<![CDATA[
      Upon my "research" for gluten-free holiday offerings I came across an excellent blog called <a href="http://fabgrandma.blogspot.com/2009/11/butterball-turkey-goes-gluten-free.html">Fab Grandma</a>. As she puts it, "This is my story of living a gluten-free life in an RV". Fab Grandma and her husband sold their house and most of their stuff to hit the road via trailer. Rock on Grandma! Her blog also shares gluten-free advice and recipes just in time to replenish your energy reserve for those Black Saturday sales.<div>

      <div>I also want to give a shout-out to commenter William Beverly who made me aware of gluten-free Chex cereal. The Chex site has several gluten-free recipes including a couple variations of their famous Chex Mix: <a href="http://www.chex.com/recipes/RecipeView.aspx?RecipeId=39479&amp;CategoryId=447">Sweet and Spicy Honey Chex Mix</a>&nbsp;(this one include peanuts) and <a href="http://www.chex.com/recipes/RecipeView.aspx?RecipeId=45857&amp;CategoryId=447">Italian Chex Mix</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.allergymoms.com/modules/wordpress/index.php?p=866s" style="text-decoration: underline; ">Allergymoms.com</a>&nbsp;has some great advice this week on being thankful despite having food allergies. Allergymoms.com consistently offers great advice for families such as news updates and support listings. Even though I'm not a "family" but as I like to say "a family of one", I find value in the information this site provides.</div><div><br /></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; "><a href="http://www.foodallergy.org/" style="text-decoration: underline; ">FAAN</a>&nbsp;(the Food Allergy &amp; Anaphylaxis Network) has recently updated their website and it looks great.
