Happy New Year's Eve! If this was your first year trying to survive the holidays - Congratulations! - you are at the finish line. Or if you were cooking for someone in your family or friend circle that is newly gluten free, I hope some of the posts have been a help thus far. For me, the holidays were a perfect time to experiment on some new recipes including this one from King Arthur's gluten free and dairy free collection, a repeat visit to a gluten free bakery in San Luis Obsipo, and a bit of my favorite gluten free beverage...wine.
Mmmm...wine. Thank God it's gluten free.
Yes I am breastfeeding. But before you get all judge-y, know that I am using moderation (of course!), my doctor highly recommended a glass or two once a week to ease new mommy jitters ("You looked stressed," were her exact words) and this article from Slate.com calmed any additional fears I had about a little wine while nursing.
But for you non-wine lovers out there be sure to check your holiday beverages before indulging. Beer is famously not gluten free, but some restaurants and bars are offering ciders and gluten free beers. Also check your hard liquor, for example there is controversy around vodka being gluten free or not.
Whatever you choose, whether it is a 2013 Pinot Noir (a personal favorite), a frothy cocktail or a simple sparking water, enjoy it!!!! Goodbye 2015 and hello 2016 - let's make it a great year!!!
Cheers, love and gluten free living,
Francine
