DESTINATION OF THE MONTH
Morgantown, West Virginia
Morgantown was one of my latest adventures, and this time, we headed there to enjoy some college football! To say I was excited that the West Virginia Mountaineers beat Cincinnati is an understatement! There’s something special about the energy of a college football town on game day. But Morgantown is more than just football! It’s a fun college town with a lively downtown full of local shops and restaurants, scenic riverfront trails, and beautiful mountain views nearby. If you love the outdoors, you can take a short drive to Coopers Rock State Forest for some incredible overlooks. It’s a great spot for a fall weekend getaway, especially if you love college sports, small-town charm, and a little Appalachian scenery.
GF TRAVEL TIP
Always Pack Snacks
When I was recently away, I packed gluten-free oatmeal for an easy breakfast, only to discover it was stale! It was a good reminder to check your snacks before you travel. You never know when plans will change or gluten-free options will be hard to find, so always pack a few favorites. And take it from me, make sure they’re fresh before you go!

RESTAURANT SPOTLIGHT
Just Simply the Bakery - Morgantown, WV
Just Simply the Bakery is a dedicated gluten-free and allergen-friendly bakery and café in Morgantown, WV, and I’m so glad we stopped! Sadly, we didn’t have much time to stay, and the place was busy on a Sunday morning. We grabbed some baked goods for the road, but I’m already planning a return visit! And guess what? They have gluten-free pepperoni rolls! If you know, you know! If you don’t, look them up. I haven’t had one since my celiac diagnosis, so you can bet I’ll be back for those and a gluten-free breakfast! Have you ever visited Just Simply the Bakery? What should I try next time?
WHAT'S IN MY CART
Gluten-Free Product Find
One of my pet peeves is spending a lot of money on gluten-free products that don't taste good. Here is one product I found this week and worth the money!
Franz Gluten-Free Sourdough
This is my go-to bread for a good old-fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich! It’s soft, squishy, and you don’t even have to toast it! If you’ve been missing a classic PB&J since going gluten-free, give this one a try. The best part? You can find it at Walmart!
Black Friday Deals coming soon! There will be sales on guides and consultations. Don't miss it!
