For as long as I can remember, my family has always gone to a movie on Christmas Eve. We would then come back home and enjoy a warm beverage and open one or two gifts. Around 11pm or so, Santa would start urging my sister and I to go to bed so she could too. On Christmas morning, my family sits around the tree to open presents. We enjoy mom's wonderful Yum Yum Coffee Cake and fresh brewed coffee. We joke, laugh, sometimes tear up, and have a great time together.
The holidays are fast approaching, and if you're starting to think about what kind of gifts you're going to give this year, I have a solution for you. Red Apple Lipstick's new Christmas 2014 Collection offers an array of fabulous new colors in not just lipstick, but in eye shadow and gloss as well. Any of these would make fantastic gifts for the women in your life.
Every year I look forward to the day when my mom, sister, and I gather to bake a variety of holiday goodies. This tradition is always a blast that includes making messes and lots of laughs. I wanted to share our creations with all of you since our annual holiday baking has
been strictly gluten-free ever since my diagnosis. This makes for an
added challenge, but a much more accomplished feeling when we step back
and admire our work at the end. So here you have it, our holiday
spread. If you would like a recipe, just comment below and I will be more than happy to share it with you.
There are a few foods that I have yet to find a good gluten-free option for. I knew when I was first diagnosed with Celiac Disease that the hardest thing was going to be giving up all the delicious carb-filled sweets that I love so dearly. Luckily, I have found good gluten-free alternatives for most of my beloved desserts.
