Gluten Free Bloggers Rock My World

The Gluten Free products in Chicago were awesome but it was the people that rocked my world!  I was humbled to meet so many of my blog readers and hear their stories.  I am so honored that people read this blog and are able to eat these recipes!  One reader said she uses my freezer meals with her disabled clients so they can have a way to cook for themselves!  Wow!

This was the super, fantastic, amazing group of Gluten Free bloggers I spent the weekend with.

There are so many amazing “friends” that I have made through social media but the trip to Chicago allowed me to make them actual real life friends!  This group of woman will be a part of my life for a long time.

Here are details about many of the awesome people I have the pleasure of now calling friends.  I have linked to their blogs and listed their twitter names.  Follow them – they rock!

My table buddy at the show was Erica from Celiac and the Beast.  She has awesome t-shirts and sweatshirts for sale!  The cupcake design is my favorite. @CeliacBeast
