Hi! Thanks for joining me here. My son was diagnosed with Celiac disease 11 years ago, back when the words "gluten-free" were not as common place as they are now. Sometimes we create recipes together, other times I am here for education and support. Feel free to ask questions and remember, I am here for you!!

Pizza place in Franklin and Aunt April's yummy cake!
Yesterday, David and I had the wonderful opportunity to drive to Franklin, Tn and eat at a pizza place that has gluten-free pizza. It's not a very big place as far as places to sit, but we were able to sit at the one table available. I think it's mostly a take out pizza place though. David ordered a meat lover's kind of pizza and I ordered a pick-your-own toppings pizza. Mine had artichoke hearts, banana peppers, red onions, white sauce, spinach and Roma tomatoes. The wait time for the pizza's was 15 minutes and while we waited, well, there just happened to be a very large gluten-free chocolate cake starring at us! It should not surprise everyone that after about an hour an 15 minutes in the car and of course being completely famished, we decided this delicious looking cake would be a fabulous appetizer! To make this moment even more spectacular, the baker of the cake was waiting for her pizza too! April, who is owner and chief baker of Aunt April's Bakery, was so much fun to talk too! She was a wealth of information about places to eat in Nashville that have gluten-free menu's (menu's with more than two items to choose from). We talked about cooking and all sorts of gluten-free stuff! While we were talking, David was eating his cake. He had a look of pure satisfaction! I guess he was so busy eating, that he didn't hear her tell me the recipe for the chocolate cake was a vegan recipe that she had adapted, but that it was still vegan. Of course, I'm not sure that he knows what that means anyways, but either way, he enjoyed the cake! Now, back to the pizza's. They were delicious! And for those of you that don't know, I do not have to eat gluten-free, only David. He's the one with celiac. I just choose to eat it for his sake, plus I do find it to be easier on the digestive system. Matteo's will definitely be somewhere we go again and since they carry Aunt April's baked goods (they carry her brownies, chocolate chip cookies, and oatmeal cookies too!) well as far as I am concerned it's a win-win for all involved! http://www.matteospizza.com/ and http://www.auntaprilsbakery.com/
