Traveling, Hotel, and Convention

So two weekends ago I was sharing a room in a hotel with a couple for a convention I was attending with my normal chef kit set up and brought tons of baked goods, full on meals, etc all Paleo and gluten free enough for the 3 of us 3 meals a day for 4 days with snacks (about $150 worth). I set ground rules of no corn, or gluten in the room since I react the worst to them....well it went pretty bad. They could not seem to grasp this concept and kept bringing in and spilling corn based cokes (I pro

Paleo Tots

August Update 2019

So been playing with a few things and testing some waters. Recipe wise I have 3 different chocolate chip cookie recipes I do now for my bakery the last 2 developed these last few weeks, one puffy soft cookie, one flat soft slightly chewy cookie. I was inspired by National Chocolate Chip day earlier in the week. My previous ones had the texture of a crunchy chips ahoy. I been talking with my mom about recreating my grandmas tamales using a recipe I found for corn free low carb ones and usi

July Update 2019

Bit late but dealing with various issues. Medical, oh recall the scope I went to get down and MOSTLY covered by medicare so I only had to pay $50 down and $50 a month for 4 months for the hospital? Well now the GI doc is billing AGAIN for some $10 (random) and then the LAB contacts me saying I need to pay over $2k for pathology reports....what?! I have to ask is there some law where they have to give cost up front for planned procedure that goes fine? Because hitting with bills like this shoul

Mothers Meat Loaf

So in a effort to make meat loafs I have gone through several versions with 3 I still do I use 2 cooking methods depending on time, I can cook normally in the oven in a meat loaf pan (made to drain the grease) Or I can use my instapot version and do it in smaller loafs each a bit over 1lb 2 at a time. First I will start with the one I often fix my parents I based it off my mothers recipe just subbed in almond flour for saltines and plain tomato sauce for ketchup. I will post my other versions la

Kitchen and Life Upgrades

So I got a good deal at a restaurant auction for a prep center brand new at 1/30th retail. Seems the manufacturer of the custom unit forgot something looking at design notes....it was supposed to be modular to fit in a building. Well it is one solid 97"x48" stainless unit welded to a steel frame, which requires removing my door, removing the door frame, and using a engine hoist from the machine shop next door and 4 guys to to get in on its side.

GI Report

So I had my follow up appointment with my new GI to go over my pathology report. There are no signs of celiac or UC, he said there were no medications he needed to prescribe and that my treatment regime was working great. He suggested my random digestive issues could be a new sensitivity or a intolerance or even hormone related like with insulin. He was quite surprised with the UC healing without RX and even had to get my old records from the GI that diagnosed it. >.< I was sort of hopin

June 2019 Update

Well, farmers market sales have been up and down, but I got great news on them redoing the laws here. I can now offer and sell my baked goods online and actually advertise about it, so working on an online site now.  The building I live in might be sold soon, this is sort of a good thing, I will get enough money out of it to build a cheap steel building and frame out the inside, this time making a separate commercial kitchen (commissary). This way I can legally cater, do meal deliveries, an

The Scoop on Oats and Barely

The Scoop in Barley: Barley contains gluten and that is where some of us "get stuck". It is frequently used to make malt. That is why the normal beer is so bad for the celiac patient.  As a general rule you should avoid natural or mal flavorings a food has natural or malt flavorings in the ingredient list, contact the company so see if these flavourings cam from a non-gluten source.  How many times did I buy hot chocolate drinks not reading through the ingredients and finding out they contain ba

So while I need an initial 30k to finance the food truck, then have heavy overhead, a very strict health inspector the has it out for food trucks keeping me from daily vending in town (next town over is nice), seasonal sales, and tons of permits and regulations. I was approached with a different concept by someone.

May Update 2019

Well, may is Celiac Awareness month lol, so I am offering discounts at markets I am setting up at this month. I can say I am needing to adjust pricing some, I am getting $3 on an Omelet on a stick (Turkey Bacon or Sausage in the center with eggs cooked on it served on a stick) I am thinking of upping to $4 each and $5 at events. My Stir Fry is getting great reviews from those who try it, but it is a bad product price wise. I need to get $10-12 each to turn a good profit but am selling for $6-7.

New GI Doc

Well, I saw a new PCP about a month ago, completely useless, and then charged me a ridiculous co-pay I could not even afford (I got out of this on a technicality on their part). Anyway, he just heard my issues and got me an appointment with a GI doc. I saw the GI doc yesterday told him of my issues and the random daily cowpie like BMs on and off I have been having since a gluten exposure in August.  He got me arranged for dual scope next week. The best thing is I only have to pay a $60 co-pay. F

Frankenstein the brownie recipe

To Frankenstein, a dish in the name of experimenting is quite common with food. I recently did something with funny results and lessons learned I think some might find amusing. So my concept was to make a gluten-free soft moist brownie and sugar-free. I have done this with thick nut butter like sunbutter before, and iffy results with thinner ones. But I wanted something moister, so I had some avocados >.>. Yeah this is where the Frankenstein reference comes from. But bit of a heads up
