I recently decided that, for the most part, baked goods I share on this blog will be gluten free. I say “for the most part” because I do genuinely love whole wheat and spelt flour, and find that some recipes fare much better than with them than with GF flours. That said, each time I [...]

Before we get to protein pancakes: great comments yesterday! I’m too stressed with tonight’s exam to respond, but I intend to do so tomorrow or on Wednesday. I look forward to it.
