When I first went gluten-free, I didn’t bake. For months. This from someone who loved to bake. Who would volunteer to make dessert for get togethers. First off, I had no clue what to do. If you’re new to the gluten-free and feel the same, you are not the first. We have all been there. [...]

Maggie, She Let Them Eat Cake, is hosting this month’s Go Ahead Honey, It’s Gluten-Free event. I participate in this few and far between since some themes I don’t have time to play with (and wish I did) and some months I miss out on seeing what the theme is completely. When I read this [...]
