Celebrating Celiac Disease Awareness Month with Fictional Characters

May is Celiac Disease Awareness month. I have written a couple of blog posts to do with celiac disease or eating gluten-free before.

Today, I wanted to cook something up for some of my characters. What would their favourite gluten-free meals or treats be? So let’s dive in!

Caleb

Caleb from Toxo, Medical Kidnap Files #4 is one of my few characters who actually has Celiac Disease. While he doesn’t always eat what he is supposed to, choosing not to eat gluten-free can make him very sick. One of Caleb’s favourite foods is pizza!

Zachary Goldman

Zachary from the Zachary Goldman Mysteries series definitely does not eat gluten-free. One of his favourite foods is garlic toast. He also eats lots of pizza, pasta, and Thai noodles.

But he and Kenzie (Kenzie Kirsch Medical Thrillers) do enjoy eating ice cream together, and many varieties of ice cream are gluten-free.

How about some homemade ice cream? Click below for the recipe. Just be sure that any add-ins are gluten-free too.

Peter Foster

Peter Foster is not one of the main characters in the Auntie Clem’s Bakery series, but he is a recurring character and one of Erin Price’s favourite customers. Peter Foster loves the fact that he can get anything on offer at Auntie Clem’s Bakery because it is all gluten-free.

He and his sisters love being part of the Kid’s Cookie Club at Auntie Clem’s and trying out new varieties of cookies as Erin experiments with new recipes.

Chocolate chip cookies are always a people-pleaser. Give them a try!

Vanna Austin

Let’s round out the numbers with Vanna Austin of Pursued by the Past. Is there any chance that her spaghetti and meatballs could be made gluten-free?

Of course!

Most of the recipes that I found used commercial breadcrumbs and noodles, but I tracked these homemade versions down for you.
