Food Review: Evol's GF firegrilled steak bowls.

Evol is best known for their amazing burritos, but, they have started offering frozen meals.

Last night, I tried their Fire-grilled Steak bowl. This bowl consisted of steak, cilantro lime rice, beans, and cheddar cheese. There are two ways to prepare it: In the microwave, and in the oven. It takes 4 minutes to warm in the microwave. It takes 50 minutes in the oven. I was starving, so I warmed it in the microwave. As it was warming up, the smell of cilantro and lime filled the kitchen.

When it was done, I sat down to eat. The meal was flavorful and tasty. With the combination of black beans and steak, I had a generous amount of protein. To be honest with you, it was the best frozen dinner I ever had. Normally, frozen dinners can be quite bland, especially GF frozen dinners. Evol does a really good job with keeping the frozen meals flavorful.

Fellow Celiacs, and those whom are gluten intolerant, I highly recommend Evol's Fire-grilled Steak bowl for a quick dinner.

If you're having one of those nights where you're too tired to conjure up a home cooked meal, and you're looking for something quick to make? Evol's GF frozen dinners are a good pick. You can find this meal in the natural food section of your supermarket, in the freezers.

Coming soon, I will be reviewing their Chicken Quesadillas (actually, it's going to be my lunch). I may have that review up later on today, or early tomorrow morning.

Celebrities who have Celiac Disease

Getting diagnosed with Celiac Disease can be pretty tough (believe me, I remember how hard it was for me). You may be the first among your family and/or friends that has been diagnosed as Celiac. It can be lonely (even though my grandmother had it, and I was partially raised by her, she had been gone for a few years when I was diagnosed. I had no one). What gave me some comfort was that I was not alone. Some of the celebrities I look up to were also Celiac Disease sufferers. People like Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Emmy Rossum had been living with the disease for years before I was diagnosed. I researched both and learned a lot from them. Also, learning that my first celeb crush has 2 Celiacs in his family really helped me feel less alone. Here is a list of celebs who have diagnosed Celiac Disease: Elizabeth Hasselbeck (public figure) Emmy Rossum (actress) Wil Wheaton's mom and sister Meg Cabot (author) Sarah Joy Brown (actress) Joe C (rapper who frequently performed with

South Park's Gluten-Free Ebola Episode

photo credit: southparkdigital Greetings Celiac Warriors! Recently, South Park did a gluten free episode that got a lot of attention in the gluten free and Celiac communities. For the most part, the reaction has been positive. Many folks, including myself, found it hilarious. You may be wondering what the episode was about. I'm going to give you the cliff notes version: The episode starts off with the kids returning to school after their start up company fails. Then the show cuts to the teachers lounge where the teachers are discussing Mr. Mackey who has gone gluten free. Mr. Mackey comes back and starts blaming all the world's problems on gluten. A co-worker becomes annoyed by all the gluten free talk and starts screaming at Mr. Mackey to shut up. Mackey states that behavior problems are due to gluten consumption. A female teacher expresses interest in going gluten free. Later on, the boys are on the radio promoting an "epic" party. Callers ask the boys i

Celiac Women At a Decreased Risk for Hormone-Related Cancers.

When it comes to Celiac Disease, there really are not many benefits to the disease. However, research has shown that women, who have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are at a lower risk for hormone-related cancers, which include Endometrial, Breast, and Ovarian Cancers. Women with Celiac Disease are 15% less likely to develop Breast Cancer, 40% less likely to develop Endometrial Cancer, and 11% less like to develop Ovarian Cancer. Researchers believe that this is due to a decreased level of female hormones that promote reproductive Cancers.
