The Airstream is Ready!
A few changes are coming to The Grateful Kitchen. First off, we have completed work on our commercial kitchen. Yeah! The airstream trailer has been converted and is being approved by the state as we speak. We are so excited!
Secondly, the structure of The Grateful Kitchen has changed. Instead of coming to your house to cook, I will have a weekly menu that you can order off of online and have delivered to your home or office. Isn't that cool? All food preparation and baking for the week will be done on Sunday with a Monday delivery date. All products are guaranteed to have a shelf life of 4 days from the time they are delivered when properly stored. Menu items will change every week, the baked goods menu will remain the same.
Most of the items will be gluten-free, dairy-free, but some menu items will focus more on low-carb and low-fat diets to include others who are also trying to get healthier.
As always here at The Grateful Kitchen, no additives, no preservatives, no JUNK! Just good food, pure and simple. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Brrr!
It's been a chilly and wintery few days here in Northwest Arkansas! Hopefully all of you have power and warmth. Here at The Grateful Kitchen, it is business as usual. Experiments this week while holed up in the kitchen have included a red velvet cake made with sorghum flour and a rocking Mac-n-"Cheese". I am thinking of revamping the menu to include some items that contain dairy products for those celiacs who can tolerate them and am asking you all for feedback. Thoughts? Suggestions? Let me know! Until next time, STAY WARM!

A Welcome to Celiacs!
Hi, everyone!
Welcome to The Grateful Kitchen! Please have a look around because there is nothing here that you can't eat! All of our food is both gluten-free and dairy-free. Please make some suggestions for links to sites about celiac disease.
I was grateful to attend a celiac support group last Saturday. It's a different type of community than autism circles. In the autism realm, this diet is considered "controversial" and unfounded by many so-called professionals. In the celiac community, this way of eating is a way of life.
So a big shout-out to all the celiacs out there! Hopefully we'll get to know each other better.

A Word About Sugar
Last night I met with some terrific people up in Bella Vista at an Autism support group and the question most often raised was the matter of sugar content. While The Grateful Kitchen does use brown sugar in its baked goods, there are a few items that can use agave syrup instead. What is agave?
Organic raw agave nectar is a vegan sweetener made from the agave cactus with a subtle, non-aggressive sweetness and a low glycemic impact on blood sugar levels (it is approved for use in the South Beach Diet later phases, and for those who need to monitor their blood sugar levels as diabetics- as always consult your physician before trying anything new). It works beautifully in baking. Use 1/3 to 1/2 cup of agave syrup for every 1 cup of sugar in the original recipe and lessen the liquid called for by 3 tablespoons. Agave is humectant and adds moisture and binding to gluten-free recipes. Raw agave contains iron, calcium, potassium & magnesium.
As always here at The Grateful Kitchen, NO preservatives, additives, dyes, or chemicals. Agave nectar is great stuff and I hope offering products that use it will accommodate those families who can't take the sugary stuff. Try it today!

Welcome to Better Eating!
Greetings! A little background, first.
My name is Jen Mattson and I am the personal chef behind The Grateful Kitchen.
The Grateful Kitchen was established in 2008 with the simple mission to create and cook for those following a gluten-free, casein-free diet.
In 2007, our daughter was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. After being told that there was "nothing we could do" by the neurologist, my husband and I turned to online parent groups for ideas. We learned that many children on the autism spectrum respond to a gluten-free, dairy-free diet. We felt like we had nothing to lose, so we gave it a shot.
It was a daunting challenge, to say the least. Here I was cooking for weddings with 350 guests, yet I was challenged to cook for my own daughter. There was so much confusion-how to work with the flours, what dishes could be translated into GFCF meals, and so on. But as a chef, I had no excuse. I got to work.
Two years later, she is a healthy and happy five year old, doing well and loving life. I guard her diet the way I guard her. I am convinced that food has the power to heal. For that, I am grateful.
