When I was first trying to go gluten free, one of my biggest cheats was with gyro sandwiches. I love, love, LOVE them. Then I started to get more serious about eliminating gluten, so I would just eat the meat, but most places use gluten as a binder, much like how cold cuts and hot … Continue reading »
Recipe: Shredded Sweet Potatoes
This is another Mark Bittman find. I sincerely love his book. If you buy only one cookbook, get one of his. He gives you a basic recipe and then he tells you the multitude of ways you can change it. For example, with this dish, you can use any other root veggie similar to sweet … Continue reading »

When I went gluten free, though, one of my favorite foods was suddenly off limits, because most commercially prepared gyro meat uses wheat as a binder. It’s kind of like lamb meatloaf that’s slow roasted. I was … Continue reading »
