Today is National Celiac Awareness Day.  According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, more than 2 million (or 1 in 133) people in the United States have celiac disease. Also known as celiac sprue, celiac disease is characterized by an abnormal immune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and, to a lesser extent, oats.

While there is no cure for celiac disease, those who have been diagnosed can live normal, healthy lives if they follow a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. There are many foods that are naturally gluten free, but increased awareness of the disease has also led to the development of many prepared gluten-free food products.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with celiac disease or simply prefer to eat gluten-free foods, this recipe for Gluten-Free Swiss Chard Sushi is a great main dish that’s also vegetarian friendly, and absolutely delicious!

Originally, I planned to cook the Swiss chard with some smoke-roasted tomatoes, and to add the radishes to my coleslaw recipe. When it was time to prepare the greens, I decided to add a few cups of leftover coleslaw vegetables (without dressing) to the pot, too. It turned out great!  Read more →
