Gluten Free Scone Mix

Sticky Fingers Gluten Free  Lemon, Blueberry
and Original are my favorite GF Scone Mixes.  
I highly recommend these to my friends who own tea rooms. 
Why go to the trouble of making GF scones from scratch for 
one or two guests when these are easy and delicious?
Remember: Gluten Free folks don't expect their food
to look or taste like the everyone else's.
I have been Gluten Free for 3 years.
During that time, I have found GF foods I enjoy and
just as many that I don't enjoy.

My First Gluten Free International Travel

~ Travel to Greece and Italy in 2013 with the BCHS Travel Club ~
(high school students)
I couldn't work in a full afternoon tea on this trip, due to the hectic
schedule of a pre-planned group tour, but I did enjoy several cups of tea.

 
Below: the famous Greek yogurt and honey. 
Oh my!  Delicious! 

I ate a lot of potatoes, rice and chicken or pork throughout
the trip.  I was just in my 2nd month of being gluten free.
I did fine, and passed up all the pasta, fabulous breads and desserts.  
I found the following link to be very helpful
I printed the cards in Greek, Italian and French (for the airport)
I love, love, love bread so........If I can go Gluten Free, anyone can!!!

My First Gluten Free Afternoon Tea

 Daughter Melissa arranged to take me for my first gluten free
afternoon tea at Yesterday's Tea Room in Florence, KY
for my birthday in March 2013.
 Melissa had been diagnosed with Celiac about 1 1/2 years before.
We had a choice of salad and a scoop of chicken salad with GF crackers
 Or, a green salad, two GF sandwiches and the salad of the day.
Below our dessert a GF brownie. 
My gluten free journey began on February 15, 2013.
This was my first visit to a tea room and I was so happy!

I probably should mention my Afternoon Tea Journey began in February, 1993.
Eating gluten free and afternoon tea don't go hand-in-hand
but, I have learned a lot since February 2013.
