Gluten free cookies have come a long way in the past six or so years. This is both good and bad. Good for my taste buds but bad for my waistline. I feel like I’ve been inhaling cookies for the past few months. When I was first diagnosed pickings were slim. And it seemed every cookie was “thin and crispy” which have never been my favorites. But lately we’ve gottne so many more options. Even Read more…
March 27th, 2021 is a date I won’t soon forget. My alarm went off at 4:30 am and I got dressed, ate a honey stinger waffle, and headed out the door at 5 am to start round one of the Yeti Challenge.

We happened to be having carne asada tacos for dinner that night so the Read more…
