I got the sweetest gift ever from my wonderful santa! I recently just got diagnosed with a severe gluten allergy and it has pretty much made me have to re-teach myself how to cook from scratch again! While my boyfriend is always super nice about trying out my (sometimes not so yummy) concoctions, it is still really hard to get used to.

Therefore you can imagine my delight when a couple days after matches went out, a wonderful gluten free cookbook e-book arrived in my email : ) It even has gluten free versions of some of my old favorite recipes!! I cannot wait to get started!!

A week or so later, another wonderful box arrived at my door right from my secret santa herself! It was all of the ingredients for one of my favorite things to cook - fondue! I've never owned any kind of fondue maker, but I am in heaven any time I go to the melting pot and have always wanted to try and recreate some recipes at home! :) Now I have all the things necessary, plus an old-school fondue book right from 70s, the heart of the cooking style!

Thank you so much to my wonderful Santa for making date night special for me, despite a not so special allergy! You made my whole week!!! :)
