ARCHIVED How Many Do Whole Foods Only?
gatita replied to heathenly's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips

And after so many months of gastric distress, I'm finding I really like the taste of something simple much more than before -- especially if the food is good to start with, like a real garden tomato. Hitting up the farmers' market and my friends with gardens a lot lately... -
I had the steak cantina bowl last night and also a small bag of warm tortilla chips. It was wonderful to eat fast food that's actually real food. Natural guacamole, wow.
