Where I grew up, it wasn’t officially fall until the local Cider Mill opened its doors. From apple pie to apples by the pound, they had everything. (My favorite was the Frapple – a frozen apple slushie.)

One of the most common dialogues I have with clients is how to safely eat gluten free when dining out. When possible, I like to have conversations with my clients that are specific to a given restaurant, whether it is a neighborhood eatery they want to try or options available while traveling. These conversations empower gluten-free diners to enter a restaurant knowing which options are safer than others and how to confidently ask questions about their preparations.
