Michelle Wooley made the change to go gluten and dairy free with her family.
She says Inspiring people are doing great things for changing the way people eat. For example, Jamie Oliver has a huge range of Gluten free recipes and as I am learning as Ellen Allard says “Its so easy to be gluten-free”. Type gluten free in Google and you will find a huge resource, but even easier than that is simply checking out the recipe books you already have. If you have a recipe that needs tweaking to fit your diet, start writing in substitutes for the gluten or dairy ingredients. It can be that simple.
This is her take on a gluten free and dairy free Lasagne. It is easy to make the taste great. The whole family will be sure to love it. Enjoy
