You see, a friend was telling me about his daughter who is extremely sensitive to gluten. When she played with play dough, she would play with it for hours on end, sometimes even eating some. He described it like she was getting some sort of contact high from the play dough. Come to find out, she was. Because the play dough had gluten in it.

So, they found some play dough that was gluten-free. His daughter would pick it up and play with it for a minute, look at it funny, then set it down. A few minutes later she would go back and repeat the process. But her play dough was no longer giving her that high. It wasn’t the toy in this case, but the gluten that interested her.

I love to cook. I’m also a health coach, a path I chose after going through a health crisis which taught me the importance of eating healthy meals. Now, I want to combine the two — health coaching and cooking — to help people learn to cook healthy meals. To plan healthy meals. And to eat healthy meals. For more, please visit Your Cooking Coach.
