Just a heads up...on
Amazon.com, you can search for "gluten-free cookbooks" and "free," and you can download cookbooks for free! Yup, for the bubble! I recently downloaded a couple, including "Quinoa Salads and Side Deserts" and "My Favorite Gluten Free Cake Recipes."
Well, that's all for now, boys and girls...I'm fried! Some things in the works: an interview with a gluten-free cookbook author, and a giveaway; an interview with an author whose main character has Celiac disease; and I'm working on a list of gluten-free lipstick manufacturers. If you have a request or suggestion for a post, please feel free to email me at celiacgirlri@gmail.com.
