Two Years Already!

It's hard to believe that Gluten-Free Wikaduke has been meeting for two years! During this time, we as a group have offered encouragement and support, shared frustrations and elations and have given gentle nudges in the gluten-free diet direction when needed. Just as we did in November of 2007, we'll have a potluck to celebrate our successes!

If you feel you can provide a safe option, please plan on bringing a gluten-free dish to pass. In addition, please bring a copy of the recipe with the brand names of the ingredients used. Please leave a comment listing your name and what you'll be bringing to share!

If you don't feel you can make a safe option in your home kitchen, you might consider bringing a premade product--something from one of the GF bakeries or picked up at the store, beverages, plates, napkins, cutlery, etc.

As always, many hands make for light work! If you have any questions, please shoot us an email.
