girls gone gluten-free

The holidays are not magical for everyone. I know it’s not what you’re supposed to say or admit but it’s the truth. There’s grief, unmet expectations, different beliefs, distance, and any number of other things that can impact in a less so snow-globe Hallmark wonder kind of way.

The thing is that’s okay. You’re not doing it wrong if you don’t have tinsel from your eyes to your toes. I bought one gift this year – for a white elephant exchange at work. It’s okay if you purchased 0. There’s no need to make yourself feel uncomfortable or unhappy or overwhelmed by time or financial circumstances to buy something. If you’re not religious or part of Christmas culture your holidays may also look different and may very well be filled with peace and ease. Cheers.

How does this go gluten-free?

Well, if there’s something you’ve loved from years past or crave at holiday make it for you and enjoy. Simply no other reason than your enjoyment. If you’re single freeze a few portions and enjoy layer too. Drop the guilt with the gluten and celebrate because you woke up today and you’re worthy of a grand day.
