National Waffle Day – Gluten Free

Oh yes...I just went there.  Waffles, practically their own food group, gluten free! At school registration today, my daughter and some of her friends commented about the SnapChat filter for National Waffle Day.  That led to one of her friends saying we needed to have waffles.  She has to eat gluten free, so we swung by … Continue reading National Waffle Day – Gluten Free

Middle School Conversations
