It’s always nice to receive a pleasant message, which in turn makes the day that much more brighter.
 
The Attune Foods Community Manager recently wrote to me concerning a  product review of their delicious gluten-free bars.  As a side note, these bars are fantastic and the video and written rave reviews will be posted soon!
 
She shared with me some TERRIFIC news about central Florida and paid me a lovely compliment:

“Tina, The Orlando Sentinel published a blog (click here to read the blog entry) stipulating that ‘Central Florida is considered to be the world’s most celiac-friendly destination.’  I bet your influence and awareness-building had something to do with that!  Have a great day and please let me know if I can be of assistance.”  Attune

Thank you!

I had everyone take diligent notes on their feedback for each and every item I presented. The results have already been put together in my various reviews which my team in LA and FL worked hard on.
 
I want to thank Janet, Head of the Tampa Area Celiacs; and Brian Kelly, Founder of the Pinellas County Celiac Support Group and Secretary Susan Wilson for attending and lending their support and time. A special thanks goes to all those who attended: children, doctors, nutritionists and friends. You are all wonderful and I know you all left with a belly full of delicious food.
 
From this point forward I will be sharing with you the written and video results. Please check the Review sections located on the lower right hand side of my Gluten-Free home page starting on January 28th. Every week I will be releasing more!

One of my most involved projects lately (with my staff in FL and LA) has been the delicious and delightful task of reviewing gluten-free cookbooks, gluten-free foods and a variety of other gluten-free products such as cosmetics, vitamins and more.

My team and I are having a wonderful time and are quite excited to share the reviews with you. The number of truly great gluten-free companies out there has increased exponentially.

Part of the review process includes taste-testing “parties” at both my East Coast studio and West Coast office, including one to be held on Sunday the 17th. Keep checking back for more information on the reviews.
