Gluten Freebird

One of the only good things about coming back from vacation is enjoying the souvenirs (and photos) that you acquired along the way. In our case, there were bags upon bags of coffee, some chocolate bars, and our favorite beans.
The Ferry Terminal farmers market holds some of our favorite food destinations. Gluteneer heads straight to [...]
