Being diagnosed with a few eating allergies that include GLUTEN, LACTOSE AND EGG. For me it was pretty much EVERYTHING I loved to eat! I had to put my big girl panties on and rewire my mind about everything and rearrange my nutritional routine. The result: I have come up with ways of enjoying a gluten-free life as well as a few indulgent treats that are completely allergy friendly and great not only for an allergy conscious lifestyle, but for all the guests at your table alike!
