Gluten free menu plan: January 26-February 1, 2014

I’m busier than ever baking, editing my second cookbook, and expanding my blog and bakery. I’m making making major moves and trying to keep as healthy as humanly possible so my fragile body can (almost) keep up. Cooking whole, real, and clean food from scratch is one of the many ways I live healthy.| as challenging as it seems sometimes. Good things in equals good things out. Every little bit helps. With careful planning, patience, and persistence all of us can maintain a healthy diet without sacrificing taste. Get into the scones, winter soups, sweet potatoes and tofu featured in this week’s menu.

Live well. Eat Well. Be Well
