It's that time of year again...this gluten free blogger is heading to the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo in San Francisco! Last year was my first year attending the expo and let me just say, it was one of the best weekends ever. I was on the blogger team and my husband (who has celiac disease) was able to join me. We were in heaven the entire weekend. Not only was it precious time away, just the two of us, but we had so much fun! We were able to meet other bloggers, make new ... read more
cookbook review + giveaway…Everyday Classics
Lexie, from Lexie's Kitchen, was one of the first gluten free bloggers that I met after starting my blog, Sarah Bakes Gluten Free Treats. She was so sweet and so encouraging.

dairy free peppermint patties
For as long as I can remember, my childhood favorite candy was York peppermint patties. I would always go for that minty filling and dark chocolate coating. The combination was perfection. I also felt like I was opening a Wonka Bar, with their shiny silver wrapper. There was never a golden ticket inside, but the peppermint goodness was way better anyway. My friends know that I make some type of candy or treat to pass out at Christmas. Always. I make sweets because I love them and because I ... read more
gluten free vegan gingerbread men cookies
