I ate at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers today on Woodruff Rd. Go online and download their GF menu items. The server… Continue

It's Halloween, and I am so grateful that my favorite candy, Dove chocolates in milk and dark are both GF! Life is challenging, but as long as I have coffee and chocolate, I'm okay with it.

That is a long walk! 3.2 miles, but we did it, even if I was trailing behind everyone else in the city! I want to make it clear that I search out and receive GF recipes from… Continue
