Today I was texting an old pal of mine asking how summer was going and how he was doing. Our conversation was sweet and innocent until we got into talking about the Charleston shooting. He told me that what had happened was sad, and I agreed, but I also said that that is a part of life. People live and people die.

Growing up I always had an issue with wheat. Over the past 30 years, I’ve been tested numerous times for Coeliac (Celiac) Disease – all of my results were always inconclusive. There was never an explanation of my symptoms, which included lethargy, bloating, excess gas, stomach pains, constant nausea, and weight gain. In my late 20’s, “food sensitivity” started to get ...

If you are like me (someone who loves food, especially snacks) you probably have a lot of mess going on in your pantry. Mine has always looked like a tornado ran through it. It’s just pure unorganized chaos in there every time the door is opened. My husband and I have always tried to keep it neat.
