Luckily, gluten free foods are becoming more of a norm.
Many people have a known or suspected allergy/sensitivity to it…and the rest…just don’t realize they do too! It took me 20 years and thousands of dollars (not to mention all the pain and worry) to figure out that my IBS is more than likely triggered by a gluten sensitivity.
So, no matter if you need to be gluten free or choose to be, I hope these gluten free appetizers hit the spot!
