Celebrate National Celiac Disease Awareness Day!

September 13th is National Celiac Disease Awareness Day! Celiac disease is a serious autoimmune disorder triggered by consuming gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. For individuals with celiac disease, eating gluten damages the small intestine and prevents the absorption of essential nutrients. This can lead to various symptoms like digestive issues, fatigue, and even long-term health complications. In honor of National Celiac Disease Awareness day, I am sharing one of my favorite gluten-free recipes with you!
