My Gluten Free Week Challenge

Gluten free for a week?

Yup, that’s right, and I am actually excited to kick off this week!

As I’ve mentioned on the blog earlier this year, I have become more conscious of what goes in my body and how I treat it, but of course, without obsessing over it. I am also working towards trying new things and I’ve been really listening to what my body is saying, which is why I am especially excited to start this week-long journey. Aside from the fact that I am challenging myself to go gluten free for the week, May also happens to be Celiac Awareness Month, so this challenge really couldn’t come at a better time so I can really put myself in the shoes of those who have Celiac Disease.

Did you know that more than 330,000 Canadians (about 1 in 100) are affected by Celiac disease? That’s a huge number and I had no idea!

When thinking of those who are diagnosed with the disease, I immediately imagine how difficult it can be at times for themselves and their family to enjoy delicious gluten free options. This is why I decided to partner with Barilla, whose pasta I absolutely love as seen here and here, and show you guys what recipes I love and if gluten free really tastes different! Hint: After trying this simple spaghetti dish, it doesn’t and is just as delicious as their traditional pasta products.

This week I’ll be sharing on my Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to take you through my gluten free week and at the end of this week I will share my go-to recipes with Barilla’s Gluten Free pasta, so be sure to stay tuned!
