Here I am again with a food & diet post, which is a repost from a blogger I recently discovered on Instagram. In this post blogger Andrea Jaramillo is giving you modern-day tips on how to life your foodie lifestyle while having a gluten-free diet.

It took me nearly six months of self observation and becoming conscious of what I was putting in my body (4 months observing my diet, 2 months integrating new changes)
In January 2014, I made the switch to a 90-10 diet (because yes, I LOOOOVVVEEE pasta puttanesca, pizza, cookies, fresh scones, tempura-fried things, gravy, Chipotle burritos, craft beer, cheese and crackers, crusty artisan olive breads and MAC AND CHEESE!!!! I had to…
