A few people have asked me about Stitch Fix lately, so I thought I would show you what I got in my most recent box. If you’ve never heard of Stitch Fix, it’s a personal styling service through the mail. You fill in your size and preferences, and they send you clothes to try on! Simply decide what to keep, and send the rest back in a pre-paid Priority Mail…
You may have noticed a decline in the number of recipes I’ve been posting on InspiredRD. Where it used to be one or two new recipes a week, you might be lucky now to get one or two a month. I’ve been in a rut, and I couldn’t figure out why until a few days ago. I was helping a friend shoot some food photos for a fundraiser, and it…

Celiac guilt, have you ever had it? Joe missed a birthday party today because I was sleeping off a gluten hangover. My parents who keep a gluten-free kitchen just for me are pulling packages out of the trash trying to figure out what in the world could have made me sick at their house the past two Saturdays.
