Gluten Free

I'll add more to this post later or do what another blogger I know does and do a part II, but I'm checking out glutenfreefrenzy.com right now and they have this supercool contest for Mixes from Heartland (available at www.mixesfromheartland.com). It's supercool because, personally, as a newbie to the gluten-free world, I find that my mom and I have to do a lot more baking and other home-cooking and it's so hard to find mixes that don't cost an arm and a leg. But my wheat allergy has been a small blessing in disguise: I am actually starting to lose weight on the gluten-free diet!
