Don’t worry, I’m not going to go all gluten-free on you. There are much more capable and talented gluten-free bloggers for you to follow, if you’re so inclined. Ditch the Wheat is one of these bloggers, but I’ll get to her in a minute. As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, I’m not into grains. … Continue reading
It’s scary to say this, but Christmas is right around the corner. Yikes. I was at Galen’s this weekend and all the Halloween candy is out and wow, you know what’s next. Seriously?
