I’m on a gluten free kick, and this year I’m doing some gluten-free holiday baking. I met Elana Amsterdam from Elana’s Pantry earlier this year when she was on her book tour for her lovely Gluten Free Almond Flour cookbook, and I’m starting to experiment with the recipes.

Feeling a little tired and sluggish but don’t want to do your usual workout? Doing any sort of movement can help. Even if you’re just taking a walk, cleaning the house or stretching, it’s better than if you just sit there feeling gross.
