9 Tips for a Gluten-Free Kitchen
WHEN AN EXCLUSIVE GLUTEN-FREE KITCHEN ISN'T POSSIBLE
If you're following a gluten-free lifestyle but have to cook in a shared kitchen, cross-contamination can be a concern. However, there are ways to navigate this situation and keep yourself safe and healthy. One tip is to color code your kitchen items, using separate cloths, dishes, and cutting boards for gluten-free cooking. Regularly cleaning and sanitizing your kitchen towels and surfaces is also important to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. Additionally, creating a designated gluten area and using separate utensils and equipment for gluten-free cooking can further prevent accidental exposure. Clearly labeling gluten-free ingredients, storing them on higher shelves, practicing safe cooking techniques, and educating household members about your needs are other efficient strategies. As an additional recommendation, Young Living Vitality™ essential oils can be used to add delicious flavors to gluten-free dishes while enjoying the benefits of high-quality essential oils. With these tips in place, you can have a safe and healthy cooking experience in a shared kitchen.
Welcome, welcome! I'm so glad you stopped by. I'm Jenn - or Jennifer to some, and Jennie to the select few who've known me since my pigtail days back in Upstate New York. My journey from the cold, long winters to the sun-kissed landscapes of North Carolina over twenty years ago was fueled by my love for gardening and savoring nature's warmth as much as I could.
Amongst the twists and turns of 2020, my love for gardening and culinary creativity intertwined more profoundly, offering you a cozy corner to share the joy of crafting gluten-free and dairy-free deliciousness that nourishes and dazzles your taste buds.
In my search for healthy and tasty foods, I’ve explored the age-old arts of canning, dehydrating, infusing, and fermenting. Each technique offers flavors and health benefits, extending the life of our cherished produce and bringing complex flavors to our dishes.
As a self-taught cook, my kitchen adventures have taught me more than a textbook ever could. Here, I’ve learned that the essence of great food doesn’t come from strict adherence to recipes, but from the joy and creativity of cooking. With my camera in one hand and a spatula in the other, I'm on a mission to prove that a dish without gluten or dairy is an invitation to an exciting, flavorful experience.
So, if you're ready for a pinch of adventure and for your tastebuds to do the happy dance, Welcome to my blog!
