Locust Grove Trail Race-5K

This past Thursday, I participated in a 5K Trail Race at Locust Grove in Wappingers Falls. I particularly enjoyed the scenic route that included the Samuel Morse House, beautiful views of the Hudson River, and a challenging uphill climb. Most importantly, I was also able to raise money for Team Gluten Free! I would love to run more races at college next year, and continue to raise money for celiac disease awareness and research. Here are some pictures of the race. I also wanted to say congratulations to my sister for finishing-she did so well!!

Hudson Valley Celiac Support Group Meeting & Ravioli!

A few weeks ago, I was invited by the Hudson Valley Celiac Support Group to speak about My Kidz Gluten Free Products, as well as bring delicious bread samples. Once again, I enjoyed sharing my story with the members of the support group, and loved the opportunity to hear the personal stories of others. I am excited for the support group's potluck in August; I wish I could attend, but unfortunately, I'll be at college.
Upcoming Event: This Thursday, I will be running a local 5K in Dutchess County, New York, and have registered as a member of the Celiac Disease Foundation's Team Gluten Free. The money I raise for the race will be used for scholarships in order to send children to gluten-free summer camps, as well as benefit celiac disease research.
Finally, I wanted to share the gluten-free ravioli my family and I made this weekend. We used a gluten-free all purpose flour and the filling was made using ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, salt, pepper and parsley. Fork marks on the edges kept the filling from falling out (check out the first picture!) They were delicious!
