Websites and Food Blogs Galore

I am amazed at how many websites and blogs there are that deal with food, food preparation, allergies and especially gluten free cooking.

 I think gluten-free has taken on a whole life of its own and from what I have read, is now a million dollar industry. As I read the “ Wheat Belly” by Dr. William Davis I am becoming aware that we have done this to ourselves. Changing the structure of our wheat over 50 years ago so that it would bring in a higher yield, be resistant to bugs and feed the world we have created a wheat that humans can no longer digest. Hence, Celiac disease, gluten intolerance, IBS, and a multitude of other intestinal disorders.

Many of us are aware of the havoc that gluten wreaks on our systems as we get the full body symptoms after we digest wheat, but many others have no symptoms and are unaware of this silent and potentially deadly food we are consuming.

Cutting wheat out of your diet can seem overwhelming, but with so many websites and dedicated bloggers you will be amazed at how easy it can be.

Here are some of my favourite website/blog sites, check them out for lots of great info and tasty gluten free recipes.

Delicious Food

Once again we made the trip over to Gatineau for a delicious lunch at La Belle Verte, a raw vegan restaurant. It is right in the middle of Gatineau on Eddy st
We hadn't been in awhile so it was a nice treat.
Even though I wanted to start with dessert I didn't
I ordered the raw quiche and my hubby started off with the hot soup ( yes I know not raw) I think they have adapted their menu a bit so to entice others to try raw. Then he had the pizza. Once again we were delighted with the service, the freshness of the food and the taste. I ordered a raw pizza to take home and I had it today for my lunch.
It was delish. I am not sure what the topping is, something with cashews and the inside is olive tepenade avocado and sun dried tomato and spinach. All on top of this great tasting flax cracker crust. It melts in your mouth.

Then the ultimate chocolate died and gone to heaven tart. Yum, yum, double yum!

If you are in the area try it. You might even bump into a friend, we did. such a small world.. Love it.
