This is a post about wonderful Gluten Free Food. This is a post about what I love most about people:
- Honesty
- Integrity
- Coming from your heart
- Being who you are regardless of what others might say or think
- Steadfastness - loyalty to your lifestyle, to your family and friends, in other words not "buckling" to what the "status quo" might be at any given time
And most importantly:Â Connecting with people, through knowledge, awareness, education, sharing, and inspiring people in all walks of life.
In the past year I have had the privilege of a most delightful connection with such a person:
Shirley, from Gluten Free Easily. Reading Shirley's blog is such an inspiration.
She seems to thrive in connecting with people, sharing knowledge, information, life experiences - I love that she so easily puts this forward to the world. Thank you Shirley.... for touching my world.
Here are a few examples of what Shirley does for our Gluten Free World:
Her amazing monthly Gluten Free Support Group that she also shares through her blog. Information, education, about Gluten Free cooking, great Gluten Free Resources, Cook books, personal experiences etc. I love it! I love how she gathers people together each month and shares...Shirley, can I come live with you?
Then, there are her recipes. Here are just a couple of Shirley's wonderful easy Gluten Free Recipes: (there are many recipes on her blog - so worth checking out!)
Amazing muffins - these are so on my to-do list ...Mama! They sound fabulous. We hope to get our new stove/oven in the next couple of days...yeahhh!
Then, Pomegranate Sherbert - this did not last two seconds in my household. I had to make a second batch the next day!
How about: Pork Tenderloin With Maple Glaze? I so gotta try this one on a busy day... Yummm!
So, in a few words I want to say "Thank you Shirley, for all that you do, for all that you share in our "Gluten Free World". You help make our "Gluten Free World", a truly better one to be in. 🙂
Shirley seems so lovely doesn't she? This is a lovely post - you are such a sweetie!
Thanks Janet...sending much love to you too! 🙂
Ina, I just got home from carpooling with some of my support group members to a GIG meeting 90 minutes away. What a total delight to come home to this post!
