Diet, Dessert and Dogs

Happy Friday, all!

As many of you know, I’ve recently started working with the new Simply Gluten-Free magazine, which will make its debut in November (I’m one of the associate editors who’ll be contributing material on vegan cuisine).  The magazine is the brainchild of the incredible Carol Kicinski, who also authors Simply Gluten-Free (the blog), and has produced two stellar cookbooks, Simply Gluten-Free Desserts and Simply Gluten-Free Quick Meals. If you have one of her books or have ever visited Carol’s blog, you know her recipes are creative, varied, and visually stunning. With her at the helm, it’s sure to be a beautiful, high quality publication.

Carol is an expert on all things gluten-free, and she’s brought together a posse of experts to make the magazine (as stated on the website) “a beautiful lifestyle magazine for people with food sensitivities by people with food sensitivities.  These are the people who are not just writing about food sensitivities, they are people who are successfully living allergen free lifestyles every day.” Useful information from people in the know!

In addition to loads of fabulous recipes for every kind of allergy-friendly diet, the magazine will also tackle other topics, such as:

• Beauty
• Medical and Nutrition
• DIY (Do It Yourself) and Crafts
• Fitness
• Homekeeping
• Entertaining
• Travel
• Eating Out
• Special Needs and Special Diets

A “Beyond Gluten Free” section will also provide “mouthwatering, innovative and simple recipes for diets such as Paleo, Dairy Free, Vegetarian, Sugar Free and Vegan”–which is where I come in!

These are just some of the expert contributors you’ll see in the magazine:

Afton Jones

Cheryl Harris

Erin Pickering

Hallie Klecker

Heidi Kelly

Jeanne Sauvage

Jen Penas

Kim Maes

Melissa McLean Jory

Stephanie O’Dea

. . . and moi!

I hope you’re as excited as I am for this publication to finally arrive! In the meantime, Carol is generously donating one full year’s subscription as a giveaway prize to one lucky DDD reader!  I’d love for you to share in this visually stunning and information-packed magazine for the next year (and hopefully, beyond!).

How to enter the giveaway:

Using the Rafflecopter form below, just leave a comment telling me what you’d most like to see featured in an allergy-friendly magazine. Are you looking for a certain type of recipe? Ideas on eating in restaurants? Meal planning? Shopping? Gluten-free makeup? Or something else? Your ideas could help to make the magazine even more practical and useful for readers!

Other Details:

Giveaway will run until next Friday, September 21, at midnight. I’ll choose a winner at random and announce the winner the next day. If I don’t hear back from the winner in 3 days, you forfeit the prize and I’ll choose another winner.

Contest is open to anyone in North America (so sorry to overseas readers. . . hopefully that will change once the magazine gets up and running!).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Simply Gluten-Free is not a vegan magazine.  It’s intended for people on all gluten-free diets.  I am involved with their vegan section, but that section is only one of many!

Good Luck, everyone!

PS If you can’t wait or want to send a subscription as a gift (just in time for the holidays!), there’s an introductory offer on now to get the magazine at 70% off the cover price.  Just click here for details.

SEE THE WINNER, BELOW! CONGRATULATIONS, DEB! Here’s Deb’s comment:

“I can modify recipes for eggless, but would prefer dairy free, simple recipes. I purchased a few cookbooks but they called for so many ingredients, I would not use them. Simple is best!”
