Just got back from Austin you guys. Spent 6 days in the Texas heat. I don’t mind the heat, I just don’t like being hot. Soooooo. Anyone who blows their hair out understands this.

Today I’m excited to share with you my favorite gluten-free products! Of all the emails I receive about Celiac Disease and gluten-free living, the most popular question is – WHAT DO YOU EAT? Honestly, I’m just going to come out and say a lot of packaged gluten-free products are crap.
