PPS: We also have prepaid Holiday Gift Subscriptions available. I may be biased, but I think Love Me Gluten Free makes a fantastic holiday gift! Decoding Sourdough GateThis week, there was much discussion of sourdough bread and whether it's safe for people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance. It stemmed from a bakery in Ohio that advertised its sourdough bread as "gluten-friendly sourdough wheat bread." The Gluten Free Watchdog tested the "gluten-friendly sourdough wheat bread" and found it contained 140k+ ppm of gluten - wow! By comparison, regular wheat flour "only" contains 100k ppm of gluten. The truth is sourdough bread made from wheat flour is NEVER safe for people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance. However, it's a complicated topic because sourdough bread is more digestible, and some people find it easier to digest. These are not people with an issue with gluten. I'll help you understand how sourdough is made and why some people insist it's safe (even though it's not) in THIS ARTICLE. Sourdough You CAN EatThe good news is that there are several ways you can enjoy delicious sourdough bread. (1) You can order some from Bread Srsly. The San Francisco-based bakery makes delicious gluten-free sourdough bread using a gluten-free starter and gluten-free ingredients. Use my code GOODFORYOU10 for 15% off any purchase at Bread Srsly. (affiliate link) (2) You can make your own Sourdough Starter. Here's how I made my gluten-free sourdough starter from brown rice flour and water, and then I used the starter to make a crusty Artisan Gluten-Free Bread recipe. 18+ Festive Holiday AppetizersI created a new Hot Caprese Dip this week, and it's super cheesy and delicious. It has three layers of cheese topped with pesto, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil. Sounds good, right? The dip requires sturdy crackers, and you know I love Crunchmaster crackers. They're certified gluten-free, taste great, and hold up to hearty dips without breaking. Crunchmaster sponsored this recipe, and I appreciate their ongoing support of the Good For You Gluten Free community! This dip is festive with red tomatoes and green basil and pesto. It's perfect for the holidays. I added this recipe to my 18+ list of gluten-free holiday appetizers you can make this holiday season - enjoy!

Hello Reader, I've got a busy weekend ahead of me. We're packing our February Love Me Gluten Free boxes. I created Love Me Gluten Free so that you could sample all the fun goodies I got to sample as a blogger. Brands often send bloggers and influencers products to sample, but sampling those products alone is no fun! Now, through LMGF, I get to sample the products alongside you. It's so much more fun, isn't it?!? If you reserved a February box, it ships on Monday! 🙌 We don't have any February...
