Die Hard Foodie
Arlington VA
Mentor In: Gluten-Free
Why I want to be mentor: I had an easy introduction to the gluten-free diet through m boyfriend and his mother, both of whom are Celiac patients. Nothing beats being able to email someone with a question and being sure that they know what they\'re talking about.
Lesson Learned: I\'ve learned to NEVER give up after a failure. If something I bake doesn\'t turn out, I eat it anyway and try to figure out what happened. Nothing like a little experimentation to get a cupcake recipe right!
Tip: Move away from the mixes! They're costly and not as good as homemade in most cases. Don't be afraid to start from scratch!
