It is made in Vermont and is delicious. We brought 3 2lb (907g) bricks back to Canada with us when we came back through the USA in April.

Those were my symptoms exactly. I was diagnosed through a medical physician although I didn't have the celiac test done as it isn't covered under our provincial medical plan, instead she told me to go gluten free for a month and see if I noticed a difference which I did, within a couple of weeks and I have never gone back. My symptoms have disappeared, I gained back my weight and I don't take iron supplements anymore. Kevin, did his through self diagnosis and has found that the symptoms that he was noticing have also disappeared. As with any article on this subject you will find many that have differing ideas and many of them from professionals. I think everyone should do what makes them feel their best and stay their healthiest, whatever that may be.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-81011604001949593162014-05-21T17:57:28.614-04:002014-05-21T17:57:28.614-04:00Your healthy eating is impressive.

I think it is somewhere between $4 and $4.50CAN. The last 2 weeks we have bought bread on sale for $3.78 which I know I can't make it for less than that.

I have been able to buy bread on sale the last few weeks for $3.78CAN which is cheaper than I can make it. The flours I use are a lot more expensive so I try not to make too many baked goods which is sometimes hard to do. :-)<br /><br />We think it is so neat to have an owl family right here in our park.

Great of you to go to the trouble to record and publish it. Thanks again! Love your junior great horned owl. How wonderful to be able to see him/her grow up.

No, we haven't tried that before, normally we don't like the store bought syrups other than maple syrup and because it is expensive we usually save that for pancakes and ice cream.
