Is it me or is GF suddenly EVERYWHERE?
No I am not talking 'Girlfriend', I’m talking Gluten-Free (though it too may end up being your BFF!). Increasingly my readers are requesting gluten-free options. As it turns out, most of Veggie Dreamgirl recipes are indeed gluten-free so I’ve separated out my gluten-free collection which is now accessible simply by clicking, what else, the Gluten-Free tab above.
Gluten-free isn't as scary as it sounds, but this fact is: According to Dr. Mark Hyman, 99 percent of people who have a problem digesting gluten don’t even know it! I recommend you read Dr. Hyman's article and follow him on Twitter. It could save your life.
But you don't have to have a wheat allergy or be a Celiac to want to make the jump to a gluten-free diet. Wheat is the number one culprit of most diseases including diabetes.
So whether you decide to go the full monty or just dabble, I always say it's nice to have options. Look for even more GF dishes as well as my upcoming "Everything but the Turkey" Thanksgiving Dinner Menu coming out soon!

Raw Kale Salad with Balsamic Glaze

You're right. Gluten-free is everywhere! They recently opened a Gluten-free grocery store, ALL gluten-free foods, in Burbank. I'm not on a gluten-free diet but a good friend of mine is, so we went to check it out. I was very impressed by how well stocked they were for a brand new grocery/specialty store. I was all over the gluten-free sweets. I left with amazing Tahitian Vanilla ice cream and incredible Cinnamon popcorn. Impressive choices but an expensive way to shop (at least at that particular store).

Fajicos don't look particularly gluten free to me...
