GIFT GUIDE 2014
Welcome to the Celiac and the Beast 2014 Gluten-Free Holiday Guide! The holidays are my favorite time of year - the food, the family, the cupcakes, the gifts from "Santa" even though I'm a grown adult. However, the holidays are also a very difficult time for those with celiac, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or those avoiding gluten. The holidays for "normal" people are full of baking flour, gluten in the gravy, stuffing and dressing full of gluten, and even gluten in your gifts (thanks for the body care set I'll never be able to use). But we can have an amazing holiday season - full of gluten-free love, joy, cheer, and safe food. Take a look inside this holiday gift guide and find great gluten-free ideas for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and your own holiday wish list!
Please note that as a professional content creator, I do get paid to feature certain brands in this gift guide - as noted in the guide as a paid sponsor. I am also an affiliate for several of these products. However, I featured items in this guide because I genuinely care for them and think that they are great products. However, I also need money to purchase fancy holiday gifts for my cat children.
Thank you all for your love and support. Happiest of holidays to you and yours!

I met the Ninja team at IFBC this year.While I've been rockin' a cheap blender fromTarget for a few years now, my recipes arecalling for a more professional blender thatdoesn't smell like I'm burning tires on a highspeed. While I was excited to receive acomplimentary blender - the Auto-IQsystem is SO much more - including a foodprocessor and the Nutri Ninja. This thinghas some real power!
