7th Annual Gluten Free Cookie Swap!

It’s my favorite time of the year: Gluten Free Cookie Swap time!

I can’t believe it’s the seventh year we’ve hosted this community event, and now, hundreds of gluten free cookie recipes and thousands of dollars of prizes later, it’s now the 7th Annual Gluten Free Cookie Swap!

This year’s prizes are amazing! I’ve invited some of my favorite brands and companies to contribute prizes and sponsor the Swap again this year, to make it even more fun!*

In addition to these fantastic TOP 3 Prizes, we’ll have flash giveaways like this one from sponsor Goddess Garden: Ambition, Perseverance and Serenity Bracelets with stones and lava rocks matched with on-the-go essential oils like Happy Day, Brain Boost, Grounding, Pick-me-Up & Take 5 to brighten anyone’s mood! Readers commented on which scent they most needed in their lives, and there was lots of excitement!

There’s so much to love about living gluten free!
