Well.. living with a food intolerance sucks. Lemmy tell you, I wish I could eat gluten/gliadin containing grains because that stuff is pretty delicious! I found out I was gluten-intolerant 2 years ago after suffering a myriad of physical and emotional pain I had no idea could be attributed to what I ate!

Tis the season of good eats with family and friends or solo even. Sometimes we get classy.. and sometimes... You eat a friend's birthday cake made of chicken wings. Well, luckily for you I went back to classy for this year's Christmas recipe I have for you!
