Sorry I have been so inactive this week! It's been so crazy around here and I haven't had time for much! For those of you don't know, I founded a camp in 2014 called Celiac Strong Summer Camp (www.celiacstrongcamp.org). This is a camp for kids 7-16 with celiac disease or gluten intolerance just a few hours outside of Rochester, NY. Well, this Sunday marks the beginning of year three! I am beyond proud of this camp and everyone that is apart of it. It is a big part of who I am today; these kids have changed my life. This week has been full on camp mode! Receiving donations, making phone calls to demonstrators, volunteers, and food companies, running errands, finalizing the schedule, etc., etc. This, plus a full time job, would be why I have been away for a week! I'm so sorry, I'll be back and running Thursday. Anyways, I'd like to talk to you about camp. I created this camp as a place for kids to be kids for a few days and forget about their disease. The food is all 100% gluten free, and no one has to think twice about what they're eating. That is the magic of the camp! Everyone has one thing in common, a common enemy if you will, gluten. Its a stress free couple of nights, and as short of a time as it is, these kids really look forward to it. If you have any questions, please feel free to visit the website or email me! I am very open to talking about it. If you are interested in sending a child next year or volunteering, please reach out! Once again, sorry for the inactivity, and thank you for understanding.

Hey everyone! I realized a little late in the game I should have an "eating out" tab instead of just posting those on the home page, which is now filled up with them. From now on you can find bakery & restaurant posts over there. Thanks so much for reading!
Donna Marie's has 2 locations, this is the one in Greece, NY. The products are the exact same at both locations, so don't worry! She started the bakery because her friend became diagnosed with Celiac disease and didn't have any good baked treats. Donna took on the duty to create good gluten free and dairy free treats, and I'm so glad she did.
She he has many products and you can order things ahead of time if you want something specific. Donna also does beautiful cakes, she actually did my mother's wedding cake. The first picture is her daughter and I standing outside of the Greece location. There is one other in Rochester. The second picture shows 3 cupcakes, some raspberry lindzers, some cutout cookies, and some almond cookies. All my favorites! I beg of you to try out Donna Marie's. You won't be sorry. **Side note- she also donates to a gluten free summer camp I run, and we are ever so grateful to her! Thanks Donna! |
