Join the Good Food Movement
Welcome to my blog! I want to share my epic journey to discovering healthful and flavourful food while living gluten-free and with severe food allergies. Navigating shopping and cooking has always been a challenge for me. Actually just getting into the grocery stores with fresh fish markets was dangerous. I once left a grocery store by ambulance because the fresh shrimp sent me into an allergic reaction. I want to share my success stories so others can avoid the pitfalls and challenges related to shopping and cooking healthy gluten-free and allergy free meals.
Firstly, you may need to shop at new locations.
Secondly, you need to have a strong support system to understand your lifestyle changes and to be there to listen to your concerns.
Thirdly, you need to deal with any anxiety that develops around food.
Lastly, you need to educate yourself and set up your own coping mechanisms.

Does Freezing Make Ahead Meals Work for You?
The longest some things should remain frozen is 6 months up to 1 year. And here we are talking single items like meat, some fruits, and some vegetables. Let’s face it. How much nutritional value would be left in items that have been frozen for an excessively long time?

Hello Everyone, my name is Kathy. My story is very simple. My family and I have so many allergies (eggs, fish, shellfish, nuts, peanuts, legumes & dairy) and specialty diets (I have Celiac Disease) that I have become a master at shopping and preparing food. I feel more educated about food and ingredients than I do with the university degrees I hold. I cook with wholesome ingredients, gluten-free, nut and peanut free and dairy free for most meals. And my meals are delicious and praised!
How do I do it? Well, I won’t lie, with a lot of help from Epicure.
