Happy Gluten-Free Friday!!!  I hope everyone has at least one fun thing planned this weekend.

I got a bit adventurous while visiting California last week.  So many of my friends are GF.  I'm not...  I'm more like "gluten-avoidant" - maybe?  And not for any particular reason, I just like other foods better.  Basically, when given the choice between pasta or salmon for dinner - I choose salmon.  Or coleslaw over pasta salad... or ice cream over cookies haha.  Pick your indulgence poison, right?

Anyways, this yummy bread is great with some melted butter or raspberry jam! Even plain is good.

After this week, please enjoy and try to surround yourself with the people you love this weekend.  Be kind to yourself and others, and surround your life with light and love.
