It’s like it was written for my eating style – gluten and dairy free without refined sugar!  I love it.  I totally watched Laguna Beach way back in the day.  I lived in LA during the height of that show…and then The Hills…oh MTV days….hahaha.  And now Kristin Cavallari is a legit cookbook author!?!  Crazy times.   Anyway, flipping through the book I am excited about so many recipes.
