Hello Reader, I have so much to share this week, I don’t even know where to begin… so make sure you scroll this whole email. There’s a lot you won’t want to miss.

Every item inside was chosen to feel like a celebration, because we’re officially turning two this month. 🎉 What started in my basement with 150 boxes has grown into something that’s become...

Hello Reader, Next month, Love Me Gluten Free turns two. And we’ve come a long way since those humble beginnings in my basement, where friends and family helped me pack our very first boxes. Remember my first box ever? It was themed "Love From Colorado" and featured brands from my home state. This business hasn’t been easy, but it has been incredibly rewarding. I’m grateful to every single one of you who has supported this journey, whether you’ve purchased a box, followed along through these...

Hello Reader, It's the first day of spring, and I've got a new Nima test, fun recipes, new product finds (and discounts), and more. Let's get to it! Testing Drumroll Donuts 🍩 I think I’m losing my mind. I saw a celiac creator post about Drumroll donuts, saying they contain oats, but when I checked the ingredient list. There are no oats. Regardless, I thought, let's go ahead and test them with my Nima, just to put everyone's mind at ease. As you know, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship...

Hello Reader, Many of you have told me how much my weekly newsletter means to you, and truly, that feedback never gets old. That said… a few of you have gently (and not-so-gently 😉) mentioned that my Friday emails can be a bit long. Fair. I do tend to have a lot to say. This week, I’m trying two shorter newsletters you can quickly scan and enjoy. Let’s see how it goes. Feedback is always welcome! Exciting Changes at LMGF As many of you know, I also founded Love Me Gluten Free, a subscription...

Hello Reader, Last week, I responded to a Miss Manners column that honestly… lacked manners. She answered a question about hosting gluten-free guests in a way that felt dismissive of the celiac and food allergy community. The situation was nuanced. It deserved more care. So I wrote my own response. (You can read it HERE.) Several of you reached out to thank me, and then one reader sent me her own sticky gluten-free etiquette question. That’s when it hit me: We need our own advice column. So...

Hello Reader, Welcome to the Friday Good For You Gluten Free newsletter, and thank you for being "here." I love sharing news, important information, exciting products, and exclusive discounts with you. In fact, I live for this! 😉 YumEarth Gets Slammed for Misleading Claims This week, YumEarth has experienced the wrath of the gluten-free and allergy communities, and rightfully so. The candy brand has long advertised itself as “top 9 allergen-free,” which one should be able to safely infer...
