Thanks for sharing. She is a pioneer in the gluten-free cooking and baking arena. She has really helped many people find yummy foods to eat.

She had a stroke or something a while back and nothing has really been said since her illness. I'm glad to hear she is still alert.

Happy Birthday Bette!! Hope she has many many more.

At the GIG conference in Salt Lake, I talked to a friend of Bette's who said she's been confined to a wheelchair and that it is frustrating for her because she is such a go getter. She said that Bette has been slowly working on one more cookbook . . . hope it's true! She certainly did a LOT for gluten-free baking!
