Hi, I'm Dr. Jean Layton. In diverse jobs from chef to doctor, I've used my analytical skills to address the ongoing goal, "There has to be a better way." When not seeing patients, I'm in the social media world, teaching people to thrive gluten-free.
If you are like me, this is the crunch week of holiday time planning and fun. We have 3 December birthdays in our nuclear family of 4, and 3 others in the extended one. Lots of shopping, wrapping and mailing have happened this week. Oh, and for two of them, it’s the Golden Birthday, which [...]

Banana Bread- Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free
When you have those lonely brown spotted Appaloosa bananas on the counter, do you feel a pang? My frugal soul cringes just a bit when I have a few bananas that look like these. I know I could mix up a batch of pancakes, or muffins. But my long time goal has been a crisp [...]
Creamy Gluten-Free Vegan Pumpkin Soup with Smoky Maple Pepita Brittle
Burnished leaves of yellow, red and orange contrasting with the pine trees. Pumpkin fields scattered with orange orbs and children running from one to the next with squeals of joy. Scattered orange flags dropping from cedar trees soften the pathways through the woods on a walk with my dogs. Orange is the color of fall. [...]
Arsenic and Old Rice
That was a cheesy way to lead off this discussion, but I just love the reference to Arsenic and Old Lace. It is what we are really worried about, right? Getting sick from eating a food that contains a poison, like the victims of those creepy old ladies. Why is there arsenic in rice anyway? [...]
Working Lunch
Working lunch- romaine with zucchini,sheep feta, cherry tomatoes and potato salad, a photo by GFDoctor on Flickr. As I furiously finish the last edits to CleanThrive, my time available for cooking and posting is very small. Making one round of cooking prepare for several meals makes it likely that I’ll keep eating well. This plate [...]
Gluten-Free Strawberry Cream Puff Pie
Sometimes, you just need pie. And when a group of food bloggers simultaneously come to that conclusion, Pie Party is the result. Last year it was a spontaneously organized Twitter party that morphed into 1500+ people on Facebook all talking about pie. This year, the tradition continues with Garrett McCord, Shauna Ahern, Ashley Baron Rodriquez [...]

Success and challenges
I live in the Pacific Northwest, an area known for it’s rain. Cloudy, drizzly, dripping rain. The kind of place where toadstools sprout, moss grows lush and the forests grow thick. Look at what happens to a peppermint stick left to solidify in a marshmallow, overnight. This is not a conducive place to make [...]

When a person leaves,
there is sadness. And for some people, highjinks and silliness. My dear friend Sandy is off to sunny California next week. So, of course, there had to be a party. Well actually, 3 parties. But this one was for the families to gather too, not just the Girl Scout Moms, not just the Ladies, [...]
