2. I will be doing a blog on living a gluten free life. I will
be baking recipes I find through various means such
as online gluten free cookbooks, print gluten free
cookbooks and then giving a critique of each recipe
and then if I adjust them and find improvements to
each recipe I will share my experience and will be
uploading pictures and step by step directions of
recipes I have made adjustments to.
