Friday Finisher 8/26/16

Published: Aug 26, 2016 · Modified: Oct 31, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

One more week :O How is summer over? I'm pretty sure I'll be in denial for a long time. The summer months just move way too quickly. It's not like that much changes the rest of the year; you go back to school, it gets cold and gloomy, but otherwise, it's just all about mindset. At least we all have that perk up of joy that comes with the holidays, but then we're in it for the long-haul again during those deep winter months. But I'm getting ahead of myself! There is still some summer love left!

So packing will "really" start this weekend so I don't have to worry about too much during my last week at home. When I go to look at it, I really don't have much to do, so nothing will be too taxing. Just a few more things I need to pick up at the store (like ink for my printer...why is ink so expensive by the way?). It's all under control! Bare with me the next few weeks as things get settled, but this space should remain constant and I've been staying ahead of editing photos, etc. I'll finally be getting back to posting some non-recipe posts again now that the summer break is over. I have a ton of new Freedom Features to share and other celiac/allergy posts I've been wanting to give you all!

Enjoy these final days of August and don't forget, summer isn't over until September 22nd! Happy Friday, happy weekend, and happy Friday Finisher reading!

    Wow, all of those pins look absolutely delicious! I am one of those people excited for fall, but to be fair, I always get excited about changing seasons. I'll be just as excited when winter starts to fall upon us. Lol. Thanks for sharing your epic round-up of links!

    That maple salmon...WOW! Good luck with packing. That's good that it won't be too overwhelming! And I feel the same way about printer ink. So annoying! I just had to buy it last week and forcefully handed over my card.

Celiac Disease is NOT a food allergy 🚫🍞 So Celiac Disease is NOT a food allergy 🚫🍞

So many people still confuse the two, but it’s an autoimmune disease, not an allergy. That means gluten doesn’t cause an immediate allergic reaction resulting in hives or swelling…it causes your immune system to attack your small intestine longterm. 

This distinction matters because:
👉 There’s no medication or quick fix
👉 The only treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet
👉 Mislabeling it as an “allergy” is scientifically incorrect. There is no such thing as a gluten allergy.

Swipe through to learn why the distinction is inportant and why accurate education and awareness is paramount. Let’s set the record straight and not mislabel our disease when speaking about it. 💛
