All of you readers (my dear friends) I am so thankful that you stop by and enjoy a nice cup of whatever you drink and relax with me. It's so humbling to see that there are people reading my little old blog! I am so thankful for those that contact me through my blog, those lost in the throws of starting gluten free eating or beginning the adoption journey or starting homeschooling. It's been such a blessing to be able to share with you my readers the trek that I have been making. The homeschooled young man is enjoying a nice following on his blog. He is learning that you must carve out time to work a blog and that content does not always come easily. May you find time to encourage others in the new year!

Looking for some quick and easy New Year's Eve or New Year's Day snacks? Look no further! I have a few simple yet full of flavor gluten free and some are even dairy free & corn free. A quick hint for those that are NOT gluten free, but are cooking for friends or family that ARE gluten free. Wash hands before touching gluten free foods, you might have gluten on your hands. If you use a cookie sheet that has been used for gluten cooking, please use a sheet of foil on the clean cookie sheet. Only use clean bowls, utensils, pots and pans, meaning don't mix up a batch of chip dip and then use the same spoon to whip up a batch of gluten free chip dip. If you make a relish tray (veggie tray) wash your hands and the cutting surface (use a paper plate to cut on) before cutting up veggies. That way if your child made a PB & J for lunch and did not wipe off the counter top, your gluten free pal won't be sick in the New Year! Keep gluten free chips, dips and snacks ...

  Merry Christmas to all!!
