I’m so excited to share some news with you! Amy Green and I are launching an exciting new website that we’ve been working on for months! The Balanced Platter launches today – it’s a one-stop site for balanced, healthy gluten-free living. At The Balanced Platter you’ll find an all-inclusive approach to cooking, baking, and nutrition. Regardless of how you need to eat, you’ll find something that fits for you.
At The Balanced Platter we’ll help you navigate the gluten-free, whole foods lifestyle. You’ll also learn easy and effective ways to give yourself and your family wholesome, allergy friendly food and tips for bringing balance to your life through food and lifestyle. The best & brightest food bloggers will be your guides.

In celebration of The Balanced Platter, we’re hosting a month long event called Balanced, Healthy, and Gluten-Free in 2012. Every day this month, some of your favorite bloggers will be sharing their top recipes and tips for staying balanced and healthy. They’re making it easy-peasy for you to kick off the New Year the right way.
On February 1st, we’ll be giving away Balanced Platter Baking Gift Packs so you can use some of our favorite items and ingredients at home.

Holy moly Maggie! How awesome is this? I can’t believe how much this blog has evolved since you started it and now you are on to number two! I’m expecially excited because I’ve just started on the candida diet and am feeling a little overwhelmed. Can’t wait to see how this all plays out! xo
PS the site is adorable! Love the colours and graphics. Katie’s handy work by any chance?
Thanks Annie! It is a Katie Kelly design
Candida diet? That’s going to be a great way to heal! Stick with Diet, Dessert, n Dogs! She’ll be a great help. She posts the first Tuesday of every month at The Balanced Platter. Happy New Year! xo
