When I received the Faith Formation Family Meal Challenge, I thought there is no way I could fit this in my crazy schedule!   Even on the rare occasion my family is in the same place at dinner time, we are definitely running off to an activity or sport’s practice grabbing something as we run out the door.

We have been preparing for the changes for a few months now, and as I have reflected on the changes, I couldn’t help but think of the Bob Dylan song The Times They are A-changin’.

SO…Gluten…What’s that!? The new fad diet that everyone is after? Actually, it is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley.  Those of us with Celiac are all too familiar with Gluten because of how sick we feel after being in direct contact with it.
