...to add to these muffins so I'd have a terrific muffin recipe for you. To me, a terrific muffin recipe is a Staple Recipe!

Good as Gold Gluten Free Vegan reNEWal Muffins

Here's the catch, though. You see, I planned to tell you these gluten free muffins are "incredibly good". 

But, before I used the word "good", I decided to look up the definition. I do this often, especially when I feel I'm about to use an over-used word. I've found over-use can skew a word's meaning. 

Turns out "good" is not an accurate description of my muffins at all. "Good" is really just "OK". 

{good ~ of a favorable character or tendency; suitable; fit; adequate; satisfactory}

These muffins are so much MORE than "incredibly OK"! 

From the way they came to be (my desire to create a healthy, easy muffin recipe for YOU that fits our reNEWal theme) to the nutrition packed into each one (high protein, high fiber, low fat), to the way they satisfy hunger and taste... these muffins are not good.

Perusing Merriam Webster, I discovered these muffins are "GOOD AS GOLD"!

{good as gold ~ of the highest worth or reliability}

That sums it up. A valuable recipe full of healthy, natural ingredients that can be made easily time and time again to help us renew truly is good as gold!

And that's what I want to be to you... good as gold... reliably providing you with valuable information and insights about living gluten free. I want to be your go to resource... what you think of first.

Each and every day I want you to be able to use what you find here at GlutenFreeGigi.com to improve and enhance your gluten free life. I want you to come back often and be a part of the gluten free community we are creating here. Yes. Good as Gold. That is exactly what I want GlutenFreeGigi.com to be for you!

Now, how about those good as gold muffins?

January is half over. Life feels busier than ever. December's  focus on reducing stress during the holidays has given way to our plan for reNEWal, which has me feeling better and more energized than ever! I hope you are, too! 

This week, I have another terrific dish for you that fits right into that plan! It’s a simple, seasonal money-saver, full of nutrition and makes terrific use of a Staple Recipe! It tastes great, too! And when it comes to taste, I show you exactly how I incorporate the Six Taste Groups of Ayurveda into this dish...

There is no magic start date, no potion or secret formula to get us there, and no unpleasant restriction to endure in the name of our good health.

Healthy gluten free living is simple, affordable, and liberating! In this New Year, I’ll continue to show you how to make the most of living “free” all year long!
