I don’t know about you, but I love pie; the end of the year is my favorite time of year! After the summer and fall harvests, we have berries, peaches, apples, pumpkins, and the list goes on. I get such joy baking for friends and family. That’s what makes these gluten-free recipes so fantastic! They don’t taste gluten-free; your friends and family will love them as much as you and I do! Food is something that brings us together and unites us. There is nothing more uncomfortable than attending a party that you can’t eat anything other than a salad without dressing. This cookbook is here to rescue you from only eating the steamed veggies and rubber chicken or gross pre-packaged gluten-free foods in the "special meal"! My family meals are no longer like this. I make those family favorites that are usually untouchable and now most of my family don’t know the difference. The few that do, know because I told them and love my gluten-free versions still! Now as my intention is food for all, I do understand that we all have vegan and vegetarian family members too and I have provided notes for the modifications that can be made to accommodate their needs too! Allergies are no fun for anyone. It can strain social activities with friend and make holidays feel like a strain to those with the allergies and those preparing the food. My sincere goal is to bring back our family favorites for all to enjoy together again so that we can focus on our friends and family and not whether we will need our epi-pens and a trip to the hospital! After all, the best part about food is sharing it with each other!
