First, I want to thank you all for being part of this community. It’s been such a wonderfully nourishing experience for me have this website and be able to share recipes and tips for good living with all of you.
However, there is another side to running a website. Like everyone in this age of information overload, I’m looking at working better and smarter. Doing more with less. As you may have noticed, I haven’t been posting quite as often. I’ve also gone on a social media diet, checking into Twitter and Facebook a couple of times a week instead of several times a day.
Further, after much consideration, I’ve decided to close down the Forums. Although the forums have served a good purpose, all in all, I’ve found that they are one more place for me to monitor in terms of the work I put into this website. I believe that the community can continue to connect in the comments section of each post and that it will still be productive for you to leave your remarks there.
So yes, change is in the air.
And I’m interested in you. I want you to tell me what type of information you find useful on this site. What are you doing with your life right now and what in particular are you looking for here?
So please, leave a comment and share your thoughts. I’m very interested, even though I do not often respond to comments, I do personally read each and every comment that you leave on every post.
Thanks for 6 great years and looking forward to many more!

Elana, when I first was told that I could not eat gluten I was dazed and confused….and had far too many horrible recipes for gluten free items. I must confess I think I cried, with joy, when I ate my first chocolate chip cookie using your recipe! That being said it is the recipes I come here for and often recommend this site to others. I do not use the forum so I personally will not miss that portion of your site.
Thanks for continuing with the blog and the recipes…..I too had that sinking feeling when I recieved the email about “changes” and am glad that the recipes will still be here when needed.

Love your website! You saved my life when I was diagnosed with celiac disease just over 3 years ago. When holidays (including Jewish holidays) would come around I would have no idea how to do. I quickly learned to rely on your delicious and nutritious meal plans/recipes to feed my family and guests. Your chocolate chip cookie recipe using almond flour was a life-line as I watched everyone around me devour cakes, cookies, etc etc. With your help I was able to bake and bring my own cookies and found that I would have to bring extra to share as others enjoyed them, too. I don’t know where I would be without your help and now I wonder it has taken me so long to say – THANK YOU!!!!

Thank YOU for all of your amazing, healthy recipes. I have been loving your paleo recipes lately- they have been really helpful. I Cant tolerate coconut, and there are lots of recipes out there now with coconut flour, but you are still the only person I really trust with almond flour recipes. I’d love some new ones, or ones even with other flours. :) thank you!!!

I have enjoyed perusing your beautiful website’s delicious gluten free recipes and especially for your almond flour recipes. Thanks for providing a brilliant alternative to corn, tapioca and potato starch. I have referred your website and books to many of my patients who need alternatives to wheat and corn. Wishing you the very best “change in the air”. YEA for Spring!

hi elana, am not sure what you mean by “forums”. i use your site for gluten free ideas and googling a gluten free cookie recipie is what brought me to your cookbooks which i also now own.
i have sent many folks to your website.
it is helpful to see how folks adapt recipies in the comments section so i do hope that you keep this available. it is the way i can try out new dishes even if i do not have the same ingrediants in my kitchen. for instance recently you posted a chocolate pudding recipie with xylitol in it and i adapted it with something else that i did have on hand based on someone elses suggestion.
thanks so much for all your efforts.

I’ve been doing SCD then stopped. Just started gluten-free the 17th. Was going to check out the forums and your recipes closer to see what to do next. I have watched and read other gluten-free sites and there is nooo way I can make any baked goods with that many different types of flour and even shopping earlier today, I wasn’t sure what to buy. I have almond flour, agave and a few other basics. I hope you don’t plan on totally closing down anything because I have your book and really look forward to reading up. I have always like getting your emails with the new recipes.

Elana, I use both your books and recipes online. I try to follow a Paleo diet due to some dietary issues and find it so comforting that I can use your recipes and know they will always work. I enjoy the savory and sweet recipes and just appreciate what you do.
Thank you!
