March 21st brought me to my 2nd GFAF Wellness Event in Charlotte.
For those of you who don't know, it's a fantastic event focused on Gluten and Allergen friendly foods and presentations. I had so much fun at last year's event, and I couldn't wait to see what was in store this year!
Part of what made Last Year's Event so memorable, was that I was so completely new to this gluten free world, and I was still unsure of what I could and couldn't eat. It can be a scary world when you're first diagnosed...but this event opened up a whole world of YUM, and I've not looked back since.
This year was no different...
I was surrounded by friendly faces, fabulous food, and left feeling FANTASTIC!
Here are my top FIVE favorite finds from this year:
1) Artisan Tropic all natural snacks.

(Seriously though...How did I not know about Yuca before this?!)
2) Red Clay Gourmet Pimento Cheeses
Website Here: http://www.redclaygourmet.com/
Their Flavors take this southern favorite to a whole other world. SO TASTY!
3) Fields of Gold Farm Gelato
Website Here: http://fieldsofgoldfarm.com/
I can't begin to describe the smoothe creamy yumminess that is their product.
You'd have to taste it yourself to believe me! Total 10 on the awesome scale!
4) Five Points Baking Co. Cheese Straws

Perfect as is, or crumbled into your favorite recipe, you can't go wrong here.
5) Rice Wraps Rice Sheets

If you've ever wanted to make sushi at home, but thought it was too hard, look no further.
They have made it so easy that even I was able to do it!
(Yep...I made that!)
