Hello Al!!!

I am a recent lurker and just had to join. After seeing "challah" posts!

I grew up in NY with real bagels and pizza and a whole slew of other "melting
pot" goodies
that I will never savor again! I miss matzah balls, knishes, rugelach, as well
as real pizza,
bagels, Italian bread, ravioli, knaidelach, pierogi...noodle kugel and so much
more not to
mention whole grain bread!!!

Thank G-d for kasha...I adored it in childhood, and would feel totally robbed if
I could not
eat it several times a week.

I am a Celiac Mama of 3 kids (all with varying special needs) my youngest is a
Celiac, my
oldest has multiple food intolerances, my middle has intermittent stomach aches
(no Dx
yet). My DH has no food problems at all. Cooking for this family is a daily
challenge to say
the least...often preparing 3 different meals a few times a day.

I look forward to learning some GF alternative recipes here that I grew up with,
that are
yummy enough for all of ss to enjoy!

Blessings and good health to you all!
