible and I make thes often to replace my buckwheat pancakes, which we love as well.
INGREDIENTS
4 eggs
¾ c GF flour mix ( or my flour mix)
¾ c soy, rice, or almond mix
½ tsp salt
1/3 c coconut oil
2 medium apples, thinly sliced
¼ c sugar
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Place 2 round layers pans, 9 by 1 ½ inches, in oven.
3. Beat eggs, flour, milk, and salt in small mixer bowl on medium speed for 1 minute.
4. Remove pans from oven. Place 2 tbsp margarine in each pan. Rotate pans until margarine is melted and coats sides of pans.
5. Arrange half the apple slices in each pan. Divide batter evenly between pans. Mix sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 2 tbsp sugar mixture over batter in each pan.
6. Bake uncovered until puffed and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

We can all get quite tired of the basic egg recipes, pancakes and maybe some gluten-free toast for breakfast. Look no further. Lisa Bishop has authored an entire book devoted to not only gluten-free breakfast but the added step of a grain-free breakfast.
Many recipes are simply coconut flour, flax, or neither, or offer unusual ways to play with vegetables to make for example fake fried potatoes—with no potatoes!
This book is a real solution to the problems many grain-free dieters face. The difficulties of making crispy waffles, creamy cereals, or softy pillowy pancakes are all resolved.
Delicious breakfasts are at your fingertips with each presentation unlike the other. This book truly presents variety in every sense of the word.
Start your day out right—enjoy a home-cooked grain-free meal in Fun & Fabulous Grain-Free Breakfast Recipes.
This cookbook is given a thumbs up and is HIGHLY recommended by me.

(Above) Coconut pie made with “Gluten Free Impossible Coconut Pie Mix”
Tucked away in Texas this gluten free company, Mixes from the Heartland, offers a diverse assortment of mixes from muffin and bread mixes to delicious soup mixes.
My test-staff and I, in California and Florida, found every one of their products to be easy and quick to make, conformed to alterations and additions with success, and were absolutely delicious. These are mixes the entire family can enjoy.
(Above) Chicken Veggie Soup made from the Gluten Free Chicken Veggie Soup Mix
Mixes from the Heartland is a family-owned company with a sincere care for the gluten-free and celiac community. With the cost of gluten free products typically being high, owner and CEO Teri Whisenhunt has steadfast determination to keep her products affordable by keeping middlemen off of her purchasing lines. According to Teri, they proudly carry the Celiac Sprue Seal of Approval, and they’re tested at under 5 ppm for wheat. They’ll soon carry a Vegetarian and All-Natural Seal of Approval. They are a 100% gluten-free factory.
With over 45 soup mixes and 25 meals, you can’t be at a loss for choices. They are a fast-growing company, always adding more, like their new sugar-free gluten-free mixes. Their desserts turned out light and true to the package. Teri goes on to say that any product that enters their factory must carry their own certification by the producer that it can pass the Eliza Test of less than 5 ppm of wheat.
This company goes the extra mile to ensure that any product their consumer purchases will be free of eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, oats, and gluten, and without bean flours used either.
Go to their site to order an item, a case or even fifty lbs. A shopping club is in the works, which will offer monthly giveaways and specials.
With their goal to be a focus point in the gluten-free industry, adhering to their standards stated earlier, and maintaining costs most families can afford, I know this company will be a household name in any GF home. This growing company has that family touch in each of the well though-out and developed mixes. Such variety and taste! You won’t be sorry.
Enjoy Mixes from the Heartland recipes we have shared on the site from my test kitchens.

The below 3 recipes are all from Cheri the January 2010, Runner Up for the GlutenFreeHelp.info contest- making a delicious and nutritious gluten-free dinner. Using Pamela’s gf baking mix too!
January 2010 - runner up recipe
NOTE from Tina: you may substitute chicken for the pork in this recipe.
Pork Picatta
1/4 cup Pamela’s gluten free baking mix
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 lbs pork tenderloin sliced 1/4″ thick medallions
2 Tbs olive oil

1 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
3 Tbs fresh lemon juice

reduced slightly, an additional 3-4 minutes. Return the medallions to the
skillet along with the remaining tablespoon of oil and heat until the
sauce thickens and the meat is cooked to medium donenesst, about 3 minutes.
Serve over the Express “Steamed” Spinach and Garlic Smashed Potatoes, then
top with parsley.
4 Yummy Servings
