More Marshmallows & Other Gluten-Free Foods

While I’m on the subject of food, assuming marshmallows count as a food, that is, I want to mention how good the cooks at the monastery are with providing gluten-free options. At each meal, there’s gluten-free food; there’s also a deep freezer full of boxes of gluten-free loaves of bread. I guess I didn’t need to bring my own bread after all. Sometimes one of the cooks makes something extra-special. On Saturday, Dolores actually made gluten-free chicken and dumplings for the few of us who either choose to or have to eat gluten-free.

Even better is the fact that dessert is a regular offering here. There’s been pudding and cake and candy and cookies and ice cream and even some gluten-free brownies, and always monastery-canned cherries, pears and peaches. 

Gotta trust a community of women that offers dessert on a daily basis!
