  2. What a sweet post! You have my prayers for healing and a very, very happy Christmas at home with your family!! Time with them should go a long way toward giving your immune system and spirits a much needed boost. I’m using several of your recipes for my own holiday celebration … much appreciation for all you do for the gluten free community.

  6. I’m so happy you are now being treated and I hope the treatment is successful. How lovely to be going home for Christmas – so much better than spending it on your own! But that is quite some drive! Good luck with the winter roads. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and may every blessing of the season be yours xx

  7. How wonderful that you’ll be home with your family for Christmas! I bet your Son and Mom were thrilled to hear the news. It really is good news, too, to learn that there’s a name and treatment for what’s been making you feel unwell. I hope you’ll have even better news in 21 days. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas, April, and every happiness in the New Year. Safe travels.

  9. Can you please help me, I am new to the GF world and I want to make our family cookies for Santa.

    When it calls for Flour do I just sub with almond flour and I am confused about the xantham gum usesage?

    Thanks in advance, Aly

    • Hi Aly! I have found that a good gluten free flour mixture works the best. If by almond flour, you mean pure ground almonds made into flour, then I would do a little experimenting first. I love the all purpose Mama’s almond flour for baking cookies, but it has other flour and starches in it as well. If you live in a city with good grocery stores, you should be able to find a couple of different gluten free flour mixes to try.

      I have found that xanthan gum (kind of acts as a gluten substitute) is needed for most gluten free baking. You can find that in most larger grocery stores as well.

      Hope this was helpful!
