Hello Reader, This week definitely reminded me that running a small business is an emotional roller coaster. We had a customer service situation that required a lot of care. As always, my team and I did everything we could to make it right. And honestly? Ninety-nine percent of people were incredibly kind, understanding, and gracious. It's that other 1% that somehow manages to live rent-free in my head. Thankfully, this community reminds me every day why I love what I do. For every difficult...

Hello Reader, I'm headed to New York City for one of the biggest specialty food trade shows in the country, and I can't wait to discover new gluten-free products (and hopefully a few hidden gems!) to share with you in the coming months.

Speaking of Love Me Gluten Free... our July "A Taste of Summer" box ships early next week! ☀️📦 I just checked, and we have fewer than 100 boxes...

Hello Reader, I hope you're excited to "officially" kick off summer this weekend. ☀️ 👙 🍉 I recently returned from a family trip to California feeling energized, inspired, and excited about what's ahead.

Hello Reader, I had the best time hanging out with you on Tuesday at our Facebook Live. Thank you for joining me! In case you missed it, you can watch the replay here.

We've visited Yosemite National Park and Sequoia National Park, and today we're driving down to Los Angeles to spend the weekend with our son, who is living there this summer for an internship. Standing in front of the largest sequoia tree of them all - General...

They ship June 2–3. The June box features: 5 brands...

Hello Reader, Memorial Day weekend is here (in the US), which means summer is unofficially kicking off. ☀️ More travel. More BBQs. More road trips. More “let’s just grab something quick” moments. And while summer is supposed to feel fun and carefree, I also know this season can throw a lot of curveballs at those of us living gluten-free. Routines go out the window. You're eating out more. People hand you mystery burgers without buns and say, “I think it’s gluten-free?” So here are a few...

Hello Reader, Fourteen years into living with celiac disease, and somehow, this never gets easier. I’m writing you from a business conference. When I registered, they asked about food allergies, and I clearly marked mine on the form, thinking that would be enough. But once I got here? There really wasn’t food for me. I’ve been in this situation enough times to know what to do. I opened the Find Me Gluten Free app, found a nearby spot with GF options, and left the conference to get myself...
