NEW blog Real Life Nutrition: A Fresh Take on "Good for You"
Chef Domenica Catelli's - Easy. Tasty. Healthy.
Everyday Fitness with Pamela Peeke, MD MPH FACP
I started getting really concerned because I noticed he was having alot of tummy aches, asked his mom when we did the weekend swap, and she said he needs a gluten free diet cause he has celiacs disease.
Poor kid loves pop tarts, but he has to poop about twenty minutes after eating them, and I had to convince his dad, that its not just a tummy ache, its permanent damage to his intestines being caused by the gluten, so we really need to avoid it when he is staying with us!
He is almost 12 years old, so he knows he is not supposed to eat that stuff, he maybe even should have spoke up about it, but he was shy and didnt wanna confide in me about it, which is fine, I can understand that, he is getting more comfortable around me which is nice

I am going grocery shopping this weekend, and we will have him this weekend, so I need ideas of what to buy, I am really new to this (mom thing- no kids of my own, now I have a 12 year old), I have been searching this site for recipes, and nothing sounds like something he would like to eat, he is kind of a picky eater, what kid isnt a picky eater?
We are going camping, and I hate for him to have to run to go have diarrhea camping, there is no bathroom in the woods! Course he thinks its funny, but Id rather not have him sick.
I have an apple tree in the back yard that is riping up, I figure we can bring some apples, and yogurt cups, and I always have bought him granola bars but he never eats them, maybe I should tell him he HAS to eat granola instead of pop tarts, not give him a choice... stop buying pop tarts so he is not tempted...
I read that alot of sauces and stuff have hidden gluten, and anything with malt contains gluten, we find things at the store that sound gluten-free except for a malt ingredient, is it true?
I dont wanna be a controlling step mother, but I do want the child to feel healthy, he is such a skinny little thing, I worry about him.View Thread

Do you have a favorite pie or light dessert with apples you can share?
I love baked apples.
4 large good baking apples, such as Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious, or Jonagold
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup currants or chopped raisins
1 Tbsp butter
3/4 cup boiling water
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Wash apples. Remove cores to 1/2 inch of the bottom of the apples. It helps if you have an apple corer
2. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, currants/raisins, and pecans. Place apples in a 8-inch-by-8-inch square baking pan. Stuff each apple with this mixture. Top with a dot of butter (1/4 of the Tbps).
3. Add boiling water to the baking pan. Bake 30-40 minutes, until tender, but not mushy. Remove from the oven and baste the apples several times with the pan juices.
*Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or better yet, frozen low fat yogurt on the side.View Thread

Why do certain Baby foods have as much as 17mg of sugar in a small one saving bottle ...and yet there is at least one company ,which chooses to use a meat product ,,but only 1% of fat ..compared to other companies, Using multi vegetables.....and up to 17 mg's os Sugar?
Has anyone done a study on early foods can lead to diseases or obesity later in life?View Thread

She really did influence my love of cooking.
Who influenced your cooking style? Does anyone inspire you to cook?
She was quite a pioneer.

For the past 15 years I have been using 2% and 1% regular milk. Based on an advice from a friend, I started organic milk this morning and started to get watery bowel movements and urge to go frequently. Any ideas, help.

Do you tend to buy way more than you need when you go?
I once tried, mistakenly, to buy one tomato, and the lady at checkout said to me, "oh honey you need to buy the whole box, this is CostCo". Ooops.

I also like to just make things up as I go. Any tips of the best way to record what I am doing so I remember it the next time?
Am I the only one?

Who's got one to share?
Oh I do!
I make a quick and easy Stromboli.
Take a roll out dough, like crescent rolls, and flour work space.
Roll out dough til it gets to be about 12"x9".
Layer with provolone cheese sliced, sliced deli ham, then sliced salami, next pepperoni. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese then lastly some grated parmesan cheese.
Fold one end and then the other, meet in the middle. Then fold one side over the other. Brush with beaten egg.
Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes, until melted and browned.
Slice and eat!
