Now, I tried to deny this need to avoid gluten and had some unhappy consequences. Fortunately, I have a wonderful support system and on my birthday, I came home to a freshly baked cake (thanks, Brian). I was so so happy to be able to eat boxed cake on my birthday. So my birthday weekend started my journey to not only live gluten free, but healthy as well.
As I was posting on the lovely Facebook about my new life style, my first year teaching mentor, Lisa, posted to me that she too was living gluten free. Little does she know (until she reads this) how relieved I was that someone I knew understood my situation. Since then we've swapped ideas, discoveries, and then she said to me one day (via Facebook) about how fun it would be to start a blog about living GF in the Lehigh Valley. I thought it was a great idea. After an overly irritating trip to Wegman's yesterday, I was inspired. And here we are.
My hope and goal for this blog is to share what two people are learning, eating, and discovering in this progressive world of Gluten Free. I hope that you, reader, find some help, inspiration, or even make a GF friend. Thanks for reading!
