Wichita All About Her Expo

Last weekend I attended the "All About Her Expo" at Century II in downtown Wichita.  As you all probably know by now, if you have Celiac, you are just out of luck when it comes to sampling some of the vendors fine foods that are offered at these types of events.  I would like to thank the wonderful lady who owns the company Brands Fine Foods.  She has wonderful pepper jelly and she sells it at several local stores such as Food for Thought, Green Acres, Kay Wiggins, and Wild at Heart along with others.  She kindly asked if I would like to sample her jelly and I obviously knew I couldn't sample being she was giving samples on non gf crackers.  I told her I am sorry and that I had Celiacs and guess what happened next?  She reached down and grabbed a box of some gf crackers and gave me a sample.  I want to thank her SO much!  I wish more vendors would take this into consideration when at these events.  She just made a new customer out of me :)

October is Gluten Free Awareness Month

Lots of activities going on this weekend in Wichita!  On Saturday, there are two great natural food stores that will be celebrating gluten free awareness month.  At Green Acres, N. Rock Rd, there will be a Gluten Free Fair from 11-3 with support group info, samples, and recipies. They are also featuring Gluten AllergyTesting for only $50 this day.    At Food For Thought (E. Central), there will be a Gluten Free Baking Bonanza, although I am not sure on times with this event for Saturday.  So exccited as I love trying new foods and obtaining new recipie ideas.  See you there!  Maybe for lunch I will stop at Mulligans and get a GF pizza to go :)
